Two weeks worth of Week Thing as I forgot last week. It's list season and I'm doing some revisiting... Album of the Two Weeks is Lamp or Murmur - The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy #metalsky

This is a superb AOTY list

Missed new Thanatophobia 🇷🇺🇧🇾 in March. Big mistake. This is probably my favorite contemporary brutal death metal project. Utterly pulverizing but with touches of melodicism and cosmic progginess #metalsky lordofthesickrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/twilig...

Zak Fucking Crawley ffs

Happy First Day of the First Test of The Ashes, to all who celebrate This will be fun for about five minutes until the wickets start falling

90s emo in 90s skatevids was an S-tier combo youtu.be/h444ZudKXFE?...

Week thing. Double bill of Teutonic sadness from Waldgeflüster 🇩🇪, thrash from Transgressive 🇺🇸, heavy metal dreampop from Astronoid 🇺🇸 and black metal from Auriferous Flame 🇬🇷 Elsewhere, favorites old and new AOTW is Pupil Slicer - Fleshwork 🇬🇧 (mathcore) #metalsky

Happy Waldgeflüster Day to those who celebrate!

What a week for black metal!!! Orm 🇩🇰 , Yellow Eyes and One of Nine 🇺🇸, Robes of Snow and Unholy Altar 🇺🇸 , Aduanten 🇺🇸 and Rå 🇧🇪, plus HÆRESIS, VÅILD and Nimbifer 🇩🇪 (@vendettarecords.bsky.social) Teardrinker 🇳🇱 for scramz EPOTY AOTW is Barren Path - Grieving 🇺🇸🇯🇵 (Grindcore, Willowtip) #metalsky

We have a new podcast out in which we talk about metal from our home state of Pennsylvania. Check it out wherever you get ya pods 🤘 #metalsky linktr.ee/thepurgatory...

The Kevin Baekkel part at 19 minutes is utterly fucked youtu.be/6FmNP5SolaY?...

A reminder for everyone that this incredible album, like all new @vendettarecords.bsky.social releases, is available on wax in the US from Meteor Gem meteor-gem.com

Orm, One of Nine and Yellow Eyes! 🔥BANGER🔥 release day, daaayyuuum! What else are you spinning #metalsky ?

Work is killing me. Didn't listen to much. Incredible new offerings from funeral doom masters Evoken 🇺🇸 and Down Under Death Metallers Vile Apparition 🇦🇺. Coroner 🇨🇭 was last week's AOTW... This week's is one of the best atmoblack offerings of the year. Denmark is where it's at rn: Sunken - Lykke 🇩🇰

#nowplaying Sunken - Lykke 🇩🇰 (2025) Released last week, this is some truly phenomenal sad boi atmospheric black metal, adding to a tremendous run for Danish bands of this ilk over recent months. Instabuy on the wax from Eisenwald sunkendenmark.bandcamp.com/album/lykke-2

Week! Fierce DM from Vile Apparition 🇦🇺, punky blackdeath from Siege Column 🇺🇸, glorious raw black metal from Lucerne Hammer 🇨🇦 Shared AOTW with @animalman.bsky.social and @terzijdehorde.bsky.social, both 🔥🔥🔥 #metalsky

We finally got around to adding our podcast to iTunes / Apple Podcasts, if that is where you get your pods /,,/

#nowplaying Funkadelic - Uncle Jam Wants You 🇺🇸 (1979) Couple of major funk bangers on Side A but man the title track opening Side B just funks so goddamn hard. Basslines to disintegrate to. Defo one of my fave P-funk albums #notmetalnotsorry

Week thing. Really loved the new Agriculture but AOTW is Unsouling - Outward Streams of Devotional Woe #metalsky

yesterday’s release: aquilus • griseus 🌫️ professionally duplicated in real-time 🍂 two-sided j-card + 3 panels 🌫️ pad printed art on shells 🍂 limited edition of 99 cultofthemoonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/griseus

What an extraordinary venue to host an Opeth show. Growing up in West Yorkshire I visited the Piece Hall many times. A beautiful place and very in keeping with the period nature of The Last Will…

Species and Violator both thrash. Demersal and Raein are both killer scramz. Infiltrator is Bolt Thrower and Drawn & Quartered is solid ass Death Metal. Autrest is just amazing atmoblack from Brazil FFO Ethereal Shroud. AOTW is Wounds of Recollection - I Found The Love I Was Looking For #metalsky

Well, this is quite fabulous. One-man atmospheric black metal from Brazil. Very much FFO Ethereal Shroud. We love it. autrest.bandcamp.com/album/burnin...

"There’s a case to be made that Nux Vomica is the most ambitious crust record ever made." It's an unsung masterpiece. Great pick/list @bandcamp.com #crustsky daily.bandcamp.com/lists/relaps...

#nowplaying Demersal - Vi kunne ikke blive her for evigt, vel? 🇩🇰 (2025) EPOTY contender, holy shit. Scramz / emoviolence that is in equal parts catchy, heartfelt and pulverising. Instabuy #scramzsky demersalband.bandcamp.com/album/vi-kun...

