Panama City’s AlphaWhores return with You Can Come Out Now—a stoner- doom- fever dream laced with bruising riffs, twisted melodies, and just enough weird to keep you hooked. T-Rex Masseuse? Still stomping. Verdict: very, very good Quibble: Is exactly 3 songs too long. #metalsky #metal #doommetalsky

@amiintrouble.bsky.social 2nd pressing in Pink Kirby Vinyl is still available but won't be around for long. Don't Miss Out!!! #metalsky #blackmetalsky

trapped in a van down by the river sludge. doing bong hits to Flipper sludge. Can't stand up straight because you might puke sludge. When DIY punk is too hard sludge. The rub it all over yourself, but fall asleep before you wipe up sludge. This is the one. #metalsky

Under the Spell is what happens when you raid your dad’s NWOBHM vinyls, shotgun a pint of absinthe, and scream into a cassette recorder. Blackened speed metal with all the subtlety of a brick through a stained glass window. Play real loud, drive real fast. 🕯️🇬🇧 #Metal

Through the Endless is a haunting, wordless journey through shadow and shimmer—each instrumental track a meditation on impermanence. Sparse yet immersive, it feels like wandering through a dream you’re not sure you want to wake from. Quibble-for casuals it could get samey #metalsky

TFBA is a glacial exhale of post-metal catharsis—six tracks that shimmer with tension, then rupture like thawing ice. It’s a study in restraint and release, where distortion becomes devotion. A debut that breathes grief and grace in equal measure. Good stuff #metalsky

The Finns bring a power- vibe to metal while sneaking in bits of retro via Queensryche, Bad Company, and Journey. Fun, if not life changing. Quibble-a little over processed - needs a little more for swagger. #metalsky

Kin is a scorched-earth sermon wrapped in fuzz and fire. There’s raw power in tracks like “Sunburner” and “Hang Me Out (False Sun),” but some moments feel like sketches of bigger storms—haunting in their incompleteness. Still, the echoes linger. #metalsky

If you gotta neo-prog, a superior selection is definitely Space Revolver by The Flower Kings. It doesn’t wallow in needless neo-prog noodling with Jazz bits and cool guitar work. #prog #rock

It’s what’s jamming on the box. OSDM - splash guards out - bring scissors! #metalsky #metal #deathmetalsky

This afternoon's carnage: Jade - Mysteries of a Flowery Dream

🔥 STS delivers a satanic death metal onslaught with The Carnage Cast Shadows. In-the-pocket vocals lock in tight, solid change-ups keep the momentum fresh, but letting the riffs breathe longer and pushing the bass forward could elevate the menace even more. 💀 #DeathMetalSky #metalsky #metal

Ondfødt delivers pure Finnish fire with Dimsvall—blistering riffs, haunting melodies, and the weight of an eternal winter. Black metal done well with a touch of atmos- and vengence. #metalsky #blackmetalsky #metal

🔥 Blood Expectoration’s Mortality Blast is a relentless assault—feral riffs, gut-churning vocal growls, and an undercurrent of existential dread. Every track pulses with raw energy, dragging you through the deep, cold void. Best listened to at full volume. 💀🎸 #metalsky #deathmetalsky

but life's not a wheel with chains made of steel... so bless me...

so yeah, it's an RJD in Rainbow kind of afternoon. 'Kill the King!' first up on deck. #metal #metalsky

The Elven's "Solstice" features a supergroup pedigree (Saturna, Earthless), which births pure magic. Forget comparisons, this album's poignant soul & bluesy heartland rock will floor you—instant classic incoming. Prepare to be moved. ✨ #TheElven #Solstice #Supergroup #HeavyRock #Psych #NewMusic

Good crunch death- from Iron Fortress. Two songs here... a full album to come. #metalsky #deathmetalsky

The debut Fifth Angel album from 1986. Probably not available anywhere to stream. Still good stuff for melo-heavy way back in the day. #metalsky #metal

Saw these guys open for Aerosmith on the Done With Mirrors tour. Long forgotten, but hey, that’s Tommy Thayer on guitar, who went on to double Ace in KISS. #metalsky #glammetalsky #metal

Perfectly serviceable heavy rock. One can certainly detect that the diligent chaps have put in the hours. However, one does rather yearn for a calling card, if you will. Still, if one finds oneself with a hankering for some amplified strumming, one could do worse. 3 out of 5 teacups. #metalsky

Despite the tumble dryer over a cliff mix, the Greeks deliver the goods more often than not. FFO of anything with a blaring symphony. #metalsky #metal music.apple.com/us/album/the...

Retro, heavy, stoner, desert, rock it's all the good words. Dig it! #metal #metalsky #stonermetalsky

Revving riffs, biker grit, & stoner metal mayhem—The Death Wheelers' The Ecstasy of Möld is a sonic ride through dystopian highways & cult cinema vibes. A must-hear for fans of Motörhead & midnight movie madness. 🏍️🔥 #StonerMetalSky #Metal #metalsky

The Danes are back! KADAVERMARCH’s self-titled album delivers heavy rock bangers, metal twists, & heartfelt ballads. Bold, unpredictable, & packed with hooks, stellar musicianship, & signature harmonies. A non-linear triumph. ⚡🎶 #metalsky #stonermetalsky kadavermarch.bandcamp.com/album/kadave...

