It was a joke. NokturnalBoredom was a former poster here who, like yourself, really leaned into the whole "I am very badass and nothing offends me" shtick.

Okay I'm about 95% convinced this is that NokturnalBoredom guy with a new account, lol.

Warfare - Doomsday Whoa! What's this??? A new hardcore album in 2022 that I actually like!?? We are living in the weirdest timeline...

KVAD - Cold & Dark, As Life (2022) Yeah this is some good shit.

Fair point and you're most likely correct here. However, it is strange and incredibly frustrating in this instance that the entire Enslaved discography has found it's way on to Spotify, which I'd have to imagine would require a licensing agreement similar to that of bandcamp, yet only roughly 1/3 of those albums are available on bandcamp. I really hate to have to rely on Spotify and Youtube for music but I guess that's the way the wind blows these days...

Enslaved - Isa Enslaved - Ruun Put these albums on bandcamp! Fuckers!

I'm no nutritionist but I'm pretty sure if your diet mainly consists of whole foods and minimal sugar, you're probably gonna be okay.

Grima - Rotten Garden

Calderum - Mystical Fortress of Iberian Lands (2022) This is the raw black metal album to beat this year. This thing is fanfuckingtastic. Morrigan - Plague, Waste and Death Finally got around to picking up something from these guys after many glowing recommendations from the Goatmaster. Yup, these guys are indeed very good. I slept on them for way too long. Better late than never right?

Well..... that's promising news. Hopefully they wind up on bandcamp. My old 192kbps Mp3's from Itunes are in dire need of replacement lol.

Darkthrone - Arctic Thunder

Stangarigel - Na Severe Srdca (2022)

It's freakin' hot as fuck outside! California punk it is... Circle Jerks - Group Sex Dead Kennedy's - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables D.I. - Horse Bites Dog Cries Descendants - Milo Goes to College

I last saw Maiden in 2012 and they were commemorating their tour to "Seventh Son..." and they were utterly fantastic. Literally couldn't have asked for a much better show and setlist. Mind you, they were merely uhhhh.... 60 yr olds back than and not..... whatever they are now (math is hard). King Diamond - Them King Diamond - Conspiracy

Hierophant - Death Siege (Black/Death, Italy) Now this right here is how I want my Black/Death to sound! Everything about this rules. Releases Aug 26.

Saidan - Onryō II: Her Spirit Eternal (2022) Man, this album is such a weird beast. I like it, but..... it's weird. It's like the closest I've heard of someone making an actual competent cross between pop, punk and black metal. It shouldn't work and I shouldn't like it, but it does and I do.

I checked out that new Stellar Tomb demo and it just made me wanna listen to Inquisition, and now I can't stop.... Invoking The Majestic Throne of Satan Magnificent Glorification of Lucifer Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm Nefarious Dismal Orations

The Colorado Avalanche are actually my favourite team. They were very dominant in the late 90's/early 2000's and I hopped on the bandwagon then and stuck with them since. I hate Toronto with a burning passion haha. You are correct that fighting originated in Hockey as a form of self policing. Particularly as a way for teams to protect their teammates, like if an opposing player takes a run (hit or body check) at a star player than that guy probably gonna get some punches thrown his way. So it's a deterrent more than anything. But the NHL implemented what's known as the instigator penalty, meaning that whoever is perceived to have started a fight on the ice gets an extra 2 minutes on top of his 5 minute fighting major. So anytime a fight occurs in most instances one of the two teams will be on a powerplay afterwards, and it's not in a players interest to knowingly make his team kill a penalty haha. The league also made it a rule that you cannot take your helmet off when you drop the gloves. These rules have proven to be quite effective in reducing fighting in the game.

Rodent Epoch - Hidden Temple (2022) This seriously rules!

Yeah.... uhhhh no. Fighting in Hockey has diminished greatly in the last 15 years or so, both though stringent new rules that have been implemented and newer, younger players smartening up and realizing that breaking your hand or jaw in fight puts you at a missive disadvantage lol. It's actually almost rare to see a fight in an NHL game nowadays. And I'm saying this as someone who watches A LOT of Hockey (and has played it a lot in my youth).

Rainy Monday jams... NONE - Life Has Gone On Long Enough NONE - Damp Chill of Life

King Diamond - The Spider's Lullaby Underrated.

Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath King Diamond - Fatal Portrait

Ethereal Shroud - Trisagion The Ruins Of Beverast - Exuvia Stormkeep - Tales of Othertime Mystifier - Goetia
