I'm here to inform you that there have been 164 recorded births of males named Eugene in Australia in the 75 years between 1944 and 2019. 

And every one of them would have put lemonade in their beer at some point (possibly not the little dude from 2019).

Funeral - From These Wounds

Paradise Lost - Draconian Times

Paradise Lost - In Requiem

Slumber - Fallout

Novembre - The Blue

My Dying Bride - The Ghost of Orion

Mgla - Excercises in Futility

Count Raven - Mammons War

The Sombre - Shapeless Misery 

Lots of Silent Enigma-era Anethema in this.

Immortal -  Battles in the North

Sabbat - History of a Time to Come.

Marduk - Serpent Sermon. 

I was in London a few weeks back for the hottest day they’ve had in their glorious history and I gotta say it was brilliant. 
 

Also, so many ‘hot’ girls walking around too. Crikey.

Is that generally the sign for: tonight's your lucky night? Should've jumped in there with her to harmonize the chorus.

Yep. Didn’t realise I was a Wanted Man….let’s just put it down to a Lack of Communication.. 

Sorry guys, I’ll show myself out.

I dig the debut and Empiricism. They're a weird band for me though, there isn't much middle ground. I can't find anything to latch on to in their other stuff and I kinda hate some of it. It's like the planets just happened to align for a couple of albums. 

NP: Opeth - Still Life

My first Opeth album; Godhead’s Lament probably my favourite Opeth song ever.

Which transport did you get? I've been thinking of getting a new one. I really like the convenience of my server, but there are a few CD's I have that I randomly want to play but not rip, and the server has the occasional annoying hiccup that while not catastrophic are still aggravating. Also annoying is that some files load as duplicates which means that the albums have to be manually added to a playlist to avoid that. Plus, I just really like audio gear....

Borknagar has the ignoble distinction of being the quickest set I have ever walked out on. I've probably walked out on 100+ sets over the years. I will usually stick around for 1-2 songs even for shitty bands I'm not really interested in, but I only lasted 15 seconds into their 2019 set at MDF. Fucking wretched. As soon as IC Rex started singing, I was out.

I went with the Audiolab 6000cdt, which I run into my NAIM DAC/Amp. Looked at the Audiolab 6000 Amp but given I already use the NAIM system it made sense to keep it that way. 
 

*Gee, no love for Borknagar 

Since I bought a new CD Transport my listening has reverted back 90% to hard copy. Absolutely loving it too.

Tonight’s (Decision) has seen the following rotate through:

Paradise Lost - Icon

Goatwhore - Constricting Rage of the Merciless

Katatonia - Tonight’s Decision

Novembre - Classica

Borknagar - True North

Love this. Kunnes Varjot Saa  is massive. One of my favourite tracks of all of 2020.

New Severe Torture EP in the office today.

Stormruler - Under the Burning Eclipse

New Rotheads. Dirty old school death.

I thought Heathrow had melted into the sea!

To be fair, those 2 days were pretty hot but it was more bearable than the Abu Dhabi heat. 

People in the Etihad Airlines Lounge at Heathrow Airport listening to the new Witchery album = 1.
