Running a 10k, but make it metal.
Me crossing the finish line, with both my arms raised with the horns. I am looking angry, straight into the camera, with my tongue out and down. The others around me just try to cross the finish line without any attempt of shenanigans.

Sounds like these developers are living their best lives.

Text that says: Staying small also meant eschewing the production practices commonplace at many game-development studios. “What is Jira?” Gibson said when I asked if they used the task-management application. “Is it a software?” Pellen said, adding that they’d briefly used Trello before their account was deactivated because they didn’t use it enough.

Another Vintersorg single released this Friday. I'll be shocked if Vattenkrafternas Spel don't end up being one of my fav releases of this year. #metalsky #avantgardemetal
Single cover for the single "Efter dis kommer dimma" by Vintersorg. A painted bleak/winter landscape with a river to the left, some river rocks in the centre/right with a forest in the background.

I remember looking back at my 2024 listen list and went like "dang, that's a lot of bands with worm in their names". (Wormhole and Graveworm came out too early with their 2023 releases)

Listen, when it's 33C in Oslo over multiple days and you don't have AC, you just gotta improvise.

I knew those computer fans would come in handy one day.
My battle station. It has a big desk mat with a scary foresty vibe, and on top of it is a split keyboard (Halcyon Elora) with two wooden palm rests. There are also 7 fans on top of the desk mat, some 140mm, some 120mm, some black and some with the Noctua caramel/brown combination. At the right of the desk mat is a small black computer case, approximately 25 cm high and 17 cm wide. On top of the case sits an eight fan, which is 200mm and has the Noctua caramel/brown color as well. All the fans are on. The computer screen is put on top of a black monitor stand. The screen is off.

Forgot to mention it last Friday, but Impureza's new album Alcázares is so good if you like flamenco. (I like flamenco.)

Nobody expects the Spanish Reconquista.
The album cover for Alcázares by Impureza: It depicts a courtyard in an Alcázar, with four stone statues looking towards a sepulchre. The statues look kinda vikingy, though they're probably aimed to depict "hooded" knights. They all hold swords with both their hands right in front of them, tip pointing down. The lid of the sepulchre/sarcophagus is opened, and a vengeful ghostly conquistador comes out of it. Above the tower of the Alcázar is some sort of sky vortex, though the rest of the sky seems unaffected by its presence.

I must've missed today's releases, or there's nothing that interests me this release Friday. It feels like a @fleshvesseldm.bsky.social day, so "Yearning: Promethean Fates Sealed" it is.
Album art with no text on it. An "alien" world where hands with claw-like fingers come up from the ground. In the middle of the cover is a fissure, with teeth on both sides. Some of the hands seem to catch spirits that are falling from the sky, and some of the spirits are connected by a white string.

Today's album is Nightfall's Children of Eve. This one doesn't feel doomy, so melodic death/gothic?

Also, it's kinda interesting how you can hear it's a Greek growler from time to time. Bc. of accent, or perhaps the early 90s Greek black metal bands have this distinct quality to it?

#metalsky
Album cover for "Children of Eve" by Nightfall. It has a painted style. A woman with flowing hair embraces a red-toned/bloodied man with long hair with a fearful look. The man is part of a group of red-toned/bloodied men, the others looking more like they're in a rage or anguished. The image is set against a cloudy sky, the woman's hair looks like it melds with the sky.

Really enjoying Shadow of Intent's new release today #metalsky #deathcoresky
Cover art of Shadow of Intent's album Imperium Delirium. A green-tinged necropolis of headless knights, some with their heads in their hand, sword in another. There are stone stairs leading down to a towering "shining" skeletal figure.

Another one where Google's AI just can't. "An Insatiable Violence" was released last week, not this week. There's literally nothing in those link sources claiming it came out this week.

Like, this is surprisingly bad, I expected AI to do this without any trouble whatsoever.
Image from Google with the following text: AI-oversikt (Norwegian for AI summary) Several new metal albums and EPs were released this week, including works from Cryptopsy, Heaven Shall Burn, and Inhuman Condition. Additionally, there are upcoming releases from To The Grave, Aversions Crown, and Grand Cadaver in the coming weeks. Here's a more detailed look: This Week's New Releases (June 27, 2025): Cryptopsy: An Insatiable Violence Heaven Shall Burn: Heimat Inhuman Condition: Mind Trap

I'm gonna be speaking at @hellostavanger.no!

It's a talk about what (sometimes) happens when I type in my legal name into a website and click submit, versus what I actually want to happen. (It's probably not what you expect!)

Loving all these new AI summaries, they are so good and correct.

"Obsidian Ritual" and "Vomit Upon the Altar of God" are also my favourite Witch Club Satan songs, you should really look them up.

#metalsky #blackmetalsky
Screenshot of a Google search for `"you wildflower" witch club satan`. Two videos are the first results, named "Witch Club Satan - You Wildflower (Official Music Video)" and "YOU WILDFLOWER releases on Midsummer, night to the 24th ...". Then there's an AI summary that says the following: The song "You Wildflower" is not a known song by the band Witch Club Satan. Witch Club Satan is a feminist black metal band known for songs like "Obsidian Ritual" and "Vomit Upon the Altar of God", but they don't have a song titled "You Wildflower". It's possible there's a misunderstanding or the song is by a different artist. "Obsidian Ritual" and "Vomit Upon the Altar of God" are not titles of any Witch Club Satan songs.

New Vintersorg single you said? Don't mind if I do.

hi, capacitor expert here! this is not funny, capacitors only do this when they’re in extreme distress.

though this explains why one of my old HDDs suddenly didn't work anymore one day
The inside of a computer cabinet, with an exploded capacitor on the cabinet floor. On the right is an array of hot-swappable hard disk connectors, and the one at the bottom has only parts of the innards of a capacitor where one of the capacitors should be.

Easter always means Inferno, and this year we're starting out with Dødheimsgard. Couldn't be a better start on the festival I think.

I'm listening to some slower prog/avant-garde metal this release Friday: Otra by In the Woods...

Hard to pinpoint the genre, but if I had to say something succinct, I'd probably say goth rock/black'n roll with Borknagar-infused black metal and chrous.

#metalsky
Album cover for "Otra" by In the Woods... The album cover is sepia-toned, showing a weathered, vintage-style scene of a river flowing through a forested landscape. There's an old wooden boat grounded on some rocks, surrounded by scattered wooden planks and debris floating on the water.

Anyway, it's pretty and I like it.
A split keyboard with mostly white and grey keycaps, along with a few red ones. The layout is Colemak-DH, and the left side has a rotary encoder. The right side has a small trackpad left of the keys.

When does a keyboard hobby turn into an addiction? Asking for a me.
The left half of a partially constructed split keyboard. It is black with a couple of keyswitches inserted. In the background, a couple of screws and risers are stored in a lip cork coaster.
