Riffs, blast beats, coffee and cigars. Varkensstad is my music project and I’m probably a poser.

Listened to some Hulder last night then watched the Netflix Devil May Cry show. I was not impressed. It had some okay elements (the action, the villain) but overall it was a let down and was DMC in name only. Alternate universes are fine but this felt like bad fan fiction.

Me: “I can’t spend anymore money from this pay”

Cradle of Filth: “the fuck you can’t…”

Finished up Shoresy (season 4 was much better than 3) and got caught up on Daredevil: Born Again (finally some Daredevil in the Daredevil show) now patiently awaiting the season 3 finale of Reacher.

Goatwhore - Constricting Rage of the Merciless

Fucking riff fest, riff lord Sammy Duet with Erik Rutan producing, it’s basically a guaranteed win. This album pummels you like you owe it money.

Explorer is 99.9% done, gotta cut a pick guard but I had one in a box that’ll work for now. Not a perfect fit but honestly, it looks kinda cool so maybe I’ll roll with it. I devalued this guitar a ton but I bought it to play it not sit in a fucking case for 30 years.

Imagine saying this when you’re opening for Disturbed in 2025.

New Cradle of Filth is pretty good. I had a longer post but I keep getting some bullshit error.
March 21, 2025 at 10:21 PM
I’ll check it out just because the cover looks cool. I’m still kind of stuck in the 90s that way.

I like Ghost but I can still chuckle at this.

Much better.

I really want this to be an album announcement.

I think we all know one guy that has screams in the key of EEEEEEEEEEEEE

People can say what they will about Slaughter to Prevail but the guitar player (I don’t know his name) and ESP working with Make a Wish is some wholesome shit that I can give props to.

That perfect moment when the sun is going down where there’s just enough light to see.

Kinda missed the mark since it’s not St. Patrick’s day today but it was too damn cold out last night to smoke this.

Jade - The Pacification of Death

If you haven’t given it a listen you should. It’s a big sounding record that moves some serious air when played through speakers at volume and really lends to their atmospheric doomy melodic death metal.

Finished Jon Padgett’s The Secret of Ventriloquism and it was pretty good. Some of the stories are better than others but none were terrible. The Infusorium, Murmurs of a Voice Forknown, and 20 Simple Steps to Ventriloquism were my favorites.

Oof, tough call because I get where he’s coming from but I understand both sides of this.

All my guitar projects are currently in limbo because nobody can fuck deliver shit when they say they are but this Arrow was a long time coming. Love the guitar but the black hardware and black EMGs just felt muted on such a nice finish. Chrome works much better.

Sitting outside having a Blackened M81 and listening to the owls, so glad the weather is warming up.

Sure, it’s been 4,992 days since A Dance With Dragons released.

But it’s been 18,187 days since the Flyers last won a Stanley Cup.

Things can always be worse.

“I have to get back. I have to finish the books. That's the one thing I'm completely in control of. There's no budget limitations ... no [studio] execs that I have to please ... And, I think the one I'm writing is coming pretty well, but I wish it would come faster”
