#NowPlaying Black Sabbath ‘Tyr’ (BMG re-issue, 2024) It’s almost always the most unfashionable of albums that best stand the test of time. A sprawling Heavy Metal epic ⚡️🤘🏻⚡️ #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Behemoth ‘The Shit ov God’ (Nuclear Blast clear 2LP, 2015) Was a bit lukewarm on the last couple of Behemoth records but this is a real return to form. Sounds HUGE 🔥 #behemoth #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Jonathan Hultén ‘Eyes of the Living Night’ (Kscope blue vinyl, 2025) Much love for Jonathan’s unique take on dark folk - an enigmatic force of nature ✨👁️✨👁️✨ #jonathanhulten #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Folksky

Thin Lizzy ‘Acoustic Sessions’ (Decca Records clear vinyl, released today) 🍀🖤🍀 #thinlizzy #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #recordcollector #Rocksky

#NowPlaying Madder Mortem ‘Marrow’ (Dark Essence transparent green LP, 2018) Progressive in its truest sense, how MM aren’t absolutely huge is beyond me. Gem of a band 🤍 #maddermortem #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Entombed ‘To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth!’ (Threeman gatefold reissue, 2022) Death’n’Roll masterclass 🎲💀🎲 #entombed #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Misfits ‘Evilive’ (Plan 9 blue LP re-issue) 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 #misfits #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Punksky

#NowPlaying Immolation ‘Dawn of Possession’ (Listenable purple LP re-issue, 2015) An OSDM favourite from back in the day - still going strong and sounding savage as ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #immolation #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

The queen herself—Boudica! 🐴 Known for leading the charge against Roman rule in Britain, she’s the ultimate icon of determination and triumph (and maybe tight scheduling). Whether you're channelling her warrior energy or just curious, there's plenty to discover about her. 💪

#NowPlaying Celtic Frost ‘Into the Pandemonium’ gatefold LP (Noise, 1987) Hugely influential band, the blend of styles was truly pioneering. Tom G is the greatest 🖤 #ceticfrost #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Winterfylleth ‘The Hallowing of Heirdom’ (Candlelight, 2018) Stunning English folk from UKBM stalwarts. The Sycamore Gap tree on the album cover has since been senselessly destroyed - its spirit lives on ✨🌳✨ #winterfylleth #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Folksky

#NowPlaying Emperor ‘Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk’ green 2LP (Candlelight/Back On Black re-issue, 2005) Sublime from start to finish, this raised the bar massively for Black Metal in the late 90’s. Epic, rousing extremity ⚡️👊🏻⚡️ #emperor #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Skyclad ‘Jonah’s Ark’ green 2LP (Noise re-issue, 2017) Only time seeing Skyclad live was on this tour and it was a riot. One of my all-time favourite bands, Martin’s lyrics in particular are a gift from the gods 🌳🤘🏻🌳 #skyclad #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

This evening’s viewing 🔥😈🔥

#NowPlaying Trouble ‘The Skull’ (Hammerheart re-issue, 2020) Thank Christ for Trouble 💀🙏🏻💀 #trouble #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

This afternoon’s viewing @shudder.com

#NowPlaying Paradise Lost ‘Shades of God’ picture disc LP (MFN re-issue, 2016) First PL album I heard back in ‘92 and it’s remained my favourite ever since. Greg Mackintosh’s tone on this is unreal, doom at its most exquisite #paradiselost #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

Just watched this. Proper unhinged. Excellent stuff.

#NowPlaying Glasvegas ‘S/T’ (Columbia, 2008) The rarest of diamonds in the era of late 00’s indie landfill. Front-to-back anthems, lyrically brilliant with gritty melancholy - what an album 🤍 #glasvegas #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity

#NowPlaying Hawkwind ‘Warrior On The Edge Of Time’ gatefold LP (UAG, 1975) Assault and battery on the human anatomy, man… 🌀🚀🌀 #hawkwind #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Folksky

Ad for the Kneecap album at Canary Wharf DLR this morning. Love the DUP quote 😂

#NowPlaying Darkher ‘Realms’ (Prophecy, 2016) Stark, foreboding doom. Jayn’s voice will claim your soul 🥀🌙 #darkher #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity

