    70000 Tons of Metal Review

    One does not simply go to 70000 Tons of Metal only once – be warned that once you go, you will most likely be returning. My world is still swaying as I write this, but I cannot wait to go again in 2026 (and hopefully many more after that). This metal festival at sea was…

  • Black Metal 2024

    Black Metal 2024

          The past year was quite honestly a problem. So many albums came out every week that were just flat out GOOD. I’m someone who will bail on something if it doesn’t keep my attention and while I did plenty of that this year I still managed to listen to probably around 350 BM Demo’s,…

  • Harakiri For The Sky – “Scorched Earth” Review

    Harakiri For The Sky – “Scorched Earth” Review

    Harakiri for the Sky is my favorite band. Not just recently, but all-time. Throughout my life I’ve likely listened to over a hundred thousand of hours of music, and throughout that entire journey, I’ve been on a constant hunt for bands and music that make me feel things. I’ve found many truly exceptional emotionally-driven bands,…
