    EL PLACER TAMBIÉN SANA: RECONECTAR CON TU CUERPO DESPUÉS DEL CÁNCER DE MAMA

    • Hay que visibilizar la dimensión sexual y emocional del cáncer de mama; sanar también significa volver a sentir

    Ciudad de México, octubre del 2025.- Cada año, miles de mujeres en México enfrentan un diagnóstico de cáncer de mama. La prioridad se vuelve sobrevivir: someterse a tratamientos, adaptarse a cambios físicos y emocionales y volver poco a poco a la vida cotidiana. Pero, ¿qué pasa con la sexualidad después del cáncer de mama? ¿Qué ocurre con el deseo, el placer o la manera en que una mujer se relaciona con su cuerpo?

    En el marco del Día Internacional del Cáncer de Mama el próximo 19 de octubre, Platanomelón México, marca líder en bienestar sexual,destaca la necesidad de hablar del placer, la sexualidad y la reconexión con el cuerpo después del cáncer. En México, el cáncer de mama sigue siendo una de las principales causas de muerte por cáncer de acuerdo a la Fundación CIMA y ocupa el cuarto lugar de mortalidad a nivel mundial (Global Cancer Observatory, 2022). Pero más allá de las cifras médicas poco se habla de cómo afecta esta enfermedad a la sexualidad y al vínculo con el cuerpo.

    La calidad de vida de las pacientes, no sólo depende de su salud física, sino también de cómo se sienten con su cuerpo y sexualidad. A pesar de ello, el tema sigue siendo poco abordado en los tratamientos médicos tradicionales. Según el estudio de Martínez N. et al (2025), el 58.3% de las pacientes que reciben tratamientos de mastectomía, quimioterapia o terapia hormonal experimentan dificultades sexuales por los cambios físicos, hormonales y emocionales que alteran la forma en que una mujer percibe el deseo, el placer y su cuerpo y que impactan profundamente en la autoestima, la identidad y la vida sexual.

    El seno, además de su valor erógeno, forma parte central de la imagen corporal femenina y de la identidad sexual. Tras una mastectomía, muchas mujeres deben reconstruir su autoestima desde una nueva relación con su cuerpo, pasar el duelo y el enojo para empezar con la reconciliación consigo mismas. Superar el cáncer no sólo implica sobrevivir, también significa reaprender a habitar el propio cuerpo, reencontrarse con la confianza y resignificar el placer. “El cáncer de mama cambia la relación con los senos, pero también con la feminidad, la sensualidad y la autopercepción. Hablar de placer después del cáncer no es frívolo, es hablar de salud y reivindicar el derecho a vivir con bienestar integral” señaló Claudia Lobatón, sexóloga de Platanomelón México.

    Platanomelón México promueve la idea de que el placer es salud y que platicar de sexualidad después del cáncer no debe ser tabú. El disfrute sexual no sólo tiene que ver con penetración vaginal, si esto resulta incómodo o doloroso, también puedes introducir tus dedos antes de probar con un juguete o con tu pareja. Los juguetes sexuales -desde un succionador de clítoris hasta un lubricante íntimo- pueden ser aliados valiosos para redescubrir y reconectar con las sensaciones de forma paulatina y amorosa, siempre desde la empatía; porque el bienestar sexual contribuye al equilibrio emocional y refuerza la autoestima.

    RECONECTAR PARA SANAR

    Reaprender a disfrutar requiere paciencia, comunicación con la pareja y una disposición a experimentar nuevas formas de placer. No hay prisa, ni tampoco una “forma correcta” de volver a sentir, sólo la certeza de que el placer también forma parte del proceso de sanar. Es importante recordar que la autoexploración no solo sirve para detectar signos de cáncer, también es una forma de reconexión emocional y erótica. Igual la masturbación consciente puede ser una herramienta de empoderamiento y bienestar emocional ya que ayuda a liberar endorfinas, reducir el estrés y fortalecer la autoestima (Wehrli et al.,2024; Bowman et al., 2014)

    Estudios recientes (Aldecoa et al 2024) muestran que la calidad de vida de las pacientes mejora cuando reciben acompañamiento para redescubrir la sexualidad y aunque el apoyo sigue siendo insuficiente, la mujer sí puede trabajar con ella misma para reconectarse con el placer, es decir, darle permiso a su cuerpo de sentir de nuevo. Mirarse al espejo, acariciarse sin juicio y reconocer nuevas sensaciones, son pasos simples pero transformadores. Así, hablar de placer después del cáncer de mama es hablar de libertad, de recordarle al cuerpo que merece sentirse bien otra vez.

