  1. Past hour
  2. I predict that it won't make an appearance on your end of year list. Because it's a December 2023 album. I remember Doc really hating this one but I really liked it. Dreary cloudy day today, raining off and on, high 40's (8°C) was supposed to go to Home Depot and grab a can of paint and some trim pieces today but I don't feel like it, so I think I'm just gonna stay home and throw this one on right now and enjoy it with my coffee. Kid starts his Easter vacation tomorrow so this'll be my last alone time for the next 10 days.
  3. Sarcofagus - Envoy of Death (1980) traditional heavy metal goodness from "the first" Finnish HM band. I caught wind of it last year and finally tracked down the CD last weekend. It's a concept album from what I can tell, and I'm a sucker for that shit. They Came From Visions - The Twilight Robes (2024) black metal with a folk tinge and horror subject matter from Ukraine. Not quite sure this is a lot different from most of the other BM releases this year except the extremely catchy melodies. Similar to their fellow countrymen Drudkh and svrm. Various Artists - No Future, No Past: Finnish Speed & Thrash Metal Explosion 1986-1992 - killer Svart records comp of obscure/underground Finnish acts from the period. Not a single group I'd ever heard of. Some of the best speed/thrash I've run across in a while. The Finns know their black metal, but their speed metal might be even better.
  4. Today
  5. Sadistic Ritual/Wormwitch - Wormwitch & Sadistic Ritual (2024)
  6. Seen this one pop up twice now. Just added to today's playlist along with Capricorn.
  7. Misotheist - Vessels by Which The Devil is Made Flesh (2024) - Norwegian BM that reminds me of the Icelandic sound of a Svartidauði or Sinmara which is never a bad thing. Exhorder - Mourn the Southern Skies (2019) - Since I listened to their latest offering and quite enjoyed it, I back tracked to this one and find it much better in all honesty. Pat O'Brien is not a patch on Vinnie Labella or Marzi Montazeri as a lead guitarist and the rest of the band seem to pick up rhythm guitar unlike on MtSS making this 2019 offering superior in riffing as well as lead work. Orchid - The Mouths of Madness (2013) - I get it guys, you like Black Sabbath, almost to the point of plagarism. However, there's still entertainment here and that vocalist is a perfect fit so it's all good.
  8. Misotheist - Vessels by Which The Devil is Made Flesh (2024)
  9. They're definitely getting online buzz as a mix of old school 70's doom with a smattering of NWOBHM, maybe a touch of stoner. I like their overall sound.
  10. Orchid - The Mouths of Madness (2013)
  11. They were good live this past weekend. WFH Day playlist: Void of Sleep - Tales Between Reality and Madness - @markm you might dig this one They Came From Visions - The Twilight Robes Santacreu - Cancons d'Amor, Dol i Enyoranca - probably this one too. Ebola - Distorted Romance - way too early prediction that this ends on my EOTY list
  12. Faith No More - King for a Life... Fool for a Lifetime (album)

  13. Early Moods/Sinner's Past-spending more time with this 2024 doom album. It's a pick-up for me. Midnight/Hellish Expectations
  14. Kowloon Walled City - Grievances (2015)
  15. it will depend on the sports integrity Australia investigation I think, you can’t get away with blatantly avoiding anti-doping measures for 20 years without some serious consequences.
  16. Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness
  17. The problem with stopping funding is how much the governments loose. Look at the BS around Crown Casino in Melbourne. After all the corruption that has been found they are still deemed worthy to hold a gambling licence. Why? Because they are the only company big enough to operate such a licence in this state and because it's in the governments best interest to keep the casino operation. The AFL is a cash cow for the government, both state and federal, so the funds we see, and the ones we don't, that the Government put into the AFL come back into the coffers and into the communities tenfold. No government would allow such a operation to be unfunded. If NSW and QLD governments are happy to prop up NRL over the really bad years where teams like the Bulldogs etc were in the news every day for the wrong thing and it over shadowed the games being played there is little these clubs will do that governments wont fund. They tell the media they are unhappy but they wont stop funding it.
  18. ENDLESS LOSS - Traversing the Mephitic Artery NP - HENRY COW - In Praise of Learning. 'Violence completes the partial mind.'
  19. Come on over. You know you want to.
  20. well, with any luck, this will be the straw that breaks the camels back, surely federal and state governments now have a valid reason to terminate any, and all funding for the AFL as a starting point, and if it turns out that rugby, soccer, and cricket have similar problems at the top level which is probably the case that we can stop funding those two.
  21. Parkcrest - ..And That Blue Will Turn Red
  22. I think that the fact that the first statement from the AFL on the matter was not a statement of denial says a lot. It wasn't an admission of guilt either but usually the AFL's first response is to deny everything. However it's not overly surprising, most Victorian's have known for years that the AFL are a law unto themselves. They dictate to the Victorian Government. They dictate to VicPol and they have been able to keep police from investigating criminal activities (for eg players doing business with OMG's). And their drug policy has been a joke since the day it was invented to save their sorry arse employees from criminal convictions. The NRL might not be exactly the same, their drug rules are slightly better, but don't expect things to be too much different for them just because it's not been found out yet.
  23. whew, I thought I was going to have to read that
  24. Oh boy what a doozy of a news story. Think I might need to convert to NRL after the recent revelations about the AFL. Non-Australians, feel free to skip over this post by the way, so apparently the AFL, in an effort to circumvent what is now sports integrity Australia, had a policy of club doctors, hiding a players illicit drug use by inventing injuries prior to game day, so a player who would otherwise fail their drug test Could get off scot-free. Also, they wouldn’t even get a strike against them for the AFL illicit drugs policy. now first and foremost by the sounds of it that had been going on for at least 10 years, and because of the AFL’s illicit drugs policy club. Doctors weren’t allowed to tell any other officials at the clubs that a player was using drugs, I can only imagine how many players have ongoing issues rather than being referred to programs which could help them kick the habit, they were given the green light to use as much as they wanted consequence, free and the doctor would get them out of any potential trouble. I know lead has had plenty of problems with player behaviour before, but I don’t think they’ve ever had a competition wide conspiracy to protect players from the consequences of illicit drug use before.
  25. Miles Davis - Sketches Of Spain Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime ...the young lad opened his big mouth about "80s rock" and "opera" and here we are
  26. Great minds think alike, my friend! Fantastic choice with Evil Invaders, by the way. The guitar work is phenomenal on all of their albums, which I own. Slackjaw - "Vicious Cycle" Some great southern groove here!
