The amount of times this year has felt like a repeated kick in the balls is beginning to get ridiculous.
Something to be happy about in the new year...

Brave Murder Day turns 30
Last Fair Deal Gone Down turns 25
The Great Cold Distance turns 20
The Fall of Hearts turns 10

And the 40th anniversary of the best metal year ever.

Spinning this one for Mieszko. Gone but never forgotten.

Had to snap this before I left for work this morning.

30 years of Slaughter of the Soul. This one's for you, Tompa.

Not to mention in 5 of those 7 games, the Rangers have been shut out. It's become laughable at this point.
"Have you won a home game yet this season?"

Not sure if there's a band out there today that can match the sheer heaviness of Primitive Man.

A small sampling of my Sweden trip. What an incredible time it was!

I can't thank my buddies in Birdflesh enough for the great hospitality.

Met so many cool people. Between sharing beers, talking music, talking hockey, I really felt so much at home.

Gonna remember this trip for a very long time!

Seeing Birdflesh in their hometown! Awesome time!

Visited the Småland Museum today. Some pretty cool Ozzy and Lemmy sculptures there!

Finally made it to Sweden. I don't know how the hell I've been able to function considering I've been awake for about 24 hours...

Started off with some lunch with my buddy Elis. On the way to Växjö to see some hockey, some sights, and a Birdflesh gig in the coming days!

Kiss was my first musical love, and Ace Frehley was my first musical hero. A huge part of my childhood is now gone. RIP.

If only they could score a goal on home ice...

Well, this sucks...

The cocktail is called Paradise Lost, so you bet your ass is was ordering it! A smoky and spicy cocktail.
September 22, 2025 at 12:18 AM
Happy Paradise Lost release day to all who are celebrating!

Ugh, what awful news to wake up to today. RIP Tompa.

Surprisingly, I came to with this idea, not my wife. The cats were less than thrilled as you can see.

RIP Ken Dryden. An all time great.

If you're a hockey fan, his book "The Game" is a must read.

I wish I could find the interview he did a few years back on MSG Network. It was maybe a half hour from what I remember, but I could've listened to him talking hockey for hours on end.

You can always count on Primitive Man to bring the heaviness!
