Late Night Listen. Between the Buried And Me | Automata I. I know they just released a new album. They’re too good of a band for me to not take my time to listen to that thoroughly and process. So, I’m listening to this tonight as I unwind. #metalsky sumerianrecords.bandcamp.com/album/automa...

Late Night Listen: Clutch | Psychic Warfare. Clutch’s discography is an embarrassment of riches. A smooth listen, clocking in at about 40 minutes. The riff machine is present here like on every album. Neil Fallon is an unmistakable and awesome voice. #metalsky #musicsky m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

It’s Friday and there’s a new Revocation album. Hell yes! No surprise this one is a total banger. Dave Davidson’s riffs will shred your face off like a cheese grater. Some great guest spots as well. #metalsky #musicsky revocationband.bandcamp.com/album/new-go...

Can’t sleep listen: Panopticon | The Poppies Bloom For No King. Excellent EP from an excellent black metal band. 75% of proceeds from the EP go to help people affected by ICE raids. This is a no-brainer buy. #metalsky #musicsky #blackmetal thetruepanopticon.bandcamp.com/album/the-po...

Late night listen: Anthrax | State of Euphoria. This was the classic era of thrash. So many good songs on this album. I feel like Anthrax has never put out a bad album with Joey on vocals. New album this year? - let’s hope. #metalsky #anthrax #musicsky m.youtube.com/watch?v=2t88...

Later Listen: Jungle Rot. Some good ol’ fashioned mid-paced death metal to end a week full of BS. Love these guys. When they put out an album, you know what you’re getting. #metalsky #deathmetal #musicsky junglerot.bandcamp.com/album/jungle...

Nightly Listen: Bison | Quiet Earth. Once upon a time these guys were compared to Mastodon. Probably gonna catch hate but I like the musical path these guys chose better. If you like Leviathan era Mastodon you’ll like this. #metalsky #musicsky bison.bandcamp.com/album/quiet-...

Late Night Listen. Castavet | Mounds of Ash. Ever fall in love with a band’s music and then they just disappear? That’s Castavet. Fantastic black metal album IMO. The title track echoes through the soul. #metalsky #musicsky profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/mounds...

WTF am I still up listen. The Skull | The Endless Road Turns Dark. For fans of Trouble - no explanation needed here. It’s Eric Wagner fronted doom metal. God, I wish he was still with us. I feel like he still had so much good to shine on the world. the-skull.bandcamp.com/album/the-en...

Late night listen: Coroner | R.I.P. This album is a pinnacle of excellence. Great songs, great musicianship, hooks that linger in your brain for a lifetime. So excited they’re releasing a new album. #metalsky #musicsky coronerofficial.bandcamp.com/album/r-i-p

Nightly Listen: Brutal Truth | Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses. Still a grind must listen. I love how they push things at times to the point of sounding like the wheels are going to fall off the car-but they don’t. #metalsky #musicsky #grindcore brutaltruth.bandcamp.com/album/extrem...

Late night Listen: Revocation | Deathless. This band was awesome to start and just keeps getting better and better. Dave Davidson is an absolute beast of a guitarist. No bad albums but this is one of my favorites. #metalsky #musicsky revocationband.bandcamp.com/album/deathl...

Too many beers listen: Meliah Rage | Solitary Solitude. Don’t get me started on how this is one of the most underrated thrash bands ever. Kill to Survive will get its own rightfully deserved post, when I get the vinyl out of storage. #metalsky #thrash m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Drinking Beers Listen: Sepultura | Chaos A.D. What’s to be said? This is a classic metal album, full stop. Simple, heavy and full of earworm hooks. Very different while still sounding exactly like that era of Sepultura. #metalsky #musicsky #sepultura m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Late Night Listen: Circle Jerks | Wonderful. Honestly, who doesn’t like Circle Jerks? People who haven’t heard them, obv. Punk, hardcore and crossover thrash are what many of us grew up on. Love that they roast hair metal - especially Ted Nugent. Fuck him. #metalsky m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Nightly Listen: Nachtmystium | Assassins: Black Meddle Pt.1 - Black metal starts as the canvas here and Nachtmystium paints outside of then established lines. Blake Judd has had his share of controversies but this album is indisputably enticing. #metalsky #musicsky m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Nightly listen: Sanctuary | Refuge Denied. It’s hard to believe that this album is gonna turn 40 in a couple of years. It still holds up. Sanctuary, the song, is as haunting as ever. RIP Warrel Dane. His range and power was amazing. #metalsky #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLv3...

