Doing my tax return and listening to Gojira's The Way of All Flesh.
Death and taxes in the one place. Seems right.
-
I quite like Meshuggah, and this video.
My co-worker loves the TV series Severance.
I had not seen Severance, and I did not know that this was an edit of a scene from it until I read the comments recently.
My co-worker had never heard of Meshuggah until I sent him this.
Long story short: I'm watching Severance this week, and today I listened to ObZen.

The 70s and 80s are back, baby! *
Ram have a new album coming out in October. (I have to listen to some of their catalogue before then.)

Everything today was lava - or, more accurately, Magma.

Today in metal school, we studied Fortitude, by Gojira.
Very good, I enjoyed it a lot. Why didn't anyone recommend this album to me? (Probably nearly everyone did, specifically or Gojira in general.)
-
Monday afterrnoon is a good time to try Mastodon - Leviathan.
I think this one is going to grow on me. 🐋
Best metal album of the 21st century? May take a few more listens before I can form a view about that.

Inspired by our new club member @InnerSanctvm333, it's time to try Bolt Thrower on my way home from work.

I've heard a lot about Devin Townsend and Strapping Young Lad over the years, so today is a good day hear from them directly.
Heading home from work with
💿 Heavy As a Really Heavy Thing -
At #MetalSchool today, we are studying Slipknot's debut album.
Thank you to @Kitty and @HailsandAles for encouraging / reminding me to give it a crack.
There's a lot going on there, but you have to keep nine chaps busy, I suppose.

Down a djent rabbit hole today after @m1rk0 recommended MetaVoid to me.
That took me to the thall tag on Bandcamp and I followed that to False God, a one-person project from Ukraine. Some of it sounds a bit technical-for-its-own-sake, but I enjoyed it overall.
Apart from the link to djent, I had no idea what thall was in the vast metal sub-genre galaxy. I know a little bit more now, but I need to do more work before the exam.

Time to try out the new Neurosis album today after @tomroberts and @Kitty were talking about it on Sunday. I knew nothing about the band's past work or recent challenges, so this was a real #MetalSchool assignment for me.
It was pleasant enough, if that's the word. But it will take me a few listens to really decide what I think.
An Undying Love For A Burning World - Neurosis

I've had Wolves In The Throne Room on my list ever since I saw that photo of a sausage dog wearing a denim battle vest with their patch across its back.
This was very nice, and not what I was expecting - but it does seem to be unusual in their catalogue.
A Looming Resonance - WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM

Biggest surprise on the Coroner album was the jazzy Hammond organ-style keyboard on the final track Prolonging.
Did I say it's such a good album?
I need to take their first five albums to #MetalSchool.

First real listen to Lamb Of God tonight,* after I heard Fit For An Autopsy's cover of this song.
It blew me away, I have to say, so clearly I have my work cut out for me over our summer.
Also, you know you're dating a metal musician when he writes you a sweet song like this.
Also Pt. 2, I swear there's a flash of my home city in the opening montage.
Lamb Of God - Walk With Me In Hell

* Yes, I know, what sort of metalhead hasn't heard etc etc. 😔

Trying out Fit For An Autopsy while I clean up for the next phase of exam revision. I enjoyed the set by a local deathcore act earlier this year, so the timing might be good.
(And they're playing here in two months' time, in case I'm tempted.)
-
Update: Tim listened to Lorna Shore with headphones.
The synth is still (too?) high in the mix but, dear reader, it blew Tim's tiny mind.
😳
-
The references to Slipknot influences on the new Orbit Culture album remind me that the whole Slipknot /Korn / Linkin Park era passed me by entirely, and I don't think I've listened to any of them, not that I'm aware of at any rate.
I'll have to do something about that I think.
-
Trip home today with a tasting platter of In Flames and At The Gates.
I need to listen to more of their music, but from early impressions, I'm suspecting it may not be my scene. But many bands have fans of particular albums or periods, so I'll keep going.

Looking forward to seeing local band Valhalore live tomorrow night. Symphonic folk metal with a touch of melodic death, power metal and Viking (sub-genre bingo!). Metal with folk flutes, tin whistle, synth, cello - it's all there.
I'm not really familiar with their work, but my daughter convinced us to go with her, so I expect it will be fun.
My homework for #MetalSchool tonight is this:
Beyond The Stars from Valhalore

After last night's Metal School lesson on the new single from Orbit Culture, my homework was to listen to Descent, from 2023.
I never lose the exhilaration of listening to a good metal album for the first time.

Just when I want to dislike algorithms (again), they deliver me this. A riff to drill holes in your head - in a good way.

Just recently I was thinking I should remedy my lack of familiarity with Machine Head, then they release a new song.

Random metal selection for a first listen on the way home. Black and a bit thrashy, sounds good.
(And these black metal acts really don't play well with others, do they? All these one-person bands.)
Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags from Hellripper

Good walk tonight and a chance to listen to a random album from a random band I'd never heard before. This time it was Unleash the Archers, with Abyss.
Some power metal starts to sound same-y to me after a few songs, but there was enough going on in these songs to make it a good pairing with a walk at dusk while the fruit bats squabbled and swooped out of the trees above. 🤘 🦇
