Do they break the mold at all, or do they just play it safe again? I'm actually curious, I always feel like they'd be so much better if they'd push their boundaries a bit.

Mgla - ‘Exercises in Futility’ Tracks 1, 4, 5, and 6 are 10/10.

Album analysed. 

 

Have you heard the new track ‘Age Of Excuse II’ off the new album?

Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

Running Wild - Fire and Thunder

Np: Scald - Will of the Gods is Great Power.

Aura Noir - Belligerent till Death (new single). Good.

Marduk - Plague Angel

“No More Hell to Pay” - Stryper (see what I did there??)...

Abattoir - The Only Safe Place. 80s thrash was at the height of its power about now so I can see how these guys got lost in the mix. Enjoyable stuff.

From Last Fair Deal Gone Down, I love "Teargas" and "Help Me Disappear" (another song I still don't understand why they left off the original as a b-side) but otherwise there's not a whole lot from that album which is memorable to me.

Skid Row - 30th Anniversary Edition

Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy

Hello Vinnie Vincent [emoji1591]

Steel Panther - Feel the Steel.

I’m feeling it!!

Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood.

Various dark metal hits on a playlist on my phone, including:

The 69 Eyes

Katatonia

Sentenced

Looks like it’s Finnish dark rock night. Excellent.

 

Yes please!!

Nightbringer/Acherontas 'The Ruins of Edom'

Destruction 'Release from Agony'

New Tomb Mold....podium finish in Best album of 2019 coming up.

^^ So much win with this list.

Ah True Belief. More dollars than sense. Last time I spent 3 minutes out of the house in my underwear I was arrested...
Also, go England! So glad they won the World Cup, although it would also have been good for New Zealand to win. God bless her Majesty and her 11 gentlemen sportsmen. 

Gee wiz, New Zealand got absolutely shafted in the cricket last night.

Anyway, had the pleasure of an hour in an epsom salt float tank tonight, total darkness no sound.....followed by a 45 minute infrared sauna. Feeling totally re-charged.

Going back for a cryotherapy session on the weekend. 3 minutes in your underwear at minus 160° Celsius (-256° Fahrenheit). Good stuff.

Crimson Glory - Transcendence

Sounds like a promising combo, even if it is the middle of summer. [emoji3]

Before the Rain - ....One Day Less.

Perfect melodic death doom for this weather. The song “You...my Ruin” very early Anathema into MDB.

Opportunity to take a new job and essentially double my salary (OTE could be in excess of 100k per annum).  Massive pressure associated with it though obviously.  They came to me though so must think I can do it.  I have the weekend to think it over.

You’re an intelligent guy, of course you can do it. Jump at it. Even if you have doubts if you can do it - say yes and then work out how you’ll do it. Don’t pass it up.

Mötley Crüe - New Tattoo

Tokyo Blade - Unbroken

Saxon - Battering Ram
Venom Inc. - Avé
Hell - Human Remains
