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

Bout damn time we got some new Tomb Mold!

Panzerfaust - The Suns of Perdition, Chapter III: The Astral Drain (Black Metal, Canada) https://panzerfaust.bandcamp.com/album/the-suns-of-perdition-chapter-iii-the-astral-drain Instant pre-order for me. Their last album was my AOTY for 2020 and the one before that was in my top 3 in 2019 so....... needless to say I'm head over heels excited for this one!

Outre-Tombe - Necrovortex

I recently saw a video clip that's going around of some trashy couple doing the horizontal shuffle right in the middle of the pit during Autopsy's set. If you haven't seen it, don't search for it. It won't make your day any better.

Grave Infestation - Persecution of The Living (filthy Death metal, Canada) I'd like to think that if @GoatmasterGeneralhad his own death metal band, that it would sound exactly like this, lol. He's free to correct me if I'm wrong, but this essential stuff for connoisseurs of pure filth.

Temple of Void - Summoning The Slayer (2022) Weak sauce, just like the last one. These guys continue on their disappointing downwards trajectory since the fantastic Lords of Death.

Undergang - Døden Læger Alle Sår Blasphematory - Depths of The Obscurity Cerebral Rot - Excretions of Mortality

Accursed Womb - Hymns of Death and Misery Convulse - World Without God Gorement - The Ending Quest Imprecation - Theurgia Goetia Summa

I'm in full blown death metal mode at the moment.... Morbific - Ominous Seep of Putridity Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation Funebre - Children of The Scorn Amorphis - Privilege of Evil Abhorrence - Completely Vulgar

Morbific - Ominous Seep of Putridity I slept on this one last year and that was massive error on my part. This is thing is damn near perfect.

The Chasm - The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow https://luxinframundisproductions.bandcamp.com/album/the-scars-of-a-lost-reflective-shadow So yeah, The Chasm just dropped a new full length album. Haven't heard it yet but, ya know, it's The Chasm, it's worth a purchase.

Mystras - Empires Vanquished And Dismantled

Blut Aus Nord - Disharmonium / Undreamable Abysses Finally getting to analyze this one as I was away camping for the weekend. My initial take is I like it but don't love it.... yet. This definitely something I'll need to be in the right mood to properly appreciate.

Horrendous - Ecdysis Faceless Burial - Grotesque Miscreation

Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale Been getting pretty big into Funeral Doom lately. This is the best album I've heard in this style so far.

Abkehr - In Blut 0 - Entity Andavald - Undir skyggðarhaldi

A fucking bummer indeed. 41 is WAY too young. I lost interest in The Black Dahlia Murder some time ago but they were a pretty big part of my teenage years in the mid aughts. Caught them live a couple times and Trevor always seemed like a pretty damn cool dude. Lot's of witty, funny stage banter and could always be seen out in audience shaking hands and chatting with people. Never did meet him myself but everyone I know who has had nothing but good things to say.

Evoken - Antithesis of Light It was a nice sunny day outside and I put this album on and within twenty minutes the clouds moved in and it started to rain. Not a coincidence.

Maiden were cruelly taken from us thirty years ago? Hmmmm.... I'm gonna have to disagree with ya there as I'm one of those weirdos who liked the Blaze Bayley albums and their 2000's output (though I won't defend their most recent three albums). As for FOTD, if it weren't for the epic title track and 'Afraid to Shoot Strangers', I'd put it in contention for Maiden's worst ever album. The Apparition and Weekend Warrior are quite possibly the two worst songs the band ever did. It's mind boggling to think that the same band who wrote 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' could produce such monstrous turds.

Ahab - The Call of the Wretched Sea