My favorite album from every year I've been alive It was indeed very fun to think about

Week thing. New Heretoir didn't quite land with me. Otherwise did genre whiplash on a bunch of favorites oldish and new AOTW is Panopticon - The Poppies Bloom For No King #metalsky

Hareesh teases new Iravu full length “which will serve as a bridge between all my musical sensibilities (ambient, technical, brutal and melodic)” Fuck yeah

Week thing obviously dominated by the passing of the legendary Tompa. He recorded lots of great music outside of ATG, but their discog binge is as far as I got this week. Respect to a true hero and legend of our culture /,,/ /,,/ AOTW is At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul #metalsky

Secured my tix to see @derwegeinerfreiheit.de, Oranssi Pazuzu and Wayfarer at MDF next year. Looking forward to Charm City hangs with @donomite.bsky.social and @derekpetersen.bsky.social. Parenting has kept me out of the game for nearly a year 😭

RIP Tomas Lindberg. A true death metal legend

Week thing. New wax from Panopticon 🇺🇸 and Tardigrada 🇨🇭.Three new ones from Vendetta: Kold, Morild & Frelser 🇩🇰. Sick atmoblack from @corridoreband.bsky.social 🇺🇸. Fantastic screamo from Serrate 🇺🇸 and riff-laden DM from Malformed 🇫🇮 AOTW is Amimia - Eigengrau 🇩🇪 (DSBM / Blackgaze)

Belgian post-metal stalwarts Psychonaut announce new album 'World Maker' due 10/24/2025 on Pelagic Records. New single 'Stargazer' here (preorders are also up) youtu.be/7YFLXiPCE4E?...

#nowspinning Tardigrada - Vom Bruch bis zur Freiheit 🇨🇭(2021) Everyone (rightly) went nuts for last year’s Aara release but this is The Other amazing Swiss BM/atmoblack band. Fans of Eiger should really check this out… Definitely due another from these guys #metalsky

England’s 342 run annihilation of South Africa in Southampton is the largest margin of victory in ODI history. Remarkable for a team coming off the 100 and looking utterly clueless just a week ago www.espncricinfo.com/series/south...

@guerillacricket.bsky.social Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy innit

I did four

@vendettarecords.bsky.social dropped THREE (3) new records from Danish black metal bands today! #3 Frelser - Afgrundsprofeti Ok this is fucking black metal with sullen, mournful vibes, blast beats and moaning wails recalling Ossaert #metalsky frelser.bandcamp.com/album/afgrun...

You know what to do #metalsky

Songs of Hiraeth finally arrived so I once again have The Complete Panopticon This is everything ever released on vinyl (minus the double edition of Scars) #metalsky #recordcollecting

@vendettarecords.bsky.social dropped THREE (3) new records from Danish black metal bands today! #2 Kold - Det Falmede Håb Another Sophomore full length. Post-black metal, vocals recall Deafheaven, musically more in the atmoblack range #metalsky koldbanddk.bandcamp.com/album/det-fa...

@vendettarecords.bsky.social dropped THREE (3) new records from Danish black metal bands today! Morild - Disse Fugle Får Ingen At Se Sophomore full length from the Copenhagen 5-piece. Four tracks of expansive, long form post-black metal #metalsky morild.bandcamp.com/album/disse-...

England are 3 for 11 in ODIs this year… It’s almost as if when you stop playing domestic 50 over cricket your national 50 over team starts to suck

Metal Storm are reporting Inanna 🇨🇱 have disbanded. Tragic news, if true. Void of Unending Depths is one of the best death metal albums of recent memory, while 2012’s Transfigured… is a stone cold classic. I know what I’m spinning today #metalsky

When I moved to the US 11 years ago I brought my fairly sizable DVD collection with me. But no DVD player… Finally got around to sorting that out. Excited to reacquaint myself with some of the many classics on the shelves

#nowspinning Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain 🇺🇸 (2006) Unquestionably one of the most important records on my extreme metal journey. Delighted to finally have it in the collection! Thanks @decibelmagazine.bsky.social for this glorious edition /,,/

This is so f'n good, how was I not aware this came out last year? Alice Simard alternates between rocking post punk and instrumental black metal in a major change of direction from 2023's excellent 'Une interprétation...' turpitude.bandcamp.com/album/n-crom...

KYLE SCHWARBER HAS DONE IT FOUR HOME RUNS IN A GAME

A #metalsky week. New(ish) Ruadh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (bm), Panopticon 🇺🇸 (americana) and Stygian 🇮🇹 (neocrust). Also some more recent releases from coffret de bijoux and Turpitude, both from prolific & amazing trans Québécoise black metal multi-instrumentalist Alice Simard AOTW is Defacement - Doomed 🇳🇱 (dissodeath)

Another week in metal. Prepping for Panopticon vinyl with some old skool hits. Some Envy and some other skramz loveliness AOTW is Kólga - Kólga 🇺🇸 (2025) Blackgaze / Atmoblack EP feat A. Lunn. Very, very much FFO Panopticon #metalsky bindrunerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/k-lga
