What is the soundtrack to being up to support a deployment on your first day back from a week off? Definitely Dödsrit. Nocturnal Will, Baby. #metalsky

Little atmoblack today worth a listen. Unviâr - Didglaç #blackmetalsky #metalsky unviar.bandcamp.com/album/disgla

Levi the cat eyed up the tree but in the end settled for the box.

Happy American Thanksgiving to my Bluesky Friends. I am thankful for the interactions we have and the music and stories we share here.

As a complication from our house clean out project, some music equipment was staged in the garage, and my wife accidentally ran over my 25 year old SM-57. In a development that will shock no one who works in music, the microphone is fine, barely a scratch on it. We should probably check the car 😅

Listening tonight to Burnt Lodge’s 2024 album Intergenerational Abamnesis. What a fantastic USBM album that hits hard against colonialism and plays with extremely heavy but well produced black metal with just enough atmospherics. # #blackmetalsky burntlodge.bandcamp.com/album/interg...

I’m starting the Bring Back Johan Liiva movement.

I hope there is a new circle in hell for people who comment, “Well I just make my own <whatever>,” on posts about goods being tariffed. Bonus pokes when it’s something labor/resource intensive or inaccessible.

Who wants cookies?

Super pumped.

Pretty sure at this point Lamp of Murmuur is going to have the unique distinction of being my album of the year and having vocals I really can’t stand. Sounds like Galder eating a sock. Goddamn it’s a great album though. #metalsky #blackmetalsky lampofmurmuur.bandcamp.com/album/the-dr...

Badly missing context, here is my map of every “North American” tour #metalsky

Hategate is still a dumb song name though.

Plant update for today, will get some better lighting for my next update but the plants are doing great with the setup. Growing really well this week, plants all grew, Cactus most noticeable but Jade and Rosemary filling in well. #tonyswinterplanttracking

Four year old’s Minecraft themed birthday party

Based on “I Don’t Care” I cannot wait for the Schaudenfreude of hearing Dave come in for vocals on a Metallica song.

Saturday Dad Rant

Other albums released today are struggling to get through the Lamp of Murmuur wall.

At the Graveripper and Sadistic Force show at Underground Musuc Cafe here in Minneapolis waiting for the local opener to go on. Got to talk to Corey from Graveripper a bit, congratulated him on the killer record, he was a fan of my Acid Mass shirt,

Cross posted sorry.Gonna maybe make a weekly post tracking my indoor plants over the winter. I can’t really keep track of how they’re growing just looking at them every day because they don’t change but maybe we can track over time. #tonyswinterplanttracking

POV: Sunday Night

The Dunkaroos were a mistake.

Tonight’s Listens: Bastard Cröss - Crossripper Despised Icon - Shadow Work Blackbraid - Blackbraid III Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power Agriculture - Living is Easy (EP) Ghost Bath - Rose Thorn Necklace #metalsky

The new Despised Icon is pretty good, I haven’t seen it talked about a ton but it’s quite heavy and technically sound. I don’t know this band well to know how it stacks up against their catalog. #metalsky

First Impressions of Heavy’s earbuds is they’re quite good. The sound is the best I’ve heard from buds. They sound killer. The transparency and anc modes seem solid but the sound fidelity is great.

Haven’t owned a sport coat that fit since I lost weight (it’s been 8 years now lol). So Ghoul and I went shopping and I think we did pretty good.

That look when Halloween is over.

Wife: “If you are handing out candy you’ll be getting up and down a lot.” Me: “I’m gonna sit next to the door and play Skinny Puppy” Wife: “Hahahaha” Me: *was serious*

The four year old: <points at the cemetery> “Look at that Halloween Dad!”

Happy Halloween Ghosts ant Ghouls! @mikethrash.bsky.social youtu.be/y90CO1cWpUU?...

@metal-connect.com Saeva already dropped if you have time tonight

@mikethrash.bsky.social listened to the Graveripper and Crop episodes. Graveripper I loved when you talked the process with him and Cory talked about how metal has gone away from verse chorus verse but he still likes writing that way. In Crop I loved how naturally it flowed and the discussion of

I accidentally listened to all of Agriculture’s albums and EP’s again. #metalsky

Anthony’s Derpy Snake Jack O’Lantern Says Happy Halloween!

Finished Yakuza5 on the PS5 and… I mean, look, a lot of it was good, a lot of the combat was good, the Haruka parts were at least well implemented… while four had a nice interweaving web of intrigue, this was like four ship anchors crossed up occasionally tugging in a direction.

Listened to, I’m pretty sure all of Agriculture’s catalog tonight and wow what a band. #metalsky

It’s the large child’s birthday party so seemed like a great day to debut the unique @eveale.bsky.social striped t-shirt! Awesome merch from an awesome project, can’t wait to dwell in the forest with them in the new year! #metalsky

“Wildflowers are just weeds with marketing.” ~ Random things I say at work

Thinking this year has just been killer for thrash metal, and this is not an inclusive list, but here are four albums from smaller bands I’ve loved this year and are vying for my top spot. #metalsky

Halloween Decorations Complete!

On first listen and a half both the Tribal Gaze and Abstract Illusion aren’t hitting for me. But can someone maybe sell me on it? @ken-kenny-kenneth.bsky.social @acadamien.bsky.social maybe?

Needed some Culver’s Garlic Pub Burger in my life

Happy Graveripper is out day to all who celebrate BSky! #metalsky

It’s ok I can just not comment on this one and move on.

In the office fit with the stealth Deatheaven Polo (I wish more bands did this) and my new Lucky Brand jeans that are not skinny jeans. #metalsky

Graveripper streaming their album coming out Friday on Decibel and it’s a nasty piece of thrash/black metal you will enjoy if any of that sounds good to you. #metalsky www.decibelmagazine.com/2025/10/14/f...

When you love your spouse so much you let them be Pikachu and you be Greninja on your anniversary mug.

#MusicChallenge #Howl-A-Ween 🎃 #MetalSky Day 11 - The Color Black Burn it Down - Paint it Black youtu.be/q8bgTvYO_2M?...

This Testament album is a really good comeback for them. Their discography is up and down and this is definitely an up point. I’m not sure it’s as innovative as what some of the younger bands are doing in the space, but if you just want some Testament updated for 2025, this is nice. #metalsky