    Empresas como Platanomelón México interesadas en la educación sexual y en el bienestar sexual busca visibilizar la dimensión emocional y sexual del cáncer de mama, invitar a las mujeres a reconstruir su autoestima desde el amor propio, la autocompasión y el placer y acompañarlas en el proceso de reconexión. Abrir un diálogo empático y educativo sobre cómo reconectar con el cuerpo, el deseo y el placer después del cáncer de mama; porque sanar no sólo significa vivir, sino volver a sentir.

  2. CONOCE EL CALENDARIO DE ADVIENTO DE

    Aburrimiento sexual: un problema que afecta a más del 80% de las parejas

    ¿Qué hacer para apagar el piloto automático y redescubrir lo que realmente enciende la relación?

    Actualmente, hombres y mujeres enfrentan una vida en la que tener tiempo para sí mismos se ha convertido en un lujo. La hiperconectividad, el estrés cotidiano, las responsabilidades familiares y las rutinas laborales exigentes, entre otros aspectos, han provocado no sólo una desconexión personal, sino también de pareja dando paso a que, de manera silenciosa, la monotonía se instale en su intimidad.

    Estudios internacionales confirman que 1 de cada 4 personas experimentan una disminución del deseo sexual, principalmente en relaciones largas. (B. Traeen et al.,2007), (T. Hällström et al., 1990). Un dato interesante es que la satisfacción sexual, que suele ser alta durante los primeros meses en un 83%, desciende hasta el 20% a partir del tercer año (Frederick et al.,2016).

    La disminución del deseo sexual afecta a ambos géneros; pero en términos binarios, las mujeres se ven más afectadas que los hombres (De Oliveira, et al., 2023) debido a una combinación de factores biológicos, hormonales, psicológicos, sociales e incluso relacionales.

    Al inicio de una relación, el deseo sexual suele fluir de manera totalmente espontánea entre otras cosas por la curiosidad, la novedad y la atracción que alimentan el llamado “deseo reactivo”, que no es más que una respuesta natural al estímulo de la pareja. Sin embargo, el impuso inicial tiende a disminuir con el paso del tiempo si no se cultiva activamente y puede convertirse en algo monótono. (S.H. Murray et al., 2017).

    Apagar el piloto automático y mantener viva la flama de la relación implica una conexión emocional y encuentros emocionantes. Y como el deseo sexual no se apaga para siempre, sino que se transforma y puede reavivarse, Platanomelón México, la marca líder en bienestar sexual,comparte algunas sugerencias para lograrlo, incluso después de años de convivencia:

    1. Comunícate: Descubre y comparte lo que te gusta con tu pareja.
    2. Sensualidad y Erotismo: Conéctate con tus sensaciones. Una sesión de caricias con los ojos vendados sin la presión de que termine en un acto sexual puede ayudar a enfocar la atención en las sensaciones y la conexión.
    3. Prueba Nuevas ideas: Date la oportunidad de experimentar sin juzgar, ya que saber lo que no te gusta abre el camino a lo que sí.
    4. Agenda Citas: Agenda tus encuentros sexuales para poder disfrutar con anticipación y asegurar tiempo de calidad para desconectar y activar los sentidos.
    5. Jugar te Une: Jugar con tu pareja fortalece la confianza, reduce las peleas y mejora la comunicación, creando cosas juntos. (McNichols N. 2024)

    Con el propósito de ofrecer herramientas para revitalizar la reconexión en pareja y mantener viva la flama de la relación, Plátanomelón México presenta “Hotel Inspiria” un calendario de adviento de edición limitada, totalmente experiencial diseñado por el equipo de sexólogas de la marca para, a través del juego, ayudar a las parejas a reconectar emocionalmente, recuperar la curiosidad y su vínculo íntimo con disfrute máximo.

    “El deseo se cultiva con presencia y complicidad. No se trata solo de sexo, sino de mirarse, escucharse y volver a descubrir lo que nos une. El juego es una poderosa herramienta para fortalecer esa conexión”, señaló Claudia Lobatón, sexóloga de Platanomelón México.

