Atheist - Elements Criminally underrated album by a criminally underrated band

I'm rockin' about 450 tracks on my Sonos 2022 metal playlist with a couple of albums I picked up late 2021. Random current playlist : pretty good mix if I do say so myself- Gevurah 40 Watt Sun Mizmor and Thou Boris/Fade Voivod Dream Unending Skumstrike Sumac Pleabeian Grandsand Immolation Spiritworld KEN Mode Boris/W Chat Pile Gaerea GGGOLDDD Bill Callahan/REALITY-one of the better non metal folk alt rock albums of 2022

Bathory - Nordland I (2002)

I find it amusing that even most commonwealthers with their supposed contempt for the Imperial system of measurements will typically state their heights and weights in feet/inches and pounds respectively, not centimeters and kilograms. Celcius is stupid, if only for the fact that the degrees are too far apart. They only have 100 degrees between freezing and boiling, where Farenheight has 180 degrees. Which makes Farenheight far more precise and therefore more useful. I'd totally be willing to abandon quarters, eighths and sixteenths of inches in favor of centimeters and milimeters though if everyone else would. Don't see America wanting to change over though.

Hell yeah...new Kommand! Death Age https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/death-age

Rigor Mortis 1988 rehearsal Rigor Mortis live in Missouri 1988

Yep, just saw this today. Scáth Na Déithe is killer, The Dirge of Endless Mourning was in my 2020 top 10 if I remember correctly.

Parkcrest - And That Blue Will Turn to Red

Yeah you guys are generally not much more than maybe 5° to 10° different more or less than we are up here just 250 miles away, and lots of times we're even closer together than that. But that 5° can make a big difference. It's often the difference between us getting snow while y'all are just getting rain. You guys also warm up much quicker in the springtime. We can't safely plant shit until about the 2nd week of April here because we'll still regularly be getting frost overnight in late March and even into April. We'll rarely see a 60° day before March 20th (first day of spring) and we won't normally see our first 70° day until mid to late April. Our leaves don't open up on the trees each spring until the first week of May. You probably have your first 70° days down there sometime in mid March when the cherry blossom trees are in bloom in DC. I know from all those MDF trips that almost every year on that last weekend in May you can count on Baltimore getting into the 90's when back home we likely haven't even seen 80° once yet. When I was in school for that one year in SC I remember it was 80° on Valentines Day (Feb 14th) and I thought that was absolutely fucking nuts. You guys have a more consistent heat over the summer as well, I think we're much more likely to have some pleasant stretches in July or Aug where it'll stay in the low to mid 70's. I think subtropical Auckland NZ probably has the most consistent weather with the least 'extremes' of anywhere I've ever been. Their whole year basically stays in between their 50° lows in the winter and their 80° highs in the summer.

Anyone mad enough to spend time in Sydney should be locked in the asylum with those nutty people that like snow.

I can't read any of them!! But I agree, they were obviously borrowing from the Mayhem logo. The two Infernum full lengths are pretty cool, but man that demo was a little rough, even for me. Infernum - Farewell, Poland 2005

i love infernum, but this old logo of their's is so stupid looking! lol. it's like a ripoff of the mayhem logo, but less readable

&.H Target - Yantra Creating I've been waiting over a year for news on this album, and now I just have to wait three weeks for the release!

Lots of places have unpredictable weather and can be prone to some pretty wild swings in the same day. All I know is I don't understand why anyone would voluntarily choose to live somewhere that regularly gets up to or above 100°F (38°C) that's just completely insane to me.

That's good to know because I don't think I'd particularly enjoy the prospect of being felt-up by an Orca. Personally, I rather enjoy living in a place where we have 4 distinctly different seasons, Fall and Winter being my favorites. I tolerate summer (what choice do I have?) but I don't enjoy it at all when the temps get much above 75° (24°C). I do live in shorts and flip-flops almost exclusively during the warmer months (mid June to mid Sept) but I feel like the enjoyment I get from the novelty of wearing less clothes for a couple of months is quite overrated. Can't say I enjoy when we get down into single digit temps like we are tonight, but I definitely prefer when there's a chill in the air and being able to wear jeans, boots and hoodies. Beats being all sweaty and sticky all the time when it's hot, and feeling like I'm stuck inside in the A/C all the time because going outside feels like being in an oven, that's the worst.

Thanks ME! This one even turned out to be right smack in my wheelhouse. I have yet to make a 2023 album purchase on February 3rd, but I see this was actually from 2022 so even if I pick this up my streak will remain unbroken. I recognize that they might have tried to make this one somewhat goat friendly. But for the most part it was still a bit too 'musically interesting' for my tastes. At least the parts that weren't just slow, plodding and boring. Hard pass Doc. Satanic Command - Cult of the Beast's Blood, Brazil 2021. Here we go I've found something that's more my speed.

I really don't know anymore. I have missed out in the past, but the world is a mystery to me since covid started. One of my metal friends up here told me the show was selling fast. Ralph's is not too big. Extra 4 bucks to buy it early online, better safe than sorry, etc.

I feel for you... we're currently at 10°F and it's gonna drop another 20 degrees tonight (that's -23°C for you lot) but I imagine that's peaches and cream compared to having a cool day in the middle of an Australian summer

Can’t wait to escape this unseasonable cold snap, Brisbane can’t be worse then this.

Fuck yes. Just got a ticket for Dead Congregation with Phrenelith, at lovely Ralph's in nearby Worcester (Woostah) this April. Haven't seen either band live before. Good venue, haven't been since the before times, and only my second real metal show in the last 3 years or so. Pumped.

Trespasser - Αποκάλυψισ (Black Metal, Sweden) https://trespasserxvi.bandcamp.com/album/--2 Killer Swedish BM not dissimilar to Marduk or Funeral Mist (but far better IMO). Out today.

Scáth Na Déithe - Virulent Providence (Irish blackened/death) Been awhile since I paid attention to these guys, but apparently they also dropped an album in 2020...former member of Dúnmharú. https://vendetta-records.bandcamp.com/album/virulent-providence

Calderum - Lord Cramridor comes out today https://deathprayerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lord-cramridor

Act of Impalement - Infernal Ordinance Meaty riffy death metal. Out 2 February on Caligari Records

powerful song! \m/

John Wick's biggest problem is John Wick. No1 was good, No2 was okay but not really anything startling and No3 was pretty much just rinse and repeat.

You should do it. I like Dopethrone but I'm too lazy to write reviews.
