Om - Pilgrimage (2007) Hawkwind - Warrior at the Edge of Time (1975)

Exhorder - Defectum Omnium (2024) Inconsistent but never terrible, more disappointing when some of the good ideas are never fully realised or get ruined by some of the sub-par moments. Lead work is some of the worst I have heard in a while though. Poorly developed and largely directionless in sound. Saved by the weight of the riffs though and a solid shift done on the drum stool. How many halfway decent groove metal albums do you get in a year nowadays? How many did we ever get in fact? Would listen to again but doubt I would buy.

Nightfell - A Sanity Deranged (2019)

KEN mode - VOID (2023) Kowloon Walled City - Grievances (2015)

Stargazer - A Merging to the Boundless (2014)

Whores. - Ruiner. (2011)

Buzzov•en - ...At A Loss (1998)

Sadus - Swallowed in Black (1990)

Cannibal Corpse - Chaos Horrific (2023) This. Absolutely this. More is less for my brain and always has been. It is not always necessarily brand new releases though, the same applies for aything new to my ears, in order to truly appreciate it needs to be drip fed.

Dopelord - Children of the Haze (2017)

Vampirska - Torturous Omens of Blood and Candlewax (2020)

Took a day off work today after spending some of the weekend keeping vigil at my 97 year old grandmother's (eventual) death bed side. Cold but sunny day here so perfect day for a long walk. I don't want to live to be 97, surely such a big number deserves some option to go out on your own terms, not get eaten away by cancer and die high on morphine whilst soiling yourself.
