Watched Commando with Arnie and Rae Dawn Chong. It still holds up as an amazing film 40 years later, peak Arnie. Made all the better by me shouting, "Get him to the chopper," every 5 minutes for no reason.
There was a scene I don't remember. Arnie hides in a shed from the rebels. 1/2

Listening to Dead Sun - Night Terrors. Another great album from Rogga Johansson with a less aggressive vocal style and a lot more melodic guitars.

The other record in the lost parcel, which i now have, is Ribspreader - Bolted To The Cross. Some more epic brutality from Rogga Johansson and crew.

Here's the next pile of patches to go onto the jacket.
Slayer
2 x Municipal Waste
Carnage
Dead Sun
Ribspreader
Paganizer
Unleashed
These should almost finish the back of the jacket off. I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to do much on the front yet.

Lamb of God announced new album Into Oblivion will release on March 13th. Listened to the title track today. They have made their sound a lot heavier and the vocals more growling than their recent albums
I miss the day when a band would announce a physical single, then I could go and buy the 7"

Listening to Casket - Unearthed (2017). German death metal. Great growling vocals that don't go over into grunting. A solid wall of guitars and drums.

Listened to Rogga Johansson - Dreaming The Otherwhere. I've had this on my listening pile since November when it was released, but I can't believe it's taken until now to listen to it.
This is pure melodic death metal that is the signature of Rogga.

Eye of Purgatory have their new album Darkborne releasing on February 13th, so that's now 3 in 2 weeks got Rogga Johannson, this time working with Taylor Nordberg of Deicide and Jeramie Kling of Inhuman Condition. Expect more brutality and buzzsaw guitars.

Listened to Floating - Hesitating Lights. The bio described it as post punk death metal. Tried to think what it reminded me of. I can only say Joy Division with a double bass drum and guttural vocals. Was OK for a change of pace but not really my cup of tea.

Watched the Stranger Things Season 5 documentary - One Last Adventure.
It's an amazing documentary and gives great focus on all of the different background departments who helped make the series as well as the main actors. Love seeing them make real scale models and not using VFX as much as possible

Short walk today, so listened to Eldfödd - Beyond The Fire demo. Two blistering death metal tracks from early in 2025 clocking in at just over 10 minutes.

Listened to Feral / Crawl split Made As Those Who Are No Longer Alive. 2 tracks from each band. Fast paced Swedish death metal with a guitar rhythm leaning into some hardcore beat down grooves. Hunt this one out on Bandcamp it is definitely worth it.

I was supposed to be getting Amon Amarth and Ribspreader albums as well, but they haven't shown up. I asked the seller for the tracking number, but they didn't have one. They refunded the payment without any questions. So either lost in post or record store didn't post them in the first place.

Final one unwrapped Grotesque - In The Embrace of Evil. Double LP, gatefold sleeve. I thought it was damaged as the inside of the gatefold has loads of fleck marks, but it looks like intentional ageing printed into the colour.

It's snowing in the UK. If you head out to the woods quietly, you might get to observe Black Metal bands in their natural habitat.
