Damn this album is soo good. Anything but restful. In 'Rest', the band blends traditional doom elements with unexpected influences and instruments to create a sonically diverse and very ambitious album. It's an unpredictable listening experience that sets it apart from more conventional doom metal offerings.

Great to see such a turnout at the Cole Harbour cenotaph this morning despite the wet weather.

Soundgarden's 1988 debut album Ultramega OK is usually overlooked but was quite a pioneering force in shaping the grunge sound that would explode a few years later. Blending elements of churning metal riffs, a punk ethos, and psychedelia the album showcased Chris Cornell's raw, aggressive vocals and Kim Thayil's innovative guitar work influencing the emerging Seattle music scene.

Endsong has to be my fave Cure song right now. That 6 minute intro ... man they sound amazing. And Robert Smith's voice does not age.

"I'm outside in the dark wondering how I got so old"

These two are pretty much my annual Halloween playlist while handing out treats. Slow, spooky, and heavy doom vibes for the kids.

Love seeing these ships as part of my morning commute across Halifax Harbour. This is the Boskalis semi-submersible heavy load carrier White Marlin with an offshore substation platform likely destined for an offshore wind project in the US.

End of the season. We put our camper away for winter storage today. Didn't get to use it as much this year but we had a lot of fun with it.

On this cool gloomy Friday, I'm revisiting a 2015 gem from Argentina's Downfall of Nur - That triumphant guitar at the 14 minute mark in track II - The Golden Age always gets me.

If you slept on Totem Skin's 2015 album Weltschmerz (if so, shame on you - check it out!), Dödsrit was the result of that band's implosion. It's a different approach, being black metal/crust vs frenetic D-beat hardcore, but you can feel that influence.

Nocturnal Will is an absolutely incredible album. Twin guitars - soaring melodies - blistering blast beats. It's a contender for album of the year for me.
