Almost as if not being a bunch of cowards and actually protesting your government acheives things

THE GRAVES WE HOLD INSIDE by GRIEF CATHEDRAL This one really surpassed my expectations. Debut ep from Kentucky funeral doom band. They pummel you with these slow plodding riffs but interwoven with divine almost Tori Amos like piano passages.

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM? by GALACTIC COWBOYS Been listening for 35 years. They are not as thrashy as they were in their youth but time has earned them cohesiveness. The songs are tight and each gets your toes tapping while delivering a thematic message. Welcome back Cowboys

You may not like them. Been a minute since I can recall a band trying to have an impact like this

This songs freaking crushes my skull "Vanitas" by Suffocate the Skies open.spotify.com/track/7fSCA…

ESTUARY by WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM Legendary USBM band. Incredible album. Saw a review say it sounds windswept and it fits. A bit older in style stripped of most of their folkier elements and almost hypnotic in spots The nature reclaiming Earth theme fits their style so well

FROM THE DARK by IOMMI Sabbath's guitarist releases his first solo album in 2 decades. Its very doomy of course and leans more to his Dio/Martin sound than the Oz years. Jorn Lande is a great singer who carries these songs well. Will I go back often? Ehh but its a great listen

FAVORITE ALBUMS EXCERPTS FROM A FUTURE PAST by HALLAS I would tell you I dont like prog so the fact that these Swedish prog wizards are a favorite says something. Hints of Yes, Genesis, Wishbone Ash, etc all wrapped in a story of a mystical medieval world

I think I walked myself into running our Winter Disc Golf League today. Bad habit of being an organizer who gets looped into these things. 7 teams at 7 courses. We play a round of match and a round of doubles. Rain, shine, 3 feet of snow, 15 degrees. Were out there

FAVORITE ALBUMS THE SATANIST by BEHEMOTH While I was always into extreme metal perhaps no album kindled a journey down the rabbit hole more than this one. It sounds so massive like the forces of hell itself opening up

"Your company has decided that the company treated you fairly"

FAVORITE ALBUMS BRAINCHILD by CIRCLE OF DUST Industrialized thrash metal. Originally a side project since rereleased as a CoD album. They were unique because they weren't trying be another NIN and he makes great use of audio sampling to build sonic layers

BLOOD THAT I SPILL ... by FIREBREATHER Swedish doom band. In a year with a lot of good doom releases this still managed to stand out. Fuzzy ala Monolord or similar. By the end of this I had stopped what I was doing listen and thats not common

Been a lil over a month since I played in a disc golf tourney. Weather looks nice. Feeling good right now. Tourney scene is dead. Played all 4 years. First time field not only not full its only half

THE LIGHT THAT KEEPS US by MOTHER OF GRAVES People will be taking about this one for a good while. In the world of doom this is as good as it gets. These songs are layered and artfully constructed. The mood of the music flows so well with the sorrow of the lyrics.

Wife and I walked around the neighborhood a bit. Went to the Museum of Illusions. It was pretty cool if a bit brief. Ended up eating Navratan Korma at the place where I first discovered Indian food a frw decades back

I'm not trying to crack on a guy but what happened to Jake Monn at the DGPT Powerball Cup?
