Samael "Worship Him"

For anyone not already aware Inquisition recently got dropped from their label (Seasons of Mist), dropped from both the Satyricon tour and Maryland Deathfest after MetalSucks published an article evidencing lead singer Dagon had been convicted of posssessing child pornography. Vince from the MetalSucks website discussed this with Cvlt Nation recently here and the rationale for the article written here. I don’t entirely agree with Vince on some of his points in the interview. Historically the site does this every now and again but this is one of their better researched pieces. True or not Inquisition occupy a large slot in my BM collection and I don’t attest to the view that their music is now somehow terrible and should not be listened to or bought. The world is full of assholes and some of them stink more than others.

What a dick. I never understood “sports fans” who pay money for tickets with zero intentions of enjoying the game. Years ago I worked with a guy who was a football hooligan. He would spend all his money on home and away tickets just to fight. Nicest bloke in the world Monday to Friday but come Saturday a thug.

Master's Hammer "Ritual" - the hype is deserved with these guys. Has taken me an absolute age to cotton onto them but worth the wait.

Sharp's have started releasing Doom Bar in a can. Had four last night and all went down well, smooth amber goodness in a tin. What's not to like?

Had a morning by the beach yesterday and did a 3 mile hike along the coast. Got back and did the lawns and some more tree cutting before having a few beers last night. Not much happening today as a result.
