@comicbooknerduk.bsky.social
Comics, death metal, thrash, and collectables. Just an 80s kid nerd talking about comics & metal albums. 🤟 Always looking for recommendations of new death metal/thrash bands to listen to.
I love embossing on the cover of comics, especially when it's done as well as the amazing lettering on the cover of Diva Satanica from @afterlightcomics.bsky.social
The whole cover is a work of art.
#MyComicBooks2025 672, Diva Satanica. Well, @afterlightcomics.bsky.social continues to mess me up in delightful, beautiful ways...

Watching Amon Amarth Live at Wacken 2012 on YouTube. A solid set, AA blast through it like the vikings they are.

Listening to Bolt Thrower - War Master to start the new year. This was another album I had on tape that has long since disappeared into the unknown.
Happy New Year, everyone. I think the whole world is in 2026 now.

Listening to Disfear - Everyday Slaughter (1997). Brutal D beat/hardcore with a little bit of death metal elements thrown in for good measure.
December 31, 2025 at 4:43 PM
Listening to Dismember - Indecent and Obscene. Brutal Swedish death metal from 1993.
December 30, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Listening to Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos.
This was the album that started me listening to heavier music, although I had no idea it was death metal.
I was on holiday in Greece at the start of the 90s and found a tape shop. I saw the Warhammer 40K cover and picked it up and was immediately obsessed

Picked up a Dissection - The Somberlain patch for my jacket. Sewing can wait until the New Year.

Listening to Unleashed- Across The Open Sea (1993). A little more subdued power wise than their first two albums.
December 29, 2025 at 10:04 AM
Finishing the day off with Disfear - Soul Scars. Anti war hardcore/D beat onslaught.
December 28, 2025 at 5:34 PM
Listening to Hetsheads - We Hail The Possessed from 1994, a collection of their demos/promos from 1991. A mix of fast-paced songs and some slower sludgy/doom type tracks. Production is what you would expect from demo tapes and makes for some nostalgic listening, I was poised to flip the tape over.

Listening to Those Who Bring The Torture's self-titled debut album from 2011 because there isn't enough Rogga Johansson music in my life. This is the darkest music I've heard from him. More Florida death metal akin to Cannibal Corpse vocally and lyrically.
December 28, 2025 at 2:45 PM
@aubzagl.bsky.social are playing two gigs in the New Year in Nottingham or Oldham. Both are free entry.
First two gigs of 2026. Both free entry.

@soulfracture.bsky.social
Leeds based Soulfracture returned last month, after a 17 year hiatus, with their The Leader of The Exploited EP.
A blasting mix of melodic death metal and thrash. Fingers crossed there will be a new full length soon.
Available on Bandcamp and other streaming platforms.

Listening to Ribspreader- Rotten Rhymes and Rancid Rants (A Collection of Undead Spew). 18 songs in 34 minutes, so perfect little blasts of rottenness and unpleasantness.
December 28, 2025 at 10:24 AM
Listening to At The Gates - Gardens of Grief EP. Released Jan 1st 1991 so just about to turn 25. Blasting, brutal death metal. A perfect blend of what ATG would go on to create on With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness mixed with their previous Grotesque incantation

Listening to Paganizer - Scandinavian Warmachine (2008). More crunchy, honest to goodness, Swedish death metal from Rogga Johansson and co. My only negative about this album is the cover which looks like early 21st-century computer technology rather than the usual brutal artwork of Paganizer covers.

Forgot my Christmas t shirt for the family get together tonight. Sleigher. From an outdoor market stall near you.
December 25, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Christmas pressies. Got At The Gates - The Nightmare of Being on vinyl and an ATG Slaughter of the Soul t shirt
December 25, 2025 at 12:58 PM
Merry Christmas, everyone. Hope Santa was kind to you. Have a safe and happy day.
December 25, 2025 at 12:40 PM
Not long now, until Santa arrives. So time for one last album.
Listening to Entombed - Left Hand Path. Masterpiece is the only word.
December 24, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Listening to Cryptorium - Descent Into Lunacy (2024). Blistering death metal for fans of Entombed and Dismember. This is old-school Stockholm buzzsaw death metal with guttural vocals. Nice mix of straight ahead death and more atmospheric.

Currently reading Extremity Retained - Notes From The Death Metal Underground by Jason Netherton. Short, snappy interviews with US and European figures within the death metal community about the early days of their careers/bands and tape trading/fanzine. Some great pics of flyers etc.

Remember all comic creators and fans, as well as school children, Batman has an important message for us all at Christmas time.
No word from Robin yet on whether he did actually lay an egg.
