Zero alcohol beers all day for us. Even had a hot chocolate in the hotel bar when we got back for a nightcap.

#NowPlaying Mark Morton - Without the Pain, 2025

Lamb of God this ain't.

Cool and groovy this is.

#NowPlaying Rotting Christ - 35 Years of Evil Existence Live, 2025

Getting myself revved up for Saturday while I'm doing some gardening.

When your on-call cut off time passes and you can finally relax.

Guinness Zero, still off the booze.

#NowPlaying Frantic Amber - Death Becomes Her, 2025

In fairness, I was expecting some sort of St. Anger style shenanigans with the band name, but I got some very nice all girl melodeath.

Tidy.

#NowPlaying Buried Realm - The Dormant Darkness, 2025

Dear god...

Another outstanding release from the insanely talented Josh Dummer with some choice guest artists.

#NowPlaying Warfield - With The Old Breed, 2025

Absolutely banging blackened thrash.

What a way to start a Sunday morning!

#NowPlaying Allegaeon The Ossuary Lens, 2025

Initially I wasn't convinced, but it just got better and better. Insanely complex technical blackened prog death with some outrageous guitarwork.

Pummelling.

#NowPlaying Benediction - Ravage of Empires, 2025

Take Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Lamb of God and Slayer, throw them into a big sack, shake them up and what pours out at the end will sound just like this.

Banging.

My favourite book.

#NowPlaying Colliding Worlds - This World Shall Fall, 2025

I know we all interpret things differently, but this really gets me thinking like if Vangelis did the Blade Runner soundtrack but got Opeth and Rotting Christ on board as collaborators.

Wondrously cinematic death prog insanity.

> has a style all its own, and being a huge Rotting Christ/SepticFlesh fan, this is right up my street. Expansive, melodic and oh so very dark, this is absolutely delicious.
March 29, 2025 at 7:20 AM
> are, to find this gem. Normally I'm very picky with genres, I tend to not bother with certain ones unless I get a particular recommendation, so this week is completely blind. This goes hard from the start and is some supremely cultured black metal, from where else? Greece. Hellenic black metal >

#NowPlaying Lucifer's Child - The Illuminant, 2025

Since @kmanriffs.bsky.social is taking some well deserved downtime, it's left to me to research the new releases for #FFFMar28, so imagine my surprise going through this week's list with no idea where any of the bands are from or what genre they >
March 29, 2025 at 7:20 AM
> what you'd end up with that. It's all that and so very much more. Endless riffery, bonkers songs, and while it's dripping with cheese, it's massively enjoyable with some very excellent shred guitars.

Seriously, if you love metal and wildly differing influences, you will love this.

#NowPlaying URN - Demon Steel, 2025

I've listened to a lot of music over my very many years, but stuff still has the ability to surprise me. This is one of those moments. Imagine Venom, Amon Amarth and Iron Maiden met backstage at a festival and decided to collaborate on a thrash album. This is >
March 28, 2025 at 4:55 PM
#NowPlaying Doomsday - Never Known Peace, 2025

Definitely more pure thrash than crossover, but still absolutely banging. Definitely got Power Trip vibes though.

Excellent stuff.
March 28, 2025 at 11:01 AM
#NowPlaying Crawling Chaos - Wyrd, 2025

Absolutely outrageous death metal, dripping with progressive nuance - stunning musicianship, crazy time changes, riffs for days and just so very off kilter - that never fails to surprise.

A genuine spanker of an album.
March 28, 2025 at 6:21 AM
I had the same! I love it when the postie brings me nice things.
March 21, 2025 at 7:52 AM
When your new Sergeant Thunderhoof album turns up and the lovely folk at Pale Wizard Records send you a free album with it. 😍

#NowPlaying Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars, 2023

First Mastodon and now these.

Strange times.

Great album mind.
March 18, 2025 at 2:50 PM
#NowPlaying Entombed A.D. - Dead Dawn, 2016

Yet another one for the Stockholm shopping list.

She's gonna shit when she sees the total spend. 🤣
March 18, 2025 at 9:40 AM
> the album I listened to before that one was this one from last year, from Mourning High, who are all over my socials at the moment. And again, that same influence is writ large across it, from the riffs to the vocal phrasings, it's obvious who their main inspiration is. I'm not going to reveal >

I went to the Albert Hall a couple of weeks ago for a gig, first time I've been there. That place was spectacular as well.