    Conceptualizado como un hotel sacado del universo de Wes Anderson, “Hotel Inspiria” incluye 24 experiencias diarias, cada una acompañada por La Llave Maestra, una llave que desbloquea experiencias y es una guía que además de acompañarte de principio a fin, ofrece retos y dinámicas sensoriales para reavivar la intimidad, el descubrimiento y la conexión.

    Hotel Inspiria” no es solo un calendario de adviento ya que cada día incluye un producto y un reto que ayudarán a aprender, probar, dejarse llevar y disfrutar en pareja con el acompañamiento de Platanomelón.

    * Estos productos junto con la guía de acompañamiento tienen un valor de $6,999, precio de venta $3,499

  7. Wretched – Decay Review

    By Dear Hollow

    Wretched has always been a strange beast, incorporating the heft of deathcore with the technicality and atmosphere of more progressive acts. While breakout album (and my introduction to the band) Beyond the Gate was an elegantly elegiac deathcore album, swaying between the patient sprawls of “Birthing Sloth” and the bouncy chugs of “My Carrion,” follow-ups Sons of Perdition and Cannibal reflected the changing of the guard at vocals, as Glass Casket frontman Adam Cody injected an unhinged frenetic energy that had the band flirting with grind and thrash. Decay is an important album, released eleven years after its predecessor and existing as a return to form for a band that never had a slump.

    While Cody injected the North Carolina act with a sense of urgency, the return of original vocalist Billy Powers returns Wretched to its more elegant and patient approaches. Although deathcore is on the bill, most of the proceeds recall The Black Dahlia Murder and Inferi rather than the Suicide Silences and Whitechapels of the world – landing somewhere in the core- and melo-realm of Vale of Pnath or early The Faceless.1 Yes, you’ll find some sticky chugs that punch through periodically, but the emphasis on the interplay between ominous and melodic shines brightest in Decay, reflecting a concept album that returns to the mythological roots as well as its musical roots – serving as a narrative prequel to the concept behind Beyond the Gate. Retaining that chthonic atmosphere, the balance between the light and dark and newfound experimentation are tantalizing, if imperfect, elements in the rebirth of Wretched.

    If Beyond the Gate was your favorite Wretched record, Decay is a welcome return. Waltz-like 6/8 timing, drawn-out passages collapsing into Steve Funderburk’s signature melodic cascades, and periodic breakdowns amid the elegiac, adding a necessary spike to the beautiful melodies. Powers’ vocals, as is the case in debut The Exodus of Anatomy and Beyond the Gate, can feel a bit jarring in their raspier tone and regularly impressive range (feeling asynchronous with the elegant instrumental musings) – but he delivers a charismatic performance that drives the music forward. The bookends of Decay find themselves in this realm, balancing melody with chunky bite and shifting tempos (“Decay,” “The Royal Body,” “Blackout”), while more aggressive rhythms and anthemic lyrics offer bouncy fun (“Malus Incarnate,” “The Golden Tide,” “The Golden Skyway”). While this range works, some tracks feel too rooted in the former, relying on overly long and uninteresting sprawls rooted in semi-heavy open strum patterns (“The Crimson Sky”). Taken as a whole, the first act can be a bit too heavy a mood-setter than a series of interesting songs, as well, due to Wretched’s more subdued approach.

    The centerpieces of Decay find Wretched tossing out the template and flipping off the comfort zone. Blessedly, the experimentation is not without an adequate transition, as its simultaneously most brutal and most melodic (“Radiance”) appears to move fluidly into the more experimental meat. Grungy clean vocals and wailing guitar solos move through an almost Southern-fried bluesy melodic template (“Clairvoyance”), a heavenly choral interlude gives rest before the journey (“The Mortal Line”), and the longest Wretched track in its discography: the sixteen-minute long “Behind the Glass”2 moves between moods of despair, forgiveness, and light through layers of guitar leads, violin, flutes, and even accordion, deteriorating into viciously dark chugs. This is capped off by an unsettling foray into dissonance and jagged rhythms (“Lights”), before returning to the more aggressive third act.

    At its worst, Wretched offers either dull shimmies of monotonous strums or a progressive edge so wild it can be disorienting. What’s remarkable, though, is that it nonetheless feels distinctly like Wretched, and a return to the mythological heyday of their sophomore effort – that flexibility has been a strength all along. Sure, Powers’ vocals can feel out of place in the gentler moments, some tracks don’t land, the heft is lacking, and the track list is shaped like an epic with weird-ass moments to shake you loose, but the band’s storytelling through its songwriting is well intact, if not better, than eleven years ago. It’s a welcome return to form for Wretched and speaks to avenues of possibility. The fifth full-length suggests more potential than it achieves but the moral is the same: ironically, no decay in sight.

