Hmm 🤔 Last time I heard Bush, it was "Glycerine". Errg 😮‍💨 But, this new song 🧐 ... It's as if Katatonia broke into Bush's studio & recorded over all their tracks ... and no one noticed. It's the only logical explanation! 🥴 youtu.be/zn38lk5EaWE #rocksky #musicsky #metalsky

Gretel is clearly a German Shepherd crossed with a seal. And she has a lot to say about going to daycare. 🦮🦭❤️ #dogsofbluesky #germanshepherd youtube.com/shorts/CnGN5...

I am irrationally excited to see my absolute favourite band - Be’lakor - play in Sydney in October. Fourth time seeing them in 3 years. Only Be’lakor could write a kiss-ass metal song about entomology. 🤘🐜🤘 youtu.be/dOh0Z2mxQgU?...

I’m not normally a huge fan of covers, but this is amazing. CPE Bach was always ahead of his time - I think he would have approved. 🎵🎹🎵 youtu.be/JiETLLsXzFI?...

Please, please do yourself a favour and buy a copy of Underrot’s latest album on Bandcamp. It is truly melodeath at its finest!!! 🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky

Love this track - looking forward to hearing the album!!! 🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky

Dark Tranquillity at the Crowbar in Sydney definitely did not disappoint! What an amazing (if somewhat warm) concert! 🤘🖤🤘

Nothing like a lovely bit of atmospheric post-metal to brighten up a Monday morning!!! 🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky somaliyachtclub.bandcamp.com/album/the-sp...

This is just so, so good. Stellar melodic death metal. Perfect listening for a lazy Sunday afternoon. 🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky youtu.be/ZqHAEoJ7_vs?...

Really love the guitar work in this one - feels a bit Gojira-esque in places. Lovely progressive, heavy and atmospheric soundtrack for Valentine’s Day…🤘❤️🤘 #metalsky stillfalling.bandcamp.com/album/throug...

What do I need to get through a Wednesday in the office? Well, some dark, spacey, heavy, melodic doom certainly helps…🤘📤🤘 #metalsky monolithe.bandcamp.com/album/black-...

I do love that sax. Very much so. 🤘🎷🖤

I have no idea what this is, but I like it. Sounds like all the circus clowns from my nightmares got together and made a song. In the best possible way. 🤘🖤🤡 #metalsky youtu.be/yVVsqgNqmwQ?...

This is some excellent, doom-infused listening for a Monday morning. The soaring vocals set against piano-infused, raw and heavy instrumentals is fantastic. Love it, in the doomiest, gloomiest way possible…🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky #doommetal bleakheart.bandcamp.com/album/silver...

The newest release by Pyres is definitely worth checking out. I love the unrelenting rhythm, harsh yet melodic vocals, and overall grunge-y atmosphere. Looking forward to hearing the whole album!!! 🤘🖤🥁 #metalsky

Xen will be missed. His vocals in Ne Obliviscaris were amazing! 🤘I look forward to see his other projects. 🎶

The Eternal was amazing last night!!! Doomy, melodic, heavy…loved it so much!!! 🤘🖤🤘🎵 #metalsky

I’ve been an adult for longer than I care to admit, and yet I still don’t know if I like coffee. ☕️❓

I’ve had the latest release from @svn-seeker.bsky.social on repeat this morning. What a find! Well worth a listen, if you haven’t already - it’s riff-heavy melodeath at its finest. 🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky

Super stoked to see The Eternal play live in Canberra tomorrow night. 🤘🤘🤘 #metalsky youtu.be/MjmqX7ItiTg?...

The Vallhunds say ‘Happy Friday’ (*’also please send treats because she never feeds us’).

Ah Duolingo…good on you for helping me learn by instilling a sense of existential dread. 😳

I agree 100%. 🤘🤘🤘

I am very late to the party on this but this is so cool!!! As a math nerd, ‘a time signature based on Fibonacci numbers in the verses’ makes me irrationally giddy!!! Thank you @lisamannmusic.bsky.social 🤘❤️🤘 #metalsky

I just discovered this band from Sydney, Australia on Ampwall. This is a very cool album - I’m not even really sure how to describe it. Let’s just say it’s an experience. With trumpet. 🎺 🤘🖤 #metalsky puremass.ampwall.com/album/fire-s...

Well, it’s not my favourite style of metal, but it was a fun gig - HammerFall at the Manning Bar in Sydney. 🤘

In this album, Officium Triste proves that the major key does, in fact, fit very nicely in doom/death metal. Love it. ❤️🤘 officiumtriste.bandcamp.com/album/hortus...

The clearest image of Venus ever taken, by Japan's Akatsuki spacecraft

So lovely to be awoken in the morning by soothing birdsong…is what I would say if I didn’t live in Australia. Instead, I was jolted from my slumber by the ‘nails on chalkboard’ screeches of 50 cockatoos.

This is a super cool blend of doom and Americana by @buzzarddoomfolk.bsky.social. It’s one of those albums that I just know I’ll keep coming back to because it’s just so unique and well executed. 🤘❤️🤘#metalsky

Perfect soundtrack for a rainy summer’s evening - doom peppered with glimpses of hope that hits you straight in the feels. Love it. 🤘❤️🤘🎵 hammerheart.bandcamp.com/album/darrkh...

Wow. This is a debut album? There’s so much melodic, electronic, proggy goodness here to savour…🤘❤️🤘🎵 temic.bandcamp.com/album/terror...

This is what magic looks + sounds like ✨

Be’Lakor is a band that feels like pure magic to me. They masterfully blend melodic death metal with progressive elements. Their poetic lyrics tell intricate stories. Each album is the kind of journey that stays with you long after the last note fades.🤘❤️🤘 belakor.bandcamp.com/album/of-bre...

If you like your #post-metal French, some of the best to do it, then look no further. Excited to hear this in full in a few weeks holls.bandcamp.com/album/ill #postmetal

I’m late to the party, but grateful now to have joined. Corryvreckan by @handofkalliach.bsky.social is at once ethereal, folky, atmospheric and brutal. It is a gem of an album. Well, well worth a listen. 🤘🎵❤️ handofkalliach.bandcamp.com/album/corryv...

The Roomba got the rug clean, but three people died.

Really loving this album. Unique and hits hard. And the cover art is *chef’s kiss.*

Amazing debut album. Masterfully melds a range of genres into something magnificent. It’s one, I imagine, that will be on repeat for a while…🤘🎵🤘 vestigesom.bandcamp.com/album/janis

Lazy Saturday morning on the couch (*note: I have been evicted from most of the couch but I’m OK with that)…

Spot the German Shepherd…

I really love Rabea’s solo stuff - incredible sense of melody in his songwriting and expressiveness in his playing. youtu.be/2g8NZCXqfMI?...

Wise words…

Y’all. A lot of us have been sleeping on this incredible atmo/prog black metal album by @dismalimerence.bsky.social from Oct. Check it out and give them a follow, and thanks @nirensimt.bsky.social for the heads up. #metalsky dismalimerence.bandcamp.com/album/tome-ii

Something about this album just hits deep - comforting and melancholy, all at the same time. ❤️🤘🎵 youtu.be/3b7LRbtQEHU?...

Nothing better than finding a new band to love…🤘🤘🤘

Definitely worth a listen!!! 🤘
