  1. In Vegas for Psycho 21. Lineup has changed a bunch since originally announced, but fuck it's nice to be back listening to loud music with a bunch of filthy heshers. So far today: Deathchant Toke Khemmis Still up: Goatwhore Obituary Health Cephalic Carnage Ty Segall Mastodon Exhorder

  2. Birds of Fire is a lifetime album for me. I've been listening to it on and off for more than 40 years. Still love it. The unworthy who have never heard it need to listen today. But RIITIR is one of my favourite Enslaved albums - maybe the last one where I think all the songs work. Nice changes of pace. Huge riffs, of course. Love it too.

  4. Dammit. I wish I would have known brother but I would probably be here anyway. I will be looking forward to some live shows. Now you have me tempted to go procure some overpriced whiskey or maybe soju from the convenience store and make a toast to the goats. I think I will do that. Also, picked up O-6 my man. It has been a journey. Might change my handle to CAPT Hungarino 😜. If they only fucking knew. NP: Erebus Enthroned - Temple Under Hell. Excellent

  5. I feel like I deal with an endless parade of complete dipshits most days and then pop into the forum and read some of the most self-aware and introspective reflections on life, and well written at that. It is humbling and gives me hope. But I am 45 and teetering between some modest success on the one hand and despondent nihilism on the other. Chalk it up to covid and hectic work and burnout I suppose, but there are days, many days, where I would happily abandon all of humanity if I could survive comfortably somewhere on my own.

  7. Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire Enslaved - RIITIIR ...one of a few latter-day Enslaved albums I've never really connected with. Still not coming together for me. Bull Elephant - Created From Death - @JonoBlade nice work on this, dude. Good atmosphere in the riffs, and I really like the vocals in particular. Gotta say Jaime Gomez Arellano is one of my favorite producers, too. And no, I'm not really hearing the Boss Keloid connection at first listen... 😁

    What's on your mind?

    Re: kids and family subject, it's good to hear from different men at various stages of their lives being able to express ourselves in an anonymous format where we might feel shame to publicly admit these things. To all the young dudes to borrow a phrase, I offer the additional phrase-(if you hang in there) this too shall pass. As one of the older posters here, in my mid 50's now, I went through a number of years of deep unhappiness, but have found a way through. My girlfriend and I moved to LA so I could pursue an acting career in my late 20's...fell into teaching along the way. Married my gf (26 years now) and around 30 she wanted a kid. I did not. Should have worked this out much earlier. Her mother died whom she was very close to and ultimately supported me for a few years. I felt a certain amount of guilt and finally gave into getting pregnant with the proviso that I didn't really want children. I felt a certain emotional betrayal that she would want a child knowing my heart wasn't in the deal, but once I consented, I knew I had to step up. But I felt resentment for years. I wasn't the easiest person to live with and now wish I had been more present for my daughter, now entering her last year in college as a nursing student. We always were careful to keep any misgivings away from our daughter. I ended up bearing most of the financial burden as my wife struggled to find income after pregnancy equal to prior...we had an understanding that we were 50/50 all the way, but her priorities shifted naturally as they will from us as a couple to the child and it was difficult for me as I made the majority of the income (she now has a good job working as a University dean's assistance but still makes significantly under her earning potential) & I was the parent first home as teacher (off early), getting dinner ready, taking her to practices, picking her up from school and all that. The whole time feeling like I settled for a life I didn't really want. I felt like I got a raw deal of being the primary income which wasn't the original plan and having to be the parent at home in the afternoons. But shit happens. Another shameless cliché-we make our own beds. I worked on myself, meditation, etc. I ended up pursuing hobbies and interest on the weekends (Ie kayaking) and was emotionally absent for a few years. Once our daughter started driving and became more independent and then went to college and we became empty nesters, my life has really opened up. Things shift. I think I am less of an asshole as I used to be. Just want to say, whatever your circumstances are now, the givens that Buddhism have taught me are impermanence/change and suffering/unhappiness/grasping/wanting/self-delusion and the like. BTW, I don't identify as a Buddhist, I'm far too much of a materialistic, self absorbed prick to ever find the middle path free free from grasping and aversion, but it's the one world religion that doesn't seem completely stupid to me. I've tried to work on myself and wish I had been a better dad and husband at times. Ultimately, all I can do is move forward and recommit to either leave the marriage which I didn't want to do and think I finally got my head right. It's easy to loose years to regret and discontent. But at some point life will shift. I know it's hard. Try to enjoy the present moment. Note to self-haha.
