Sometimes, when I discover a great album of a band I never listened to before, I don't dare to listen to their other stuff because I am afraid I won't like it.

Is it only me?

Here in the future we've clocked over to #BlackMetalMonday under the steady hand of @HailsandAles.. I'm listening to De Syv Dødssynder by Sakna.

Described as black / folk metal, it was recorded by one-man act Solemn before his death in 2011, but recently remixed and only released last week.

Good if you like your metal melodic with occasional washes of synth and even unexpected piano accordion.

For @loewe's #MusicWomenWednesday, here is Embrace Me, You Child by Carly Simon.

A tender and powerful song about the innocence of childhood and the loss of a parent. The production stands up so well, with layers of strings over a rock band supporting the expression of her amazing voice.

In the 1970s and 1980s she produced a string of brilliant albums, with songs steeped in love, sexuality, nostalgia, childhood, experience, regret and growing older.

That moment when a metalhead hangs their head and confesses to never having listened to a major band that has loads of belting material and they think you're gonna laugh.
Hell dude! I ain't gonna laugh, I'm stoked that I get to listen to it again with most new ears with you, and that you've given me an excuse to get all excited about them all over again 🎸

Plus we've all got 'holes' in our music knowledge, mine are so big I can't even see out of them. Haha!

I have a headache because of colleagues asking stupid questions at 9 am on a Friday. Need riffs

“A soul rendered void … abandoned you die in my arms”

I highly doubt this song will ever get the full band re-record treatment as it is over fifteen minutes long.

From my Voidtouched solo release, this is a song about my interpersonal horrors. I know I’m far from easy to love, work with, or even acknowledge and this work makes no allusions to anything otherwise.

A brutal song from a brutal release, this is “Apathy.”

I love this genre, where this is said in admiration:

"The true horror of metal at its darkest and most intense was only just beginning to reveal itself, and for those who allied themselves to the genre’s nascent dark side, the incremental discovery of what was possible and how far into the depths of the sonic abyss our favourite musicians could take us was an astonishing and compelling rollercoaster ride with no clear destination to anticipate."

I own all my favourite Maiden albums on vinyl apart from Number of the Beast because I own it on cassette and feel silly buying it again 🫣 #Metal #HeavyMetal

I haven't spent much time on Reddit over all, but I have dipped into some of the metal threads there over the last few weeks. It's made me again deeply grateful for the community here on #MetalheadClub, and the concentric circles of music fans around it.

None of boundary marking, and direct or implied challenges to like the "right" genres / bands / albums.

Instead a friendly and accepting atmosphere, and a shared love of the music. Thanks one and all.

I’ve torn down a lot of walls in the past six weeks. I bought a weighted stuffed frog to help me through flashbacks, and it is a real photogenic sort.

Believe it or not, I hadn't heard Safety Dance by Men Without Hats until @derthomas shared it as a wake up song one weekend. Now I hear it regularly irl and as an earworm 😉

Friends, ramens, Kahn tree men, I submit for your consideration: Iron Maiden with The Trooper

Algorithms get a justifiably bad press, but tonight the Yt algorithm gave me a fantastic piece of Indian folk metal.

A fantastic mix of styles from Bloodywood - Dana Dan

Leave work on Friday night, and what do I find on my way home but the new single from Judas Priest- Trial By Fire.

Perhaps not as instantly memorable as Panic Attack, but there's still a lot to like, and another reason to look forward to the new album.