  9. Steel Druhm’s Top Ten(ish) of 2025 By Steel Druhm

    First things first: 2025 was not what I consider a lodestar of great metal. I was much more miserly than usual with my high scores, and though there were a lot of albums I liked, there were not many I truly loved. I had fewer issues curating my Top Ten than usual, with a smaller pool of contenders jockeying for slots. That likely means 2026 will be an overwhelming pornocopia of metal goodness, as flat years are usually followed by market booms. Let’s hope the historic trends continue.

    On the AMG front, we had a great many seasoned staffers bow out and take time away from the site, which is always a sad event, but we got a healthy infusion of new blood, too. Hopefully, the blend of new and old will provide new perspectives, but it’s sure to result in some awful takes, too. We apologize for that in advance. Fear not, though, for I have it on good authority that a few long-absent writers will be making a shocking return in the new year.

    Personally, 2025 was my least productive year in a while as far as the sheer number of reviews churned out. This was mostly due to my taking on the enormous duties of promo sump management, which takes up a significant amount of time weekly. I’ve gotten faster and more efficient at the promo herding over the year, so I hope to push my review production back up to massive aggressive levels in 2026. I love this little blog, and I invest a lot of myself in it each day. It gives me peace and comfort through challenging times, and more importantly, it keeps me off the streets looking for seedy, low-rent metal blogs to write for.

    As I do every year, I want to extend a big thank you to all the readers who grace our pages, comment on our reviews, complain about scores, and generally raise a ruckus. We appreciate you, tolerate you, and continue to do our best to entertain you. Behind the scenes, though, we think you are a bunch of overrating, high-maintenance, diva do-nothings. Keep up the good work and tell your friends about us!

    I’d also like to thank all the old and new staff members and AMG Himself for their efforts to keep AMG the bastion of high opinions that it has become. It’s easy to suffer burnout here, and there are times when the words all seem to blur together, and it becomes a battle to formulate new ways to describe shitty, lo-fi death metal. There’s something highly satisfying about the work, though, and doing it with a bunch of lovable rejects makes it all the more so. We have a good group of misfits here, and though we bicker and argue, we love one another most of the time. Because of all this goodwill and affection, I hope none of them make me sabbaticalize them this year. The wood chipper is still clogged from last year’s bonanza of retirements, and I’m just too busy to take cadavers apart the old-fashioned way. Onward to new horizons we fly!

    #ish: Nite // Cult of the Serpent SunNite is a strange band that challenges me to look past some very one-dimensional vocals to find the beauty in their guitar-driven righteousness. The music they create is so perfectly in my wheelhouse, mixing the classic 80s sound of Mercyful Fate with the burly badassery of Grand Magus, then they slather their compositions with a blackened snarl that rarely shifts or adapts to the epic music. Sometimes it seems this choice holds them back from greatness, but I just kept returning to Cult of the Serpent Sun time and again in 2025. Songs like “Crow (Fear the Night),” “Carry On,” and “The Winds of Sokar” got spun to death this year, and the guitar work across the album is stellar and so metal it hurts. In a nutshell, I’m hooked on this weird little album despite the shortcomings in the vocal department. Give yourself to the Nite.

    #10. Disembodiment// Spiral Crypts – One of the death metal albums that really stuck to ribs this year, Spiral Crypts just wouldn’t unstick itself or go away. Disembodiment brings the OSDM hammer down on you with a stinky, putrid sound that rips organs from all the big names to create a shambling monstrosity all their own. It’s Incantation and Autopsy up front, with a vaguely Death-like prog sheen hidden in the back. Yet this won’t impress with techy wanking, because they’re too busy fucking cadavers and eating human flesh. Nasty first wins in the House of Steel, and this shit is gross but so listenable and entertaining. The riffs are slithery, slappy, and powerful, and those vocals are as much like an industrial garbage disposal as you can get without permanent throat disaster. Get yourself some unsanitary napkins and blast this filth really loud. It’s worth the revolting mess.

