It's very good, they all have some great songs on them.

Riot - Burn The Night
Decapitated - Nihility
Behexen - Rituale Satanum
Immortal - Damned In Black.

A fine mix indeed.

Spartacus: House of Ashur

Once you get past the initial alternate timeline silliness, it's basically back to extremely watchable, violent entertainment. And tits.

Are the tits historically accurate?

I read a review saying it's absolute shit, I can't remember where.
Skims over the albums and quite disjointed in the approach.
I'd still like to get it though to see for myself.

Slayer - A Season In Hell. It's from the Divine Intervention tour. They blaze through the songs, brilliant.

Tempers Frey - Return To The Earth.

Nasum - Inhale/Exhale

I've started season 2 and it's still enjoyable.
No sign of season 3 yet for us, the flamin galas.
Madge from Neighbours had a bit part in the Haikeys Comet episode.

Currently watching The Newsreader on Netflix.
It's quite good, the fact that it's Australian makes gives takes away that American sheen you'd normally expect with these kind of things.

The soundtrack is good as well.

The reviews I've read say it's the best thing since this and that.
There seems to be no objectivity.

I think Hetfield's sons band should offer Dave an opening slot of one of their tours.

It's hard to beat that feeling of when something clicks and everyone is on fire and the dust is shimmering in the dingy rehearsal space.

You could be the new Narcotica

Or Leaher Mike....

I've never promoted my band here.
I couldn't take the pain.

I've played one gig since we got back together.
It was brilliant but as I was helping lift an Ampeg 8x10 up the stairs in Fredz I realised that I'm more cut out for being a rock star over being a roadie.
Who needs an 8x10 upstairs in Fredz?
Apparently we do.
I believe we are playing another gig this year.
The tour that never ends.

I was in a band years ago and it fizzled out.
During one of the lockdowns the guitar player sent me music and asked me to write lyrics and sing over it as a once off.
About 3 years ago we went back at and have continued to do so.
2 eps recorded and released digitally to little or no fanfare. the next one we are
currently writing should be called just that.

Still it's more than just fun, it allows us to make noise whilst having some form of creativity.

I still have moments when I hear something and get that goosebump holy shit feeling.
It might be new band, an old band that delivers something wild or something like that.

It's far more of a rare thing to happen nowadays but when it dies it's equally as z brilliant as the days of yore.
