Two brilliant albums from legendary British NWOBHM'ers Hell. Bought back to life in the 2000's by #Sabbat / #JudasPriest guitarist & producer extraordinaire Andy Sneap. Classic Heavy Metal at its most grandiose & finest. Human Remains from 2011 and Curse & Chapter from 2013. #metalsky #heavymetal

I haven't done any distance cycling since the aborted L-E-L at the beginning of August. So thought I'd get my arse into gear & get on the bike & get out there to do some miles Scores on the doors. 100 miles on the dot. Imperial century ride #358 Imperial month #178 in a row. #cycling #cyclinglife

If I fits...I sits. #Catsofbluesky #cats

Damn, this is a great adaptation of a great book. I read it 40 years ago & this movie bought it all back. A very well made and well acted movie. One of those where the end comes too soon. I've bought the book again, looking forward to reading it again #TheLongWalk #newmovies #stephenking

Fellow Metal folks on bluesky Urne are probably one of the best Metal bands that the UK has produced in years. Trust me, they don't disappoint. Listen to this track then go buy/listen to their previous two albums. Also the bands cover of Dio era Black Sabbs 'I' is a fuckin' monster #MetalSky #Urne

Today is a good Metal music listening day. Why? Because the immense new Paradise Lost album Ascension is released today, that's why? Listen or be damned. #MetalSky #ParadiseLost #NewMusic www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Check out the cycling sock. Great huh? Thing is, I have the same sock on the other foot. Go me. #Cycling #CyclingLife #CyclingSky

So first is was just washing powder or tabs. Then came conditioners or softeners now they are foisting something called scent boosters on the populace. Its just a bloody scam to make money right?. Are people really buying this shit? #scentboosters #washing

Another brilliant 3 album run. This time from Teutonic Metallers The Scorpions. And there's really not much wrong with these three albums, apart from the dodgy covers. And they are still performing 60 years since they formed. Amazing. #MetalSky #MusicSky #TheScorpionS

Further to my previous 3 fab album Thin Lizzy run. The next 3 in the bands catalogue are similarly brilliant. What a band... what a catalogue.. what a legacy. #metalSky #MusicSky #PhilLynott #ThinLizzy

You would be very hard pressed to find a better 3 album run then these absolute beauties from Thin Lizzy #MetalSky #MusicSky #ThinLizzy #PhilLynott

Max doing what Max does best. The new single Storm The Gates from the forthcoming new album Chama. Brilliant stuff. #MetalSky #Soulfly #MaxCavalera www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbQE...

Lovely morning for it. A chill in the air. Autumn is upon us. #cycling #cyclecommute

I'm not the greatest of fan of Kanonenfieber. But recently their black metal vibes have been hitting the proverbial spot. I'm really enjoying their new track Z-Vor! #Kanonenfieber #BlackMetal #MetalSky #NewMusic www.youtube.com/watch?v=M355...

When you visit friends in Crete and they show you their gorgeous furry puppies

Phew its another scorcher in Koutouloufari in Crete. Better get the beers in. #crete #koutouloufari

If the 3 new tracks released so far by Paradise Lost are anything to go by, we are in for a right ol' treat for when the new album is released. Tyrant's Serenade is right out of the Type O Negative songbook. Immense #MusicSky #MetalSky #ParadiseLost www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_k...

Well.....indeed

Also, a very good morning to all my #cycling friends on Bluesky. Lovely temps on the commute.

Good morning folks of Bluesky. Time to crank up the ol' death deck with some Metal tunes to make the work day that much better. #MetalSky #HeavyMetal

New music Friday. Keeping Thrash Metal alive since 1983, Testament return with a fabulous, blistering new track Infanticide A.I. #MetalSky @alexskolnick.bsky.social #Testement #Infanticide #ThrashMetal www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtw3...

The very first record I bought with my own money was ELO's Out of The Blue back in '77 (I still own that very same copy. However it's not my favourite album by the band. That accolade goes to A New World Record. It's sheer perfection in every track. #ELO #ElectricLightOrchestra

Bottles of Chilli Sauce top up. Not flamimg hot by any stretch, but they are all very tasty. The @sainsburys.bsky.social Mango Habenero is especially so. #chillisauce

Another great photo from LEL. This time with LEL Organiser/top man extraordinaire Major Tim aka Magic Tim #LEL2025 #LEL

Riding in the club colours on #LEL25 #LEL2025 #cycling

Rachel (Landlady) & myself (Potboy) set up the Riders Return bar on the Friday. I rode the Sunday & Monday. We were back at Writtle on Tuesday to open the bar again. Boy, my fellow #LEL riders were a thirsty bunch. Shame we couldn't do the whole ride, but that's life. Roll on 2029 #LEL25 #LEL2025

LEL 2025 Day 1. Writtle to Malton. 232 miles for the day. Then the storm Floris shit hit the fan. #LEL2025 #cycling #cyclist

Mawiza, from Chile have a new album out, UL. Sung in their own indigenous Mapuzungun language, these guys just ooze Metal/Groove that will peel the skin on your face right off. Fuck these guys are good, so very heavy, so very good. #MetalSky #HeavyMetal #Mawiza www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmGW...