    #9. Helstar // The Devil’s Masquerade I grew up loving Helstar, and their Burning Star and Remnants of War albums were in constant rotation during my high school years. They’ve had an up-and-down career since 1989’s Nosterfatu, so them hitting their stride again in 2025 on The Devil’s Masquerade was a huge thrill for Yours Steely. Their textbook blend of US power metal and prog burns bright once more, with nods to thrash mixed in liberally for added asskickery as the guitars shred and impress. Vocal legend James Rivera still sounds enormous and powerful, and the songcraft is shockingly good and consistent. Certain moments scream classic Helstar while also hinting at Rivera’s criminally underrated Destiny’s End project, and there are several nods to prime Nevermore as well. The Devil’s Masquerade does the Helstar legacy proud, and it’s easily the best thing they’ve done since Nosferatu. Let this one in for a bite.

    #8. Brainstorm // Plague of RatsBrainstorm have been one of, if not the most reliable metal acts of the last few decades. Album after album brings a muscular, burly blend of classic metal and power, and time after time they kill it with massive anthems and sick hooks you just can’t shake. Plague of Rats follows the great Wall of Skulls and almost equals it in terms of memorable songs and metal magic. Andy B. Franck continues to be one of the best vocalists in all of metal, and when given tremendous songs to work with like “Garuda (Eater Of Snakes),” The Shepherd Girl (Gitavoginda),” and “Beyond Enemy Lines,” you get molten metal gold. The writing is rock solid with several Songs o’ the Year contenders, and the riffs and vocals are a thing of savage beauty. I love these guys more than I love red meat and hobo wine (almost).

    #7. Under Ruins // Age of the Void – Formed by members of the highly underappreciated Lansfear and the cheesy King Diamond wannabes, Them,1 Under Ruins bring a polished, super slick form of epic power metal to the party on their Age of the Void debut. What makes their sound so immediate for me is how it ranges from Manowar-esque chest-thumping anthems to massive epic metal like Atlantean Kodex, and on to old-timey prog metal akin to the early days of Fates Warning, with some other interesting stops along the way. It’s enough like Lansfear to hook me in, but Under Ruins operate with a much broader vision and scope. “Whispered Curses, Woe Unleashed” is my Song o’ the Year, full of melancholic emotion but still bringing the thunder in the way vintage Tad Morose and Pryamaze did. The chorus has been ringing through my head all year, and I can’t escape it. Nor should you. Get under these ruins.

    #6. Ambush // Evil in All Dimensions – When traditional and power metal are done properly, they can kick your ass and provide a massive jolt of fun at the same time. That’s exactly what Sweden’s Ambush does all over Evil in All Dimensions. Taking equal measurements of trad and power, they craft rip-roaring anthems to thunder, fire, steel, and make sure the hooks are plentiful. I defy you to blast the title track, “Maskirovka,” or “Bending the Steel” and not feel a rush of power in your veins. The riffs are pure 80s magic, and let me just mention Oskar Jacobsson’s vocals, because they are HUGE. This shit is 100% balls-to-the-walls energy; the songs have legs and demand repeat spins. This is one of the most infectious albums of 2025, and I think I may have underrated it a tad. Get your sack to the partition, pronto.

    #5. Anchorite // Realm of Ruin – Taking the classic doom template of Candlemass and Solitude Aeternus and injecting it with the burly machismo of trve metal usually works, and in the case of Anchorite’s Realm of Ruin, it works extra hard! Beefy riffs drive the material to epic heights as doomy harmonies decorate the war wagon. Over the top of it all, Leo Stivala delivers strident, commanding vocals to embiggen the spirit. Cuts like the massive “The Lighthouse Chronicles” merge Paradise Lost with Crypt Sermon and deliver emotional doom with a touch of Nevermore’s moody power. Standout “The Apostate’s Prayer” is a top moment of 2025, and Stivala soars to grand heights, carrying the listener along with him, and “Kingdom Undone” brings in a touch of power metal with grand results and a killer chorus. A surprisingly varied and nuanced album, and one of the top doom platters of the year.

    #4. Professor Emeritus // A Land Long GoneProfessor Emeritus may have one of the worst names in the metalverse, but their take on trve epic metal and doom more than make up for that oversight. A Land Long Gone is everything a fan of the trve genre could want, with big, bombastic compositions with hooks, bells, and whistles aplenty. This stuff brings the Manowar to the Candlemass recording session, with big loincloth energy adding to the slow-burning doom power. There are hints of Doomsword and Manilla Road along the road to high adventure, and everything is kept sword-friendly and mighty. “A Corpse’s Dream” is one of my favorite songs of the year, and I love the blending of styles they achieve, and “Zosimos” brings in copious Iron Maiden influences to bedazzle the Crypt Sermon-esque doom they deliver with aplomb. This is the kind of Professor I wish I had during my school years, so listen and learn!

