Holiday reading.

The first chapter alone throws up some worrying parallels to current events across the world, almost 90 years on...😥

And again. What a way to start a damp Derbyshire Monday morning.

Gonna be fun in the hills later.

Glenn Tipton interview. What a legend.

#NowPIaying Attacker - The God Particle, 2024

Fucking hell.

Fucking.

Hell.

This is the shit.

Seriously, this is the shit.

Renting a lovely old cottage in a beautiful chocolate box country village is all well and good, but when you're over 6', your head meeting stupidly low beams is painful even at very low speeds. 😭🤕

Always screen your followbacks.

That's probably the nicest pint of handpulled Black Sheep I've ever had. With Peveril Castle in the background. 😍

The view from home for the next week.

Not bad if I say so myself.

In these strange times, what's the best course of action?

#NowPlaying Mother Of All - Global Parasitic Leviathan, 2024

Nicely done melodeath with very effective hardcore style vocals. It drops into some nice LoG type groove at times too.

#NowPlaying Heresiarch - Edifice, 2024

Much like the Sum Herald album last week, this has oodles of Behemoth worship throughout its entirety, and it's bloody good.

I approve.

Alex Espargaro with the 226ERS bottle. 😍

#NowPlaying Castle Rat - Into the Realm, 2024

Bizarrely, this did nothing for me on my first listen, but I think I was a bit distracted. Second spin however, in the car, and it became a wholly different beast. Occult, female fronted doom that's as groovy as fuck.

Epic stuff.

#NowPlaying Heavy Temple - Garden of Heathens, 2024

Another stunningly good psychedelic stoner freakout.

Absorbing.

Every morning:

Make tea.

Sit down.

Scroll videos.

Go down rabbit hole.

Remember tea.

Tea cold.

Bollocks.

#NowPlaying Exist - Hijacking the Zeitgeist, 2024

Opeth does djent?

Actually, there's a lot more to it than that, with a huge variety of genres and influences to pick out.

It's hugely complex but highly enjoyable.