Nightly Listen: Noisem | Blossoming Decay. Fast, chaotic and heavy AF. That’s a great recipe. Merciless blast beats and screams mix well with lightning speed riffs and frenetic solos. Well worth a listen if you havent already. #metalsky #musicsky noisem.bandcamp.com/album/blosso...

Afternoon Listen: Torche | Admission. IMO, these guys have no bad albums. Solid songwriting, great tone and competent musicianship. I heard they’re reuniting for some shows. Let’s hope they get things back together. #metalsky #musicsky torche.bandcamp.com/album/admiss...

Nightly Listen: Necrot | Mortal. I love it when a 3-piece just crushes it with a sound much bigger than its parts. Necrot has been one of those bands for a while now. No overcomplicating things here. Just straight up great death metal. #metalsky #deathmetal necrot.bandcamp.com/album/mortal

Nightly Listen: Grand Cadaver | The Rot Beneath. It’s a short listen but a very enjoyable one. Swedish death metal is an essential part of a healthy metalhead’s music diet. Get your daily serving, below. #metalsky #deathmetal grandcadaver.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro...

Late Night Listen: Killswitch Engage | Alive or Just Breathing. A “modern”classic. Maximum riffage, blending beautiful with heavy. For those who dismiss this as, “I don’t listen to metalcore”, come on - it’s a great album. Get over yourself. #metalsky #KsE m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#capitalism #fuckthis #greed

Nightly listen: Fates Warning |No Exit. Elements of classic metal, progressive metal and thrash rolled into one package. This album takes me back to my teenage years when metal was a blank canvas upon which bands painted life-changing works. #metalsky fateswarning.bandcamp.com/album/no-exi...

Some of my favorite signs at a local protest I went to this morning. #impeachtrump #releasethefiles

Tomorrow’s gonna suck/too many beers listen: Megadeth |So Far, So Good, So What. They’re hanging up the cleats. Will it be a true retirement or a Slayer-style one? Time will tell. They put out four great albums that will be remembered forever. The others-maybe not so much. Catch em on tour in ‘26.

Late night listen: Municipal Waste | Electrified Brain. It’s been too long since I’ve been to a MW show. It’s good for the soul. After a long week I’m ready for MW and some 3 Floyd’s Zombie Dust to f’ me up. It’s an excellent pairing. #metalsky #thrash municipal-waste.bandcamp.com/album/electr...

Just got off work listen: Pustulant Flesh | Gurgling Pustulence. If you’re a fan of death metal, you can’t help but be drawn to an album titled “Gurgling Pustulence”. Nice blend of brutality and musicianship here. \m/ #metalsky #deathmetal pustulant-flesh.bandcamp.com/album/gurgli...

Nightly Listen: Mobile Deathcamp | Volume 4-ish. This ep gets in, hits you with a wall of death and is on its way. Just some good punk-inspired thrash. You’ll be hard-pressed to find something that will bring you more joy for $4 on Bandcamp - says me. mobiledeathcamp.bandcamp.com/album/vol-4-...

Lazy Sunday Listen: Trouble |Simple Mind Condition. This one got no distribution, which is a shame because it’s so damn good. Eric Wagner sounds heavy yet bluesy. Rick Wartell and Bruce Franklin show why they’re one of the best guitar duos ever. #metalsky troubleofficial.bandcamp.com/album/simple...

Late night listen: Sepultura | Schizophrenia. A lesser discussed classic in Sepultura’s discography. I was happy to see Max give this one a re-recording with the proper treatment. The original still shreds. The start of an incredible 4-essential album run. #metalsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oms2...

🎬 We’re crowdfunding JITTERS a thriller/horror film now in final post-production! Filming’s done. Help us finish editing and bring it to life! please share! Or Come and join the family! Check out the JITTERS TRAILER! www.indiegogo.com/projects/jit...

Avoiding yardwork listen: Pig Destroyer | Head Cage. Maybe some grindcore will give me the motivation I need to get back in the heat to pull weeds. Or maybe I’ll move on to some Napalm Death or Nasum next. #metalsky #grindcore pigdestroyer.bandcamp.com/album/head-c...

