Yellow Eyes - Confusion Gate.
In the woods - 3x7.

Radiohead - OK Computer
Type o - October Rust
Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding

Mayhem - Daemon (was a struggle to sit all the way through this, really boring). 
Gallower - Vengeance & Wrath
One of Nine - Dawn of the Iron Shadow (had this on repeat, and it is blasting again this morning.  Lord of the Rings inspired BM that was released this year. They are from Canada, I think, but it has just captured me, perhaps it is just that time of the year).

Ministry- The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste.

Fate's Hand - Steel, Fire & Ice

Technically this should be great, all the elements are there but it's not really working for me, some great moments and riffs but not really memorable which I think is the downfall of a lot of Modern Heavy Metal.

Vocals on their own are great but I think are a bit too Scald esque and doomy for this kind of heavy metal I reckon but I'll give it another couple of goes.

I gave it a quick blast recently and that seems like a fair assessment. I must revisit it and see if it's a grower, but I think a lot of HM bands have all the elements perfectly in place bar memorable song writing.

Actually they are playing Antifa-fest, yeah? Must grab my tickets this evening before it's all sold out!

Exocrine - Legend.

One of my faves from last year. The young lad on the drums (edit - Théo Gendron) is an absolute fucking monster.

Yeah they're playing the Friday so was doing some prep. I fell for the '25 tickets left' panic but doesn't seem to be the case now, good tactic  :laugh:

Also the dude is now hinting that the show isn't really in Frankston so don't really know what's going on, the lengths you've to go for a D666 show to go ahead these days I suppose, it'll be like a Heavy Metal scavenger hunt on the day  :laugh:

Imagine. All this drama over Destroyer 666. Mad craic  :laugh:
