Vocals semi ruin it. They ran through several and none were any good. Great guitarist, mediocre songwriter.

First 7, BNW and then pass. I guess of we can include live recordings, Live After Death and Beast Over Hammersmith can round out the top ten. Everything after BNW is skippable. A few good songs, but 😴

Love the duet between Kiske and Deris on the Blu Ray. They either really like each other or are the best actors in music history.

In some ways, the best Ozzy-era Sabbath tune. Not metal, but just good old heavy blues.

Strange mix of singers in the woodpile here. Steel Prophet? Sure. Fates. Ok! Evergrey? If you say so. Nick is a cool dude, but you don’t get many white collar execs running metal bands, that’s for sure.

That second one is the look when you remind him it’s been over 18 years since his last album of new material came out.

This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire).

But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.

“If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.”

Also, there’s not really a Constitution anymore. Just meaningless words on paper.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”

As a follow-up to yesterday’s Messiah Marcolin post, has any band had more good singers than Candlemass? Langkvist, Marcolin, Vikstrom, Lowe, Leven…repeat as needed.

Pretty solid second band Memento Mori, too.