ZÅLOMON GRASS takes bluesy retro rock to cosmic heights with Trouble in Time. A high-spirited journey through vintage vibes and soulful passion, it's a must-listen for heavy underground fans. They've only flourished since their initial E.P. — this is next-level artistry! #metalsky #stonermetalsky

It's black- and doom-. It's the claustrophobia of being mistakenly locked in Arkham Asylum. It's the clawing, crawling, creeping doom. It's the cry for release from down the hospital corridor. It's I'Voidhanger. Bring scissors. #metalsky #metal #blackmetalsky

ryr return with a post- doom- release that is actually post-! amazing! this is a solid follow-on from the last album that rated fairly high in the post- stakes. If they ever do attach vocals - no banshee vocals flitting from side to side please. #metalsky

Purposely provocative and a lot of fun, Handgemeng turn in the hard rock pick of the week, tossing out blackened glam rock with a touch of retro, stoner, and a whole bunch of snot-nose punk. Grab some buds and tuck in! @music_ripple #metal #metalsky #punk #retro

a solid follow-up to 2022's Diversum. If you liked that one, you know where you're headed with this one and that you want to go in the front of the wagon. Only quibble - drop the "prog-" and go heavier into the pagan. #metalsky

another fine drop from Messa. Female fronted doom- rock- retro- but in the cool late 80s/early 90s euro way and not a stupid way. It may be the overall pick of the week! Check this out. #metal #metalsky #doommetalsky

a third in the lumbering majesty of NM. Drone- fusion- avant- ambient- funeral- jazz- post- doom- death- black- it goes in all these directions for a vibe experience of the highest order. This is the stuff from I'Voidhanger. Bring Scissors. #metalsky #metal

was in an accident - not my fault - no car now - brain woozy - body aching... so I'm listening to Nightstalker while I sober up. It's a rockin' good thing. #metalsky #metal #stonermetalsky

Solid comp from Ritual King's first two albums. Stoner- psych- bong- retro- blackout- it's like that... #metal #metalsky ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/future...

Get Well Soon is stoner- tropes through modern variety—gritty riffs, soaring vocals, and raw emotion. A cathartic pathworking through resilience and reflection, proving the power of music to kick your face in with awesomeness. Don't miss this gem. 🎶 #metalsky #stonermetalsky #metal

death- for the times you're in the truck between deliveries. #metalsky #metal

Quality melo-death dropped here—razor-sharp riffs, soaring solos, and haunting orchestration. A visceral journey through betrayal, isolation, and triumph. In for some amazing drum work? This one's for you. #metalsky #deathmetalsky

punishing tech death or a thousand bouncy balls in a dryer going over a cliff? #metalsky

Death- for delivering UPS packages. #metalsky

If you don't follow Kmann, do you even Metal, bro? #metalsky #metal

In the mornin', you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water And you fire 'til he is done in, but they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin', and they put you on the street You go back, Jack, do it again...

stoner- retro- metal- it's all here. maybe a little tropey, but hey, it's alright. #metal #metalsky #stonermetalsky music.apple.com/us/album/syn...

Year of the Cobra - female-fronted doomy, stoner bass-down-your-throat heaviness sure to replace Ghost in your mythology. Dig this! #metalsky #stonermetalsky #metal music.apple.com/us/album/yea...

Speaking of pot-smoking music, this morning is starting with V from Naxatras. psych- stoner- heavy- but with a modern lean. It has the tropes, but it doesn't wallow in it. #stonermetalsky #metalsky #metal music.apple.com/us/album/v/1...

From way back in the day. I was playing the Turtle Fest in Palm Bay with one of my bands, Stargazing Ant Farm (cheerfully labeled by a club owner as 'pot smoking music'). That’s my favorite bass - a Peavy tobacco burst rosewood fretless. I played that thing to death. #metal #heavy #stonermetalsky

a lean and mean brand new SG from Total Entertainment in Daytona Beach... oh yes, my precious...

Symbiotic Growth's Beyond the Sleepless Aether is a haunting journey through existential dread and multiverse dreams. Dark, experimental, and synth-heavy, it blends raw emotion with technical mastery. Fans of Ne Obliviscaris & Gojira, this one's for you. 🌌 #ProgMetal #NewMusic #metalsky #metal

Some cool female-fronted retro-heavy- stoner- grindhouse- rock that will leave you by the side of the road in Guadalhara hands bound with zip ties. Bring scissors... #metalsky #metal music.apple.com/us/album/the...

Judicator's Concord explores American identity through power metal. From the haunting echoes of 'Imperial' to the anthemic 'Call Us Out of Slumber,' it's a journey through the American West that hits hard and stays with you. Good stuff! #Metal #Metalsky
