The brothers always have great reactions to RATM. There's a highlight video of black people reacting to 'Down Rodeo' and every time they have to pause the clip, eyes get as big as dinner plates and say something along the lines of "What the fuck did he just say?" when Zack hits the opening lines.

November 29, 20232 yr Don't know if this is worth posting here, but Metal Blade is having a pretty good vinyl sale.
November 29, 20232 yr Just recently bough the new Tomb Mold and Coliseum on Vinyl, need to slow my role a bit.

December 1, 20232 yr 60+ year old Tommy Victor still rocking out with Prong. This song sounds like it could have easily come out back in the mid-90's, alongside "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" Edited December 1, 20232 yr by Storm the Field
December 31, 20231 yr Haven't listened to a lot of heavy music this year. Did go through some best of lists, not a ton grabbed me that I had not check out already. However back in April I definitely missed this work of art. What a beautiful heavy album. Really moving good stuff.
January 28, 20241 yr seems to be close to @Longhorn_Fan68's wheelhouse. "tech slam" I've enjoyed the album a few times even though I don't think I understand one single word of it. Edited January 28, 20241 yr by MC Fresh Breath
January 28, 20241 yr Met some metal heads in Fredericksburg this weekend who loved Dissection. Specifically the album “Storm of the Light’s Bane”. I gave it a whirl. Not bad. Not mind bending, but I’ll give it a 7 on Biff’s Metal Meter.

I arrived and discovered Tommy Victor and Ted Parsons waiting for me at the studio. Tommy Victor was either just in a bad mood or the biggest asshole "rock star" I ever interviewed (porque no los dos?). Ted Parsons just smirked the whole time. I do enjoy Force Fed, Primitive Origins, Beg to Differ and Prove You Wrong, but that always left a bad taste.

I like their first album better. the second album was way too bass guitar-forward for me and at time sounds more like acid jazz than metal. but I still dig those guys and have seen them play twice this style is starting to creep into my rotation more. not really sure what they call it, but I'd start with muddy slam. anyway, it's sludgy and awesome

Found it on a lot of best of 2023 lists. Will check out the muddy slam. In the meantime, some 'blackened thrash' found on a bandcamp list:
January 29, 20241 yr man if a LOT of Wormhole hasn't come across my mix today. the bots are on to us!
January 31, 20241 yr Blood Red Throne appears to have done it again. I'm only 2 minutes in and i can already feel safe recommending the whole album. Continuous greatness from these guys
February 2, 20241 yr good goddamn I'm old. was just jamming along to this new band and decided to check out their metal-archives page. they're a pair a danish 16-year-olds.

February 8, 20241 yr So much good shit comes from 20 Buck Spin. New Hulder and Civerous drop in the next couple months as well.
February 9, 20241 yr man, Acranius is quickly becoming one of my top bands. they started off a little choppy early in their career but have really honed their craft and they just put out banger after banger. love everything about them. their vocalist is likely my ideal when it comes to my brand of metal. growly and brutal but you can actually understand him. I still love me some cookie monster vocals, but I appreciate when someone can growl through the words.
February 9, 20241 yr This one has gone in my gym rotation. Just good old fashioned down-tuned death metal out of Dallas, with a pair of guest solos by Matt Heafy of Trivium. Edited February 9, 20241 yr by Storm the Field

My old ass will be there. Stoked to see Peelingflesh again too
February 10, 20241 yr Never got into Incantation much when they started out, but I've been digging them a lot during the last 5 years or so.
February 11, 20241 yr catching up on work and have a good mix going. reminded of these two bands that I need to check out more from:
February 13, 20241 yr On this date in 1970 this motherfucker was released and heavy metal was born. Nobody in the band was older than 21, and they followed this with Paranoid just 7 months later.

And the chick on the cover of their first album looks like she’d give you a disease if you got friendly with her, but it would probably be worth it.
February 22, 20241 yr Blessings to you Matt Pike. That is the stuff, always. Apple Music Link: https://music.apple.com/us/album/burning-down/1729249506?i=1729249853

February 23, 20241 yr Yeah I on purpose didn't post the video b/c the visuals imo distract from the music.

The surviving members of Power Trip just announced they're getting back together, and the singer from Fugitive will be their new frontman. Power Trip is back, baby! Here's some fun footage from a surprise reunion they did at a Fugitive show in Austin back in December. Edited February 23, 20241 yr by Storm the Field
February 23, 20241 yr Revisiting some classic Dutch DM: Who else is going to Hells Heroes next month in Houston?