    #3. Paradise Lost // Ascension – I’ve followed Paradise Lost since 1991s Gothic release, and I stuck with them until they became Depeche Lost circa 2000. I came back when they went metal again, and though none of their third-stage albums floored me, I liked them enough to keep buying what they sold. That pattern changed with Ascension, which is every bit as powerful, heavy, and vibrant as their glory days, while showing a maturity and sophistication even the classics lack. Let me just come out and say it: I underrated this album, and for that, I feel some degree of fault. Ascension plays like a grand tour of the varied Paradise Lost eras, but nothing ends up feeling recycled. “Serpent on the Cross” is a killer opener featuring everything I ever loved about the band, and cuts like “Tyrants Serenade” and “Salvation” are amongst the best songs of their long-running career. Where I originally felt like the back half of the album was less stellar, I’ve come to love the complete package, and I think this is among the best Paradise Lost albums. Olde dogs can still bite!

    #2. Fer De Lance // Fires on the Mountainside – Competing with Anchorite and Professor Emeritus for the best trve doom album of 2025, Fer De Lance brought the biggest sword to the warfield. Fires on the Mountainside has it all; massive trveness, battle-ready classic metal, nods to black and Viking metal, it’s all here and ready for action. Take one listen ot the mammoth title track, and you’ll accumulate more back hair in 7 minutes than you did in all of 2025 as the music takes you from Crypt Sermon-esque classic doom on through Hammerheart era Bathory with touches of folk along the way.2 This is music for heroes who laugh in the face of death. When the black metal element comes forward, you get gems like “Ravens Fly (Dreams of Daidalos),” and when they dial down to the epic doom side, you get monsters like “Death Thrives (Where Walls Divide)” where vocal maniac MP Papai goes all in, and channels Lost Horizon’s Daniel Heiman. If you spin this thing and don’t gain 2 inches on your biceps, you have Chronic Untrveness Disorder.

    #1. Structure // Heritage – In a year when I was merely whelmed by much of what I heard, Structure came out of nowhere to drop an industrial earth mover of atmospheric doom on my life. The brainchild of Bram Bijlhout (ex-Officium Triste), Heritage finds him delivering a massive treatise on emotionally harrowing sadness and grief, aided by the killer vocals of Pim Blankenstein (Officium Triste, ex-The 11th Hour). Over the 50 minutes of Heritage, the duo drag you to the heart of sadness, loss, and despair as only thoughtful, well-executed doom can. Yet there are faint rays of light and hope in the inky black, mostly in the form of Bram’s beautiful, delicate guitar work, which weaves ethereal magic through the dour, downtrodden material. Heritage is a very dark album, but it’s rife with genuine beauty too, just as life often is. I’ve spun this thing more than any other 2025 release, and it keeps calling me back to its black womb. There’s something truly special here, and you shouldn’t miss out on experiencing it. This is your Heritage now.

    Honorable Mentions:

    • An Tóramh // Echoes of Eternal Night – Massive, crushing funereary doom with a great sense of atmosphere
    • Phobocosm // Gateway – One of the best slabs of oppressive cavern-core death metal you’ll be squished by this year
    • Plasmodulated // An Ocean ov Putrid, Stinky, Vile, Disgusting Hell – One of the oddest and endearing death metal albums of late
    • Depravity // Bestial Possession – Brutal, blasting, splatterifying death metal that cannot be contained or reasoned with
    • Diabolizer // Murderous Revelations – Fast, brutal, burly death metal that gives no fucks as it activates your dental plan
    • Guts // Nightmare Fuel – Groove-heavy death metal with big stoner rock vibes should not work, but it does here
    • Black Soul Horde // Symphony of Chaos – Epic heavy/power metal with more hooks than the local meat packery run by I. M. Pinhead
    • Starlight Ritual // Rogue Angels – Imagine Lemmy joined Di’Anno era Iron Maiden and wrote some epic shit
    • Amorphis // BorderlandsAmorphis return to form in a fan service release full of hooks and classic Amorphy moments
    • Wytch Hazel // V: Lamentations – Maybe not their best album, but you can’t escape the ear glue of their NWoBHM meets 70s prog rock style

    Triumph o’ the Year:

    Our little blogworks received a glowing mention in none other than Rolling Stone Magazine, and no one was more surprised than we here at AMG International. It’s nice to see our efforts getting noticed, even in the world of professional music journalism, which we don’t discuss with fans.

