#NeObliviscaris are one of my recent addictions. Just got a copy of their first album on vinyl. MDM from Australia 🇦🇺 with a violin. It's an amazing album, but if you've got 12 minutes to spare, give "And plague flowers the kaleidoscope" a listen, so much going on in that track, I absolutely love it!

Magical Auroras in Calgary tonight! I can't remember seeing reds like this in quite some time!

Views from the Bow Valley Parkway during a fall bike ride in Banff. What an amazing country 🇨🇦

My copy of the new album from #Blackbraid arrived today. Wonderfully creative Indigenous black metal. I really loved the textures of Blackbraid II. So far, so good on Blackbraid III.

A little #Fallujah to kick off the long weekend. Their new release Xenotaph is really strong. Got to see a couple of the band members guesting with Obscura and Born of Osiris earlier this year. Hopefully there will be a chance to see them preforming their own stuff soon.

Finally getting a chance to spin the new album from #RiversOfNihil. This self-titled release gives a nice overview of all their styles from their previous releases. And yes, the saxophone is still there 🎷

Finally found a vinyl copy of one of my all-time favorite albums, "In Absentia" from #PorcupineTree. Lots of great tracks, but Trains is a classic and the acoustic guitar section sounds so clear, as if Steven Wilson was right there in the room playing it just for you.

Celebrating the Prince of Darkness with his final album, the Grammy-winning Patient Number 9. The lead-off track "Immortal" is strangly prophetic, as while we're all only on this spinning rock for a while, it is our legacy that makes us immortal, and few have left a legacy quite like #Ozzy

In honor of #BastilleDay, spinning some classic Rush. The lead-off track of Caress of Steel is "Bastille Day". Good track, but "The Necromancer" that ends side 1 and "The Fountain of Lamneth" that takes up all of side 2 are standout tracks for me.

Time to give the new #Ghost album a spin. The first track is giving off lots of 80's guitar rock vibes. Catchy, albeit a bit lighter than my usual fare. Let's see how the rest goes! 👻

A little Dutch Symphonic Metal to start June. Design Your Universe from #Epica. Very much a "Beauty and the Beast" style for the vocals, and Simone Simons is an amazing singer for the Beauty part of that equation .... what control and range!

Quote from Clarence Darrow, the lead defense lawyer during the Scope Monkey Trials (1925). Feels like something was lost over the last 100 years. 😔

Was lucky enough to see #Obscura last week on the Shredfest tour. Picked up this copy of their new album A Sonication. Special treat was a couple members from the Prog Metal band Fractal Universe who opened the show filled in. Guess there's some drama going on there, but the show still rocked!

Isn't that gorgeous? I'm pretty m'eh about the trend for fancy vinyl ... but this one is really beautiful!

Tonight felt like a great night for some Opera, the new album from #FleshgodApocalypse. (Be warned, this isn't your grandmother's opera ... probably) And this has to be about the most beautiful vinyl I've seen. Well done!

Tonight it's the new album "Sleepless Empire" from #LacunaCoil 🇮🇹. Was wonderful to see them last week and to pick up their album at the show. And of course, being the sleep researcher that I am, gotta love that album title 😁

In Flames! I'm seeing them play tonight with Lacuna Coil and Machine Head. As a scientist who studies time, the hourglass on the shirt spoke to me!

As a cat owner and a Chronobiologist, I wonder if Garfield really hated Monday's. With his owner likely to sleep in a bit on the weekends, and Garfield being so food focused, I'd think the delayed weekend breakfasts due to a tired owner sleeping in would be a bigger worry for Garfield.

Turns out that Timewave Zero by #BloodIncantation was the perfect choice to enjoy with a Sunday morning coffee. Unlike their follow-up album, which sounds like a death metal version of Pink Floyd, this album is pure ambient spacey music, no guitars or vocals. Lots of "Boards of Canada" vibes!
