Urne are probably the best Metal band the UK has produced in years. So looking forward to the new album.

I had a yellow one. Great fun bikes. The center gear stick was revolutionary but woe betide if you tried changing gear at any sort of speed.

Todays Heavy Metal attire.
Uriah Heep Abominog.
One of my favourites from the band. Pete Goalby's vocals are immense. A stunning album as far as im concerned.

Well blow me down with the old proverbial.
Another cycling commuter on my train this morning. It was the same person as Friday that was running late.
In the past year I can count on one hand how many other cycling commuters that have taken this train.

The days are getting shorter and darker. Not long until the clocks go back. 😟 A short respite in the mornings. But for the next few months, it's back to cycle commuting in the dark.

‘Chuck was breaking beer bottles over his own head’: thrash metal legends Testament on 40 years of mayhem
After their lead singer shed his glam rock spandex, the band became rivals to thrash’s Big Four. Still releasing potent high-octane riffage, they retread their path through cancer scares and jazz detours

Way back then when I was in my teens, I think I spent more time staring at the sleeve then actually listening to the music. But having a listen to it today, it does have some great tunes and classic Michael Schenker guitar licks and riffs.