When Twisted Sister hit the UK in the early 80s, they absolutely blew this teenager away. There was nothing like them & there's been nothing since. Saw them live a good few times & they never disappointed. Found this live recording on YouTube & its rocks like a bastard #TwistedSister #MetalSky

Found a couple of old programmes from Ozzy gigs I went to back in the day Speak Of The Devil Tour Wembley 82, with Pete Way of UFO on bass & Brad Gillis on guitar. Bark At The Moon tour 83 at Hammersmith Odeon with Jake E Lee on guitar. Still remember both gigs well. #OzzyOsbourne #Ozzy #MetalSky

OK, a bone of contention for many Marillion fans. Fish or Steve? Myself? I like them both so I'm not going to choose one line up over the other. But, you really can't beat these two albums. Both are superbly written & played. Both essential listening. IMVHO of course #MetalSky #Music @marillion.com

Yuk.. a wet one for the first part of this mornings cycle commute. Thankfully its not cold and the second part of the commute was dry, only the wet roads throwing up spray and muck making Mr Bike dirty again. #CycleCommute #Cycling

Chelsea lads on a night out @topperuk.bsky.social I'll give you a shout next time. Love to have you join us. MattD, Cortez (Adam), Shane not of CC, best friend of Geebl RIP & Tappo (Clive). Some blasts from the past there right?

Phew! It's a muggy one this morning. Temperatures are expected to hit 30°s for this afternoons commute here in the SE. Then the weather breaks with predicted thunderstorms for most of tomorrow. #Cycling #CycleCommuting #Cyclist The misty Med at 7am

A couple of pics from last weekends ride around the highways and byeways of Kent. To Sandwich for a sandwich. #Cycling #Cyclist #Kent

Happy Friday Folks. I don't care what anyone says. Iron Maiden's Killers album is their best. Everything about the album just hits the spot for me. Don't disagree with me because what ever argument you have will be 100% wrong. 😀🤘 #MetalSky #HeavyMetal #IronMaiden

Happy Friday folks. Yeah! Never Mind The Bollocks. Yes we know Johnny Rotten is full of piss & vinegar these days but this album is a bone fide 10/10 classic. It still sounds as fresh and relevant today as it did back then. And Steve Jones' guitar is just immense #NeverMindTheBollocks #TheSexPistols

If you want to pay more for your rent, or your mortgage, vote Reform. If you want US-style health insurance, that leaves people bankrupt just because they fell ill, vote Reform

This weekends cycling shenanigans. A ride down to Ashford in deepest, darkest Kent for a veggie brekkie and cuppa. Fab weather today. 100 miles for the day. No Eddingtons this time. Imperial century month #175 in a row. Imperial century #354 Back on the cycle commute tomorrow #cycling #cyclist

Check 'em out. Power Surge and their new album Shadows Warning Brilliant traditional metal. Rifftastic, melodic heavy metal from this Croatian/Serbian band. #MetalSky #PowerSurge #HeavyMetal www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEPe...

Happy Heavy Metal Wednesday folks. Getting through today's work with a listen through the complete recordings of the mighty, legendary @tomgabrielwarrior.bsky.social 's Tryptikon #MetalSky #heavyMetal 🤘

We have some great bands playing here in Rochester.

Sundays ride The Hop Garden 200km Audax up,down & through the lanes, highways & byeways of Kent. Lots of hard climbing & lots of Marshes flats. It was a toughie what with the very warm weather A tad over 143 cycling miles for the day Imp Century #352, Imp century month #174 in a row #Audax #Cycling

Such a nice day here in the SE that it would be rude to not ride all the way home. #cyclecommute #cycling

Yesterday evening in Rochester. At The Going Down Of The Sun - We Will Remember Them. #VEday

I can honestly say that Múr's debut album is a stunning piece of work. It Rock's like an absolute bastard and gets better with every listen. Don't take my word for it, check it out yourself with this live clip from these brilliant Icelanders. #MetalSky #Mur www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O0r...

As much as I like my 20" folder, you really can't beat a big boys bike for a commute. After 4 days of foldering, its so nice to jump on the Ti PX. It was a cold, sunny morning here in the South East, with rising temps reaching low 20's for later. Perfect cycling weather for this afternoons ride home

Last weekends #Cycling shenanigans. The Man Of Kent 200km #Audax I nice old leg stretcher on some of the Garden of England's finest highways & byways. 167 miles for the day inc. riding 36 miles to/from the start/finish. Happy days.

Wake up Metalheads #metalsky

Morning fellow Metal Maniacs and Cycling nut jobs. Have a brilliant cartoon for the day #metalsky #cycling
