Monster cabbage! Birsay gardener spills the beans - #Orkney

A colossal #cabbage which would — quite literally — bowl over the competition at any #horticultural show, has sprouted in a West Mainland #polytunnel.

Joan Mowat has been left to wonder whether there is something in the air — or perhaps the soil — in her #Birsay #garden, after growing the #monstrous #vegetable.

Unfortunately for this review, I have not been ravaged by the Yeti before. But if it’s anything like what happens when you make one too many White Wizzard jokes around Steel Druhm, then it must be a ruthless and altogether ungraceful experience. If so, then Sweden’s Ravaged by the Yeti do the experience justice. Yet another project of guitarist/vocalist Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Ribspreader, among many, many others), Ravaged by the Yeti first unleashed their Yeti-themed grind-infused death metal on 2023’s Apex Predator. In 2026, they return with a fresh lineup of Johansson, bassist Mike Borders (ex-Massacre), and drummer Jon Rudin (Monstrous). Snowbound Horror promises savagery, plain and simple. Can Ravaged by the Yeti’s simulacrum of their namesake act prove as memorable as the real deal?

Ravaged by the Yeti do one thing on Snowbound Horror, and that’s spill guts out over the snow. Not their guts, mind you; there’s nothing confessional about this. Through Johansson’s gore-slathered growls, Ravaged by the Yeti treat their listeners to one blood-soaked scene to the next. Himalayan explorers are ripped to pieces (“By the Hand of the Beast”), reduced to slurry (“Human Spoil”), and stuffed in the Abominable Snowman’s freezer (“Frozen Stiff”) before all’s said and done on Snowbound Horror. These savage snippets are captured through Ravaged by the Yeti’s commitment to icy, no-frills death metal. Songs like “Vengeance in Fur” and “Death by Icicle” flex big riffs and punchy kicks while never letting up on the bludgeonings. If you only want a heaping helping of violence out of your death metal, or if Frozen Soul’s latest has you hankering for more cold, Ravaged by the Yeti have you covered with Snowbound Horror.

Snowbound Horror lives off meat-headed riffcraft. Raiding Bolt Thrower’s arsenal of heavy groove ordnance, songs like “As Fangs Go Deep,” “Beast Prey,” and “Snowbound Horror” bash and rumble with bestial, straightforward aggression. Apex Predator’s grind influence largely takes a backseat to this death-groove on Snowbound Horror, but songs like “By the Hand of the Beast” and “Tusk of the Yeti” maintain grind’s speed and serrated assault. It helps that Ravaged by the Yeti sport drums with adequate thump and snap to them, a surprisingly dynamic mix, and a guitar tone thick and wet as carrion. Between the riffs and growls, rudimentary guitar leads spring up from time to time (“Human Spoil,” “They Came through the Cold”) along with the occasional slick drum fill (“Tusk of the Yeti”). By now, Johansson can probably write respectable death riffs in his sleep, and Ravaged by the Yeti doesn’t disappoint in this regard.

What does disappoint about Snowbound Horror, however, is its one-note quality. Obviously, Ravaged by the Yeti’s explicit theming limits their creative scope, but Snowbound Horror utilizes too few basic riff shapes and compositions to stay fresh. “Beast Prey” opens with a riff far too similar to the preceding “As Fangs Go Deep”‘s opening riff, and the few solo-esque leads across Snowbound Horror all sit too closely on the same part of the neck. Only “They Came through the Cold” sticks out upon repeat listens, as Ravaged by the Yeti employ a smidge more melody and storytelling focus on this particular tale of terror. For the most part, what could be said about any one song on Snowbound Horror could be just as applicable to any other song. What Ravaged by the Yeti do is fun, but with a very limited set of tools stretched across thirty-five minutes, Snowbound Horror’s grizzly cheek runs cold by the time “Land of Ice and Snow” closes out.

Ravaged by the Yeti’s Snowbound Horror is more enjoyable than an actual ravaging by the Yeti, but not quite as memorable. It’s a lot more fun than the rating below might suggest, but it would be dishonest of me to say it hasn’t run thin after several listens. If you value gore and grit above all in your death metal, Ravaged by the Yeti might be your picnic. But as a whole artistic package, Snowbound Horror goes by in a blur, hitting hard during its time but leaving little impact in its wake. When I get mangled and masticated by a cryptid, that’s not the story I want to share afterwards.

OK, I'm officially tired of this! A senile billionaire wants Indians to #work 70 hrs/week to make India no.1.

FYI, the way to grow a country is by injecting more cash into its economy. How? Employ more people and pay better wages. Meanwhile, this man wants people to work 75% extra on a salary that hasn't grown since 2005 and denying jobs to the unemployed. The only thing growing here is his own bank account.

Peddling greed under a veil of #patriotism to overworked people is just #monstrous!