    Tragedy o’ the Year:

    The passing of Ozzy Osbourne. We all knew it was coming, but not this soon. I didn’t expect it to hit me quite as hard as it did, or for the feeling of loss to linger as long as it has. This marks the definitive end of an era and the loss of a Founding Father of metal without peer. At least he went out the way he wanted: with a loud bang and crash. Have a glorious journey into eternity, Ozzman. You will always be missed.

    Song(s) o’ the Year:

    Under Ruins – “Whispered Curses, Woe Unleashed” – Massive epic goodness with big emotions.

    

    Brainstorm – “The Shepherd Girl (Gitavoginda)” – So damn metal it gives me an iron hangover.

    

     

    Disappointment o’ the Year:

    Dark Angel // Extinction Level Event – What a prophetic album title this was, eh? After 1991s Time Does Not Heal, Dark Angel promised a new album. They promised it while I was in college, then grad school, then law school, during my first marriage, after my divorce, and over the next several decades. When they finally deliver something, and it’s the equivalent of third-rate re-thrash with only vague nods to their original sound, calling it disappointing doesn’t begin to cover it. We received the promo for Extinction Level Event in time to review it, and I was eager to do the job. After one listen, however, I realized the public was going to brutally savage this thing, and I didn’t see the point in adding another head stomp to a band I grew up worshipping. This is now the primary example of why it’s best to leave a legacy safely in the past, where it can live evergreen.

  11. #Muttertag:

    "Die #Ursprünge des Muttertags lassen sich bis zu den #Verehrungsritualen der #Göttin #Rhea im antiken #Griechenland und [...] #Rom zurückverfolgen.

    Der Muttertag in seiner heutigen Form wurde in der #englischen und #US-#amerikanischen #Frauenbewegung geprägt. [...]

    In #Deutschland wurde der Muttertag 1922/1923 vom Verband Deutscher #Blumengeschäftsinhaber mit Plakaten „Ehret die Mutter“ in den Schaufenstern etabliert und – betont unpolitisch – als Tag der #Blumenwünsche gefeiert. [...]

    Während der Zeit des #Nationalsozialismus wurde die #Feier des Muttertags [...] wurde der Muttertag zum öffentlichen Feiertag erklärt" (Quelle: Wikipedia)

    DIe Nazis haben den Muttertag also nicht erfunden, sondern der Frauenbewegung "entrissen" und ihn missbraucht. Wenn heute liebende Mütter gefeiert werden, ist das also ein #feministischer Akt.

    In diesem Sinne: Alles Gute zum Muttertag, liebe Mamas!
  12. #usedbooks #bookstodon
    although i would like to collect older editions: this book closes my short journey to the original novels of dr. mabuse by Jacques. these stories are kind of experiments or drafts, which Jacques worked out to see, if there is anything to tell about the doctor.

  13. #bookstodon #usedbooks
    Jacques made 1912 indeed a travel up the yangtze stream. ten years later and after the success of dr. mabuse he wrote this "Reisebuch".
    i just started it -- still curious

  14. Yesterday, I wrote a long thread about returning to full-time work after a long health-related break and then accidentally deleted it. Wh🥲😅ps!
    The TL;DR is, 2 weeks ago, I joined the Centre for Language Evolution Studies #CLES at #NicolausCopernicusUni in Toruń 🇵🇱. As someone who roughly identifies as Baltic/Hanseatic Nordic European, I couldn't be happier to be back in a Hanseatic town that looks like my hometown by the sea (the river almost feels like it too)!
    The brick gothic architecture is something I've really missed. The Collegium Maius, where I work almost looks like my highschool!

  17. While working on the basic moves of my #pbta #ttrpg I hit a wall cause I needed to know how to calculate in-world costs...

    So I spent two days researching #Mycenaean economics and #Homeric gift-giving in order to then write a two page guide for Land of Myth: Age of Palaces

  18. I've been working on the #Homeric moves for my #pbta #ttrpg

    It led me down a fascinating rabbit hole about money in #Mycenaean Greece.

    I'd done some reading before, but I just found a very nice article* and took a nice dive into Linear B tablets from the palace of Pylos and the commodities used in the Late #BronzeAge exchange economy.
