The user experience on here has become atrocious. I've stuck it out because the I've loved the metal community so much, but an alternative for that now exists over at BlueSky. So if you want to find me, I'm there (same handle).

If you're new there and want to find the rest of the accounts you follow from here, use the browser extension 'Sky Follower Bridge' (available on Chrome and Firefox). It did a great job helping me get setup.

Massive meloblack that expertly wields usual genre elements (synths, piano, clean vox) to propel a haunting tale of forced scientific experimentation. Variation in riffing and tempo are used to make an engrossing 43mins, with a sublime instrumental closer

A melodic black/death album at its core, Dyssebeia eschew the usual genre trappings with a distinct progressive flourish to the riffing. A clear songwriting intent to stay tight and focused prevents the songs from being too weighed down by different ideas

On Monday night I got to see the legendary Steve Vai! A jaw dropping 2.5 hours of virtuosity, a great mix of new and old songs and all at a venue walking distance from my Mum's place 😂

There's not much I could reasonably add about this release that Ryan from @progsubway didn't cover in his great review (where I found this release). Excellent musicianship, fun songs and tight quality control at ~45 mins runtime.

Soul Giant has crafted a bombastic debut full of expertly utilized prog tropes we know and love. theprogressivesubway.com/2023/10/18/rev…

As for the gig, what an outstanding night!

I found out later that Hemina were playing through some difficult personal circumstances, but you wouldn't have known it from their performance.

A great set with songs across their albums, I was stoked to see my fave In Technicolour 🌈 (couldn't resist an opportunity to capture some of it)

#OceanstoOutback Run #10

Bit late posting this one. Slept through my alarms on Monday morning and missed the run club, so I did the run club loop (in reverse) on my own in the evening before dinner

#OceanstoOutback Run #7

A longer town loop with a spin up Gilly lane for some elevation (and photos!) Could’ve done without the magpie swooping along the way though!

Speaking of albums that hit hard though: picked up these on Bandcamp Friday 🤘

#OceanstoOutback Run #3

I’ve had a bit of a crook back so taking it easy for now - just a short 3km post-dinner run.

#OceanstoOutback Run #4

Having a long weekend down the South Coast, so an excellent opportunity to mix up my runs. 6km today to make up for not getting out yesterday.

The two 2022 EPs were not a fluke, Horned Lord doesn’t depart from Moonlight Sorcery’s established formula of BM with neoclassical shred and symphonic bluster, but delivers a confidant declaration: “Black Metal can be fun, and we’re gonna show you why!”
