Happy new year, all! One week in, and I'm STILL finishing the Christmas booze and eating Toblerone for breakfast! We get a couple of weeks grace, right?

OUT TODAY! Here is @overlordtregenza.bsky.social and @theoldbeandog.bsky.social singing the gospel on TESTAMENT'S new album Para Bellum!

⚔️NEW EPISODE: IN THE ABYSS MEETS... JO QUAIL⚔️ This week, Tregenza & Beandog have the pleasure of an hour in the company of the amazing Jo Quail. We discuss her musical journey, the outstanding new record 'Notan' and a somewhat unexpected path into heavy music. Link in bio☝️🤘 #metalsky

This week, @overlordtregenza.bsky.social @nigesavage.bsky.social both look back on a barnstorming weekend at Belgium's best metal fest Alcatraz Open Air with @theoldbeandog.bsky.social in tow. The good, the bad & the Blackie Lawless... What a weekend! Link in bio as usual 🤘☝️ #metalsky

⚔️BLOODSTOCK REVIEW - PART TWO⚔️ Live on YouTube & all the usual streaming platforms now... Voice Of Reason & Beandog are still doing their best to remember this year's Bloodstock fun & games... 🤘🤣 Link in bio!🤘 #bloodstockfestival #metalsky @antdan.bsky.social @theoldbeandog.bsky.social

GWAR to Livestream ‘Live From The Hellmouth’ Performance themosh.net/gwar-live-fr...

⚔️YOUTUBE UPLOAD / EPISODE DROP⚔️ Beandog & Tregenza spent a hot n' sweaty night in the company of one of the coolest bands out there right now, Belgium's Gnome. All the riffs, the swagger & the hats! Support on the night came from awesome two piece doom types WALL. Link in bio to watch! #metalsky

⚔️YOUTUBE UPLOAD / EPISODE DROP⚔️ Beandog & Tregenza dig into the ludicrously titled new Behemoth record 'The Shit Ov God'. Album number 13 from the Polish black metal heavyweights but what did we think of it? Link in bio to watch on YouTube or listen on the usual streaming sites👆 #metalsky

A few weeks ago we kicked off our YouTube channel... We are currently at 90 subscribers so it would be awesome to get more people involved... Let's get that over 100 today 🤘😁⚔️ #metalsky Here is our channel (check out our videos while you're there 😉): youtube.com/@intheabyssm...

Proper night out. 🤘 Radio City Social - 08/03/25 🔥 @intheabyssmetal.bsky.social

More metal chit chat. As a special birthday treat, Ant gets to pick his desert island discs... and in amongst it, I make a surprising confession!

This weeks prize for "challenging," lo-fi production married with stomach churning song titles goes to... MEPHITIC CORPSE. I'm pretty sure even their mother would find them difficult to love. Sick. Filth. Sign me up. 🤟🤮 mephiticcorpse.bandcamp.com/album/sickne...

Finally caught up with ONIROPHAGUS - REVELATIONS FROM THE VOID. It's powerful! It mangled me up... In a GOOD way. 🤘 personal-records.bandcamp.com/album/revela...

Shout out to Alastair Riddell. A man with exquisite taste and a library for a brain! Check this episode of IN THE ABYSS. You'll want to take notes... we did!

MASTODON - THE HUNTER (2011) I think THE HUNTER is a grossly underrated album. It's rarely one I reach out for, but when I do, I remember what a full on, roast beef with horseradish & gravy sandwich of an album it is!! Big up, THE HUNTER! Do we agree?

Maximum kudos to @kmanriffs.bsky.social Shining the light where it needs to be shone!

TURNTABLE REPORT: DINOSAUR JR - BEYOND (2007) I remember feeling really hyped at the thought of the original three Dinos coming back together to make a new record! Blows my mind to acknowledge this was 18 years ago! I love BEYOND. 8 ramshackle tracks to remind me why my hearing is fucked!