Afternoon listen: Corrosion of Conformity | IX. The three-piece Animosity-era lineup just slaps. While this doesn’t relive their hardcore roots (although a couple tracks do), it just sounds the way classic COC sounded, raw yet proficient. RIP Reed Mullin. #metalsky m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

New Lows | Abhorrent Endings. It’s 1:24 am and I need to be up in about four hours. Some raging hardcore will surely help me get a good night’s sleep. This album is short but chock full of angry vocals and grinding riffs. #metalsky #hardcore #musicsky newlowsband.bandcamp.com/album/abhorr...

Nightly listen: Fear Factory | Archetype. As to the then-question of how fear Factory would sound without Dino Cazares on guitar - the answer was, “pretty damn good”. Not to commit divine heresy (wink) but this one might actually be my favorite. #metalsky #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMiv...

It’s almost 11pm. I have a tough workday tomorrow and an early start. I need to go to sleep. Will I? No, I’m going to bark at the moon. #metalsky #ozzy #musicsky #metal

Nightly Listen: Power Trip | Manifest Decimation. For the old guard who don’t like “modern” bands, here’s your jumping forward point. Transport this album back to 1988 and thrash fans would have rejoiced. RIP Riley Gale. #metalsky #metal #musicsky powertripsl.bandcamp.com/album/manife...

Cleaning the basement listen: Wrath| Rage. I always looked up to these guys and Cyclone Temple as a young Chicago-area thrash metal enthusiast. Seeing others do it inspired me to start playing way back then. If you haven’t heard of these guys check them out! open.spotify.com/album/0yiZi7...

Late Night Listen: Valient Thorr | Our Own Masters. As good as these guys sound recorded, it doesn’t compare to seeing them live. They’re just that good. Was lucky enough to see them with COC (classic 3pc lineup) and Torche (another of my fav bands). #metalsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns32...

Secondary Late Night Listen: Entombed | Left Hand Path. What’s to be said that hasn’t been said? I’ll say it anyway. It’s a classic amongst all death metal classics. Man, to relive the time of the classic Earache releases is something. RIP LG Petrov. #metalsky #music-sky

Late Night Listen: Baptists | Bloodmines. Too bad the singer was a shithead and broke up the band. They had some Converge energy a’brewin. Frenetic, heavy and awesome album. I feel like they could have continued with someone else. Oh well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiVz... #metalsky

Nightly listen: Necrony | Necronycism: Distorting the Originals. This is a wild one. Bought in Europe forever ago. Covers of Carcass, Carnage, Bolt Thrower, Impetigo and Napalm Death. Released via Poserslaughter Records. #metalsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCjc...

Nightly Listen: Deceased | Children of the Morgue. Deceased can move from death metal to OS thrash to beautiful guitar melody to sounding like Voivod in the span of a song - and it’s wonderful. Yet another great album and one of last year’s best. the-true-deceased.bandcamp.com/album/childr...

Late night listen: Magrudergrind. Do you like chaotic riffs? Shit that makes you want to put your fist through drywall? Me too. Magrudergrind fucks. #metalsky #musicsky #grindcore magrudergrind.bandcamp.com/album/magrud...

Drinking Beer Listen: Wipers|Over the Edge. One of Portland’s finest. They helped pave the way for so many bands to come, including the Sub-Pop bands of the late 80’s/early 90’s. Red Fang paid a great homage to the title track a few years ago. #punksky #metalsky wipers.bandcamp.com/album/over-t...

Nightly listen: Voivod | Rrroooaaarrr. How do you not like an album with a “Thrashing Side” and. “Ripping Side”? Voivod is one of a kind. Was lucky enough to see these guys not too long ago with Prong. What a fuckin’ show that was! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0BO...

Nightly listen: Carcass|Torn Arteries. I love the in between Necroticism and Heartwork period of the last couple of Carcass albums. The first track catapults me back to the 90’s. It just sounds like an album I would have bought back in the day. #metalsky carcass.bandcamp.com/album/torn-a...

Why am I still up listen: Death | Symbolic. Another progression in the unparalleled catalogue of Death. Not to take anything away from this album, but how many fucking awesome albums has Gene Hoglan played on? I’ve lost count. #metalsky #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH4j...

Nightly listen: Gatecreeper | An Unexpected Reality. Do You like buzzsaw guitars? A death metal album with songs that punch you in the face and leave the room? Well, I do. If you do as well, get yourself this record. #metalsky #musicsky gatecreeper.bandcamp.com/album/an-une...