#NowPlaying Clannad ‘Magical Ring’ (RCA, 1983) A lifetime of memories wrapped up in this album. As haunting and captivating as ever ✨🪨🪨🪨✨ #clannad #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Folksky

#NowPlaying Anthrax ’Sound Of White Noise’ violet/black/white splatter 2LP (Nuclear Blast re-issue, 2011) A 10/10 album - adore the guitar tone on this, together with John Bush’s killer vocals. 90’s Anthrax is hugely underrated 🤘🏻 #anthrax #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Rubicon ‘What Starts, Ends’ (Beggar’s Banquet, 1992) Post-McCoy Nephs with Andy Delaney on vocals. Some good ideas but the Cult-isms are a bit OTT at times. The brothers Wright fared better latterly in Last Rites 🌙 #rubicon #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Gothsky

Just finished this on Shudder - so good!

#NowPlaying Cruachan ’Tuatha Na Gael’ (Nazgûl’s Eyrie Productions, 1995) Irish pagan metal with a good dose of trad present. Beautiful artwork too 🔥⚔️🔥 #cruachan #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Domhain ’Nimue’ mini-album (These Hands Melt, 2023) Atmospheric doom/post-BM from Northern Ireland - perfectly captures the landscape, very stirring both musically and vocally. Highly recommended 🤘🏻 #domhain #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

Thin Lizzy commemorative stamps from the GPO 🍀🖤🍀 #thinlizzy #anpost

#NowPlaying Killing Joke ‘S/T’ LP (E.G., 1980) Another one introduced to me through Metallica’s ‘Garage Days’ EP way back when. Still releasing consistently brilliant music to this day, what a band 🖤 #killingjoke #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity

#NowPlaying Kneecap ‘Fine Art’ tricolour LP (Heavenly, 2024) Is brea liom e seo - suas na cinn maith 🇮🇪👊🏻🇮🇪 #kneecap #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #HipHopSky

#NowPlaying AC/DC ‘Highway to Hell’ - band 50th anniversary ‘Hellfire’ edition gold LP (Sony re-issue, 2024) ‘Touch Too Much’ is the best ever AC/DC song and I will not hear otherwise⚡️😉⚡️ #acdc #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #hardrockvinyl

#NowPlaying Candlemass ’Epicus Doomicus Metallicus’ red LP (Peaceville re-issue, 2021) Doom or be doomed… 🕯️💀🕯️ #candlemass #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

#NowPlaying Autopsy ’Mental Funeral’ gatefold LP (Peaceville re-issue, 2010) An OSDM classick. In the Grip of Winter indeed… 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻 #autopsy #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Metalsky

An anniversary and a birthday, always remembered 🖤💚

#NowPlaying Public Enemy ‘Fear Of A Black Planet’ LP (Def Jam, 1990) Chuck D is the GOAT. Hardest Ever 💣 #publicenemy #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #HipHopSky

#NowPlaying Creeper ‘Sanguivore’ purple LP (Spinefarm, 2023) Always had a real soft spot for Creeper’s grandiose goth-punk (think Steinman-era Sisters with added AFI and rock opera bombast). One of the UK’s best rock bands now 🦇⚰️🌙⚰️🦇 #creeper #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Gothsky

Fantastic Clannad feature on ‘Legend’ in the new Prog magazine 🌳🤘🏻🌳

#NowPlaying Lankum ‘False Lankum’ gatefold 2LP (Rough Trade, 2023) So much power and grace, the future of Irish folk is in good hands 🇮🇪 ✊🏻 🇮🇪 #lankum #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Folksky

#NowPlaying All About Eve ’S/T’ LP (Mercury, 1988) A flawless album, one that I always reach for perennially. Julianne’s priceless voice on songs that capture the essence of nature is sonic bliss 🌳🍎🌳 #allabouteve #firstpress #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #Gothsky

Nosferatu was just beautiful - justice done to the Murnau and Herzog legacy, perfectly rendered 🖤
