No worries - and (unusually for them) they're right 🤘🏻

I'm guessing you already know you guys got a shout out on Metal injection?

I now need a 'Fuck you, it's Billy Cobham' t-shirt.

Tormentor Tyrant - Excessive Escalation of Cruelty Listen to Excessive Escalation of Cruelty on TIDAL

Cytotoxin is solid, Diabolizer is every bit as good as I'd hoped it would be, but Messa have blown me away, fantastic record.

This is what a band evolving while remaining true to themselves looks like, fantastic record.

Turned 50 almost three years ago and can confirm this direction of travel for skin continues unabated 👍🏻

Same, insane from start to finish.

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

I've been assured it is, of the highest order (although knowing those two, I'm probably being punk'd). Seriously, though, that's fucking stunning, love it.

That, as my boys would say, is dank (never thought I'd be too old to be confused by 'young people' speak, but here I am).

Thank you, needed something to make me laugh out loud today 😂

Feels like they've let a bit more light in, normally something that would turn me off, but I'm really liking it. Same for the new Allegaeon, a band I've struggled to connect with in the past, but that's hit the spot today. Go figure 🤷🏼‍♂️

That sucks, mate. I'm really sorry for your loss. They don't tell you the worst thing about getting older is watching those close to you pass one by one. Hope you recover from the NV swiftly. And although no laughing matter, your riposte to the soulless POS libtard still has me laughing. 👊🏻🤘🏻

Funny enough, I only got round to ordering a vinyl copy a few weeks ago, and it arrived this week with a lovely handwritten note from the band. They're playing London in May, will try to check them out.

Great record and with you on the vocals - absolutely unhinged, in the best possible way.

Buried Deep In The Heart, by Herzschlager 6 track album

Bit disappointed we didn't get any press for this but I guess that's the risk with doing shit DIY

Anyway, get punked

I'm sorry, that sucks. I hope you're able to rest and recharge in the way that helps you best.

Amen. FFS, with all the shit raining down in the world, let people be to just enjoy what they like and go do that 'too cool for school' shit in front of your bedroom mirror.

Although 8 minutes long it feels like 3. My autistic ass is terrible at picking up influences but I hear a little AJFA period Metallica (but the mix on the instruments, especially bass, is clearer 😉), bit of classic metal, even a nudge towards DM here and there. Love it.

Will check them all out, cheers 🙂

These guys have completely passed me by, and although my tastes tend towards the more abrasive and caveman, this is hitting home in a way the more mellifluous stuff rarely does. Thank you for the rec 🤘🏻 Looks like Discogs is about to get a hammering...

Good shout, really enjoying this.

Conscious that could have come across as mansplaining, which I apologise for 🙏🏻

I love this. First I laughed out loud. Then I realised how fucking insanely, dementedly awesome it would be.

Knowing Alex's politics, I think you can listen safe in the knowledge it's not a celebration.

Yeah, that's 🔥

If the whole "original lineup, one final time" was so important, why was Bill fucked over during the "The End" shenanigans. I love that band, they're literally responsible for the art form that has sustained me throughout my life, but this makes me feel uncomfortable. Plus, Pantera?? Fuck that nazi.
