Call me late to this party! Love the band, loved their original Traveller album, but just #lastyear this sequel quietly came out. And I'm finally listening to it having stumbled on it in their #Bandcamp!

[Traveller] The Lord Weird Slough Feg – Traveller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdyaBu5nge0&list=PLLD8tmFAuglok24oZSdFAPC7zvj40kjDE
In 2003 The Lord Weird Slough Feg (they later shortened the name to just Slough Feg) released a concept album based on Traveller of all things. This was way after the star of Traveller as an RPG property had gone down and before it rose again. From what I remember the early 2000s were not really great for the game, so this seems to have been rooted their appreciation of the game.
It’s a bit too metal for my taste. Not that it’s bad, but it doesn’t quite fit with what I would connect with Traveller as a game. Also as nice as it is to have a musical version of Traveller, the lyrics are somewhat… debatable…
I am a space pirate, you know my name
Asteroid mining is a dangerous game
Imperial navy can’t keep up my pace
Chasing a rock into Zhodani space
You heard about me in the frontier wars
Psionic menace carrying alien sporesStill, this exists. So there’s that.

The Lord Weird Slough Feg shredded as always. New opening set. Headhunters into Sky Chariots. Stoked.
Mike Scalzi was actively fighting food poisoning on stage and kept disappearing to 💀. Rest of the band held the line.
Shorter set due to periodically losing their lead. Mike Scalzi was a trooper and fought through it. #HeavyMetal #SloughFeg #KeepItTrue
