Guess where this balloon is flying to April 9 next year?

I never felt so alive. A bit bloated though. This was written by a human known as Thomas.

Some people told me I ranked Paradise Losts's "Gothic" too low. So I am currently re-listening this classic to find out why I didn't like it, and I soon found the issue. My problem with it is (and I can't believe that I am saying this): the vocals. Nick Holmes sounds really cringe on this […]

Claudia Cardinale was one of the most beautiful human beeings who ever walked this earth. She was amazing in Once Upon a Time in the West. If you don't have any plans for tonight, you should watch this movie. RIP

For #mittwochmetalmix another song of the year contender of mine. For some reason I always wanna sing "a thousand lakes" thinking of Finland, even though Morax is from Norway 🤷‍♂️ Anyhow, it's really good 👇 🎵 A Thousand Names by Morax 💿 The Amulet, 2025 ▶️ https://song.link/y/ohLHdvGW8ZA […]

So you're saying The Cure are headlining Nova Rock next year, together with Iron Maiden? It's been 13 years since I have been to my last festival, but this sounds very tempting.

It's #TuneTuesday and all of a sudden I feel the #BrittleCold 🥶 (prompt by @JillsJoy ) Brittle cold = Immortal, that's a fact. 🎵 At the Heart of Winter by Immortal 💿 At the Heart of Winter, 1999 ▶️ https://song.link/i/264855438 #TomsMusic #NowPlaying #immortal

In preparation for Vienna Metal Meeting next week, I am listening to some Opeth. I like Oldpeth and Newpeth equally. Re-visiting Ghost Reveries.... is it just me or is Ghost of Perdition the best of both worlds? 🎵 Ghost of Perdition by Opeth 💿 Ghost Reveries, 2005 ▶️ […]

Today my kid told me that he can't wait to lose a tooth because the tooth fairy will bring him money. A month ago he got a School Cone for his first day at school. Last year he had a Halloween party and went trick or treating. When I was a kid, we didn't have any of these. All I had was a […]

Now this is an album cover that makes me wanna buy the record even though I don't know the first thing about his band. https://beholdtheelder.bandcamp.com/album/liminality-dream-state-return

Shades of deep purple.

online-kuendigen.at ist immer noch the GOAT 🐐

Auch wenn die Nachrichten noch so besorgniserrregend sind: ich lese Meerbusen und muss kichern.

On my 4th spin I realised that the new PL album doesn't start with the line "real bitch competition." I thought that's a bit un-Paradise Losty so I checked the lyrics. Nope, no real bitch competition, but an amazing intro nontheless. 🎵 Serpent On The Cross by Paradise Lost 💿 Ascension, 2025 ▶️ […]

Despite all the big releseses this year, my favourite song of the year remains this gem from an unknown heavy metal band from where I a am from 👇 🎵 Searching for Paradise by Küenring 💿 In Search of Paradise, 2025 ▶️ https://song.link/y/aFJKTlahNxw

I was yet again listening the new Paradise Lost album this morning and I was really enjoying the outro track. Then I realized that this was actually the intro to the new Castle Rat album. Listen to the new Castle Rat album, it is totally awesome. It's so good I even forgive them the idiotic all […]

If I seem a little alloof today, it's because my kid and I were on TV for two seconds yesterday. I still need to cope with all this newfound fame.

Wisst ihr, was ich tatsächlich an Twitter vermisse? Ab und an mal einen gepfegten Streit. Ihr seid hier alle viel zu nett.

Emotional support straw bouncy castles.

Kid and I just finished a 9 km hike and I am incredibly proud of him! #fediparents

This balloon has been floating around our house for a month now, ever since our kid's birthday. It has been in every room by now and scared all of us multiple times. Picture this: you are alone in the house and all of a sudden you hear something scratching […] [Original post on metalhead.club]

Emotional support cash registers.

We are at a flea market this morning trying to get rid of stuff. My strategy was: every item is 2€. It didn't take long until my wife told me to stop talking to people.

And now: this. 🎵 WOLF I by Castle Rat 💿 The Bestiary, 2025 ▶️ https://song.link/y/QwkqqLRvZS4 #TomsMusic #NowPlaying #castlerat

For #bandshirtfriday my favourite one. (it's my favourite because there's an owl on it)

I need to get something off my chest: I don't like Nine Inch Nails. Please don't hate me 🫤

"Dad, we'll say goodbye here at the gate, then I'll run to school so no one sees you dropping me off. Because that's embarrassing for me." 😶 WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING??? #fediparents

Number of times one of our family members has been stung by a wasp or a bee, since we moved to our house: 4 Number of times my wife has been stung: 4 🤔

One of my favourite Robert Redford movies is "Barefoot in the Park" from 1967. He and Jane Fonda are outrageously beautiful in this one.

Not sure if I like my new profile pic 🤔

Here is my first blog post. It is basically an uncluttered version of my very first #Metaljourney You are invited to read it, but bear in mind that I have a "no refunds" policy. https://derthomas.bearblog.dev/the-beginning-and-a-mastodon-metal-journey/ #bearblog

Here's a random story: I can still remember my first Nikes. Growing up, we barely got any brand shoes or clothes because it was way too expensive. I always envied the kids with Levi's jeans or brand sneakers. The first Nikes were actually my aunt's. I was beyond happy when she told me that I […]

#MyGoldenOldie for #tunetuesday#mygoldenoldieis the theme song of Golden Girls. When I was a kid I loved this show. Even though I didn't get the jokes at all. 🎵 Thank You For Being A Friend by Cindy Fee/Andrew Gold ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23GrEhLUF_k

If you ask me about my favourite metal bands, there's a good chance that I'll list Gojira among them. And yet have never listened to their first two albums. Time to change that. Time for a #Gojira #metaljourney#gojira🤘 🎵 Clone by Gojira 💿 Terra Incognita, 2001 ▶️ https://song.link/y/EGeoKEgUcZU

You may not have asked for a peak thrash metal song, but here is one: 🎵 Hordes of Chaos (A Necrologue for the Elite) by Kreator 💿 Hordes of Chaos, 2009 ▶️ https://song.link/y/xPvafu49vBg #TomsMusic #NowPlaying #Kreator #thrashmetal
