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…

Stand Red Hungry a Psychosocial Rebel – Music of January 2023

Welcome to the first edition of 2023! I decided to start writing this on Sunday since I was scheduled for a shift on the actual last day of this month so here we go. This month's songs are filled with nostalgia and emotion for me so it's going to be interesting. Some of the songs…

What I Listened to in 2022

It's that time of year again. People are letting an app track what they listen to and show them what they listened to the most by the final month of the calendar year. Meanwhile, I am sitting over here all old school letting my brain decipher from my own library of records to determine what…

Soldier Arcane of One Perfect December – Music of October 2022

Happy Halloween! Unfortunately, I don't get much of a Halloween this year because I was working night shifts right around the time of the celebration so I made up for it by getting into the spooky spirit all month long. (well I do that every year anyway). I am playing so many games right now…

Word Hellraiser and a Superbeast’s POV Souls – Music of September 2022

It's autumn and it's the end of another month. I had a lot happen in September, I travelled for the first time in two years and played some new games so there's a lot going on for me. I also have been discovering new bands and all of the shows that I watch are coming…

Brütal Legend – The Power of Metal Against Evil

This game was made for me, wrapped like a present under the Christmas tree with a golden ribbon tied in a neat bow. Why do I say that? Because it has two things I love in one package: fighting demons and heavy metal! I actually finished this game on Jack Black's birthday which was quite…

Want a Ride Razor Girl?

I've been having a daydream lately that still won't appear in my nightly dreams, it's been happening ever since I started playing Brutal Legend. In one of the side missions in this game after you take the beer kegs to the beach, one of the Headbangers there will complain to Eddie that he wants to…
