Shivers Golden and Clean Wide for Peaches Music of May 2023

That's a wrap on May, my birth month, and on the 7th, that's right, I turned the big 3-0. To some people hitting 30 is a milestone. But for me it's just a number. I'm still the same person with the same passions, dreams, goals, etc. To hell with anyone that says by the age…

Overkill – Tear the Damage and Clean

Ready for another Motörhead album review? I certainly am! I thought it was time to acquire a few more albums by this legendary band, so I ran a poll on Mastodon to get some opinions since Motörhead's discography is so vast, it's difficult to know where to begin or go next. I mean, the first…

Screemwriters Guild Unleashed

It's been a long time since Lordi started a new era. During covid, the band put out a whopping seven albums, and I fell behind in the discography, perhaps from being overwhelmed by the new content and the fact that the last album was a disappointment sans a few songs. As usual, what I like…

Darkness Bomber of Jayne 1916 Green – Music of April 2023

Why does April have to be a month of misfortunes for me? Last year it was my Instagram being hacked and this year I hurt my left thumb and began to experience episodes of sharp pain and inflammation. I went to my physiotherapist who gave me treatment and exercises to help it feel better and…

Hell’s Hearts Call Music Invictus – Music of March 2023

It's been a pretty interesting month and I spent a lot of it taking Motörizer to the shop and back to fix little things that need some TLC. Yes, I'm calling my first car Motörizer, which makes a great Autobot name, and Motörhead references are unbeatable. As soon as I get a day off and…

The Wonders Still Awaiting – Stories of Worlds Reborn

Not only did we get a new album from Delain early in the year but Xandria, too. This just keeps getting better. Xandria was also a band that I thought was done for, but unlike Delain, they didn't completely split and get a bunch of new members. Xandria did change singers again, bringing in Ambre…

Dark Waters – Paradise Beneath A Flame

Delain is back with a brand new lineup and new music and I was really optimistic about it since I enjoyed the sound and Diana's voice from the first single. I bought the album right away and I think the sound is a lot heavier than the last album that I listened to which was…

Two Impossible Bullets and Sweet Moth – Music of February 2023

It's another month gone and the biggest highlight for me this month is I purchased my first car which I love. It feels good to be able to get around more easily as before I was just walking, taking the bus or getting a lift which is more time-consuming. You can imagine a lot of…

My Favourite Metal Mascots

I love talking about all things metal and now it's time to share another aspect that I love about the genre. While I love some bands that have a strong visual image like KISS, Lordi, Ghost, GWAR, etc. there are also bands that don't dress up on stage, but they do have a mascot that…

Parade With Freaks

I should have had more faith in times like these. But now 2023 is off to a great start. You see, I haven't been to any concerts in three years (not counting some of the virtual ones I've been to), not just due to the pandemic, but also when concerts started to resume, there was…
