Aye, that one is also cool.
Bronchoscopy isn't my favourite thing to assist with, but I've seen enough to be familiar with it. Nobody likes the lidocaine on the vocal cords. 🤮
I lost access to my main account and I am an idiot and had used a different email because I didn’t think I’d stick here and well, I don’t remember the email or the password LOL. So this will be my main account now. I was @not-ur-mary.bsky.social
Ashen Knight - power metal
Destroying Angel - female fronted death metal
Hairy Curtain - glam parody band, bit like Steel Panther
Satan's Bolete - black metal
Trompette des Morts - french avant-garde weirdness, bit like Gojira
Twisted Deceiver - symphonic prog metal
One or two, for sure. 🤣
Zero alcohol beers all day for us. Even had a hot chocolate in the hotel bar when we got back for a nightcap.
Behemoth were outfuckingstanding.
A spanker of an album. 😍
#NowPlaying Mark Morton - Without the Pain, 2025
Lamb of God this ain't.
Cool and groovy this is.
#NowPlaying Rotting Christ - 35 Years of Evil Existence Live, 2025
Getting myself revved up for Saturday while I'm doing some gardening.
When your on-call cut off time passes and you can finally relax.
Guinness Zero, still off the booze.
#NowPlaying Frantic Amber - Death Becomes Her, 2025
In fairness, I was expecting some sort of St. Anger style shenanigans with the band name, but I got some very nice all girl melodeath.
Tidy.
#NowPlaying Buried Realm - The Dormant Darkness, 2025
Dear god...
Another outstanding release from the insanely talented Josh Dummer with some choice guest artists.
Yep, my body clock is a bitch too. My ethos is that if I get up early on a day off it means I'll be more tired later than if I had a lie-in and will get myself to bed earlier tonight so I'm better rested getting up for work at 5am tomorrow.
And I get to drink more tea.
#NowPlaying Warfield - With The Old Breed, 2025
Absolutely banging blackened thrash.
What a way to start a Sunday morning!
#NowPlaying Allegaeon The Ossuary Lens, 2025
Initially I wasn't convinced, but it just got better and better. Insanely complex technical blackened prog death with some outrageous guitarwork.
Pummelling.
#NowPlaying Benediction - Ravage of Empires, 2025
Take Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Lamb of God and Slayer, throw them into a big sack, shake them up and what pours out at the end will sound just like this.
Banging.
I don't think I've ever been to Brixham, but I have been to Devon and it's lovely. Just don't mention scones.
My favourite book.
Why, in the name of all that is logical, did I pick up an extra shift on the morning the clocks went forward? 😭
Mind-blowing.
And again today. 😃

I'm sorry, have I skipped a couple of days? Is it April 1st already?
#NowPlaying Colliding Worlds - This World Shall Fall, 2025
I know we all interpret things differently, but this really gets me thinking like if Vangelis did the Blade Runner soundtrack but got Opeth and Rotting Christ on board as collaborators.
Wondrously cinematic death prog insanity.
I was a three this morning too. 😍
> has a style all its own, and being a huge Rotting Christ/SepticFlesh fan, this is right up my street. Expansive, melodic and oh so very dark, this is absolutely delicious.
> are, to find this gem. Normally I'm very picky with genres, I tend to not bother with certain ones unless I get a particular recommendation, so this week is completely blind. This goes hard from the start and is some supremely cultured black metal, from where else? Greece. Hellenic black metal >
#NowPlaying Lucifer's Child - The Illuminant, 2025
Since @kmanriffs.bsky.social is taking some well deserved downtime, it's left to me to research the new releases for #FFFMar28, so imagine my surprise going through this week's list with no idea where any of the bands are from or what genre they >
> what you'd end up with that. It's all that and so very much more. Endless riffery, bonkers songs, and while it's dripping with cheese, it's massively enjoyable with some very excellent shred guitars.
Seriously, if you love metal and wildly differing influences, you will love this.
