I love many kinds of music but especially hard rock, heavy metal, progressive rock/metal, all eras of country and Americana. Discovering new music and artists through like-minded people is why I’m here.

Savatage. “Hounds.” Aug 26, 1990. Jezebel’s, Anaheim CA. Criss Oliva’s guitar work before his untimely passing is of course legendary, but it’s on Gutter Ballet where he really let loose — solos & fills throughout, just like in this outro here.

👑MOUNTAIN KINGS2⃣1⃣4⃣👑
Submission: KIX - Blow My Fuse 🇺🇸 (1988)
High-energy Glam Rock album packed with swagger and hooks, BMF blends sleazy attitude with polished songwriting. Its mix of party anthems and melodic depth made it a standout in the late ’80s scene. #MK214👑
New album review! 💥 buff.ly/qYQ8iiw MORON POLICE - PACHINKO
A diamond carved from chaos that truly shines bright. I’m absolutely besotted with this album, topping my AOTY list. Grief, absurdity & fearless creativity explode, with the brilliant ‘Pachinko Pt.1' as an undeniable masterpiece.
In the event it went unnoticed ...™️

EXVAMON Odyssey of Fate (7/11/2025)
Excellent debut full-length studio effort by the Visalia, California metallers! Fast and furious power metal. FFO: DragonForce, Cellador, Crimson Shadows.
Stream: open.spotify.com/album/2EOpbw...
Michael Romeo | Symphony X. “Sea of Lies.” 1996. Avoid if you hate neo-classical guitar shred.

Submission: VAIN - No Respect 🇺🇸 (1989)
A swaggering blast of late 80s Glam Metal grit, NR blends killer riffs, streetwise hooks, and raw charisma that sets it apart from the era’s glossier acts. Has there ever been a more apt record title? #MK184👑

👑MOUNTAIN KINGS 1⃣7⃣3⃣👑
Submission: C.O.C - Deliverance 🇺🇸 (1994)
Blending sludgy Southern riffs with a newfound groove and Pepper Keenan’s gritty vocals, this album marked a bold reinvention for C.O.C. Paved the way for groove-lade Southern Metal heaviness! #MK173👑
👑MOUNTAIN KINGS 1⃣7⃣4⃣👑
Submission: ACCEPT - Restless and Wild 🇩🇪 (1982)
Kicking down the door with speed and fury, R & W is Accept at their most primal and hungry. A trailblazing signpost for Heavy and Speed Metal, it also lit the fuse for the Thrash and Power Metal!#MK174👑

Submission: IRON MAIDEN - Powerslave 🇬🇧 (1984)
5 albums in and Dicko in full flight, PS found IM at their most grand and ambitious - Egyptian-themed imagery became iconic, while the tour behind it pushed live Metal production to new heights. #MK161👑

BRENT HINDS 🇺🇸 51
Sorry to hear of the sudden and tragic loss of the former Mastodon member. Sadly, it's not fake news!
Responsible for the emergence of modern Progressive Sludge/Alt Metal in the early 2000's, Hinds was the torchbearer. #BrentHinds #RIP #KMäN
👑MOUNTAIN KINGS 1⃣4⃣2⃣👑
Submission: KING'S X - Gretchen Goes to Nebraska 🇺🇸 (1989)
GGTN deepened King’s X’s fusion of heavy riffs, intricate harmonies, and spiritual lyricism. Hailed as their creative peak, it became a touchstone for ’90s Prog and Alt Metal bands! #MK142👑
1984. A vintage year so fine, the diversity in styles & sounds really started to splinter off — and one could even argue that several of these bands actually peaked right here, including some of the debut albums.

The scumbag that hacked the original account is still up to his bullshit scamming antics. The DMs are not from me. Look for this current avatar and you'll know the difference! Apologies to all who are being hassled. Block. Report. Not that any of will help. Fuck. Sake.

1982. Metal takes flight. Number of the Beast defines ‘traditional’ metal as we know it today, Mercyful Fate worship at satan’s altar, Accept lay the groundwork for speed metal, Twisted Sister pay homage to old Priest while new Priest scream for vengeance, and Manowar put USPM on the map.

Submission: RAZOR - Evil Invaders 🇨🇦(1985)
A blistering speed/thrash assault that helped define Canada's early Metal scene. Its influence echoes in countless Thrash and Speed Metal bands that followed. Also, the inimitable 'Sheepdog' on vocals!#MK136👑

OZZY OSBOURNE 🇬🇧76
Mere days after BTTB, The Prince of Darkness has taken his final bow-leaving behind a legacy that reshaped the very soul of Heavy Metal. The world grew louder, darker, and more alive because of him. Long live the Madman!
@OzzyOsbourne #RIP #KMäN
So many great songs but I listened to The Ultimate Sin on repeat while driving home from work after hearing about Ozzy today.

Ozzy’s gone. The timing of his final appearance with Black Sabbath is remarkable. A true legend. Will be thinking about this a lot… he was my gateway into metal. Bark at the Moon was one of the first albums I ever bought.
