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.

Foggy #Halifax waterfront this morning

@stueytheround forgot about that one. that was bad! The Expanse gets so many details correct, I'm left wondering if her mispronounciation was a mistake or intended.

Irks me that Chrisjen mispronounces 'Lagavulin' in The Expanse, but I suppose it is 326 years in the future.

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.

Good morning from #Halifax

Rest in peace, Paul Di'Anno. Those early Maiden albums were formational for me. I remember not being able to afford Killers so I bought the cheaper Maiden Japan live EP instead when I was 11. Still my fave version of those early songs.

@codeWhisperer really infectious. love their sound. their earlier album is also worth checking out.

I really enjoy Arnaud Montagard's work.

@Notokay I am also a peathead - Laphroaig being my all-time favourite distillery. I've only had the Port Charlotte 10 in that range before, great stuff. Also enjoy the peated Irish like Connemara which are a bit lighter and sweeter. @LSWellesley

@LSWellesley it really is delicious. My first intro to Arran was the sadly discontinued 14 year old. Such a huge fruity nose on them.

@Vikky it's taking a bit of getting used to but I think I'm figuring it out. very supportive community here! @mcfate

@fuse both are great. Michter's has been hard to find but their regular line up sometimes makes on shelves. good stuff. I especially like the Toasted Barrel.

@mcfate @Vikky perfect, that worked!

@Vikky @mcfate thank you!

@corlin thank you!

@mcfate ugh too bad, thanks. trying to avoid the constant US political news everywhere I look

is there a way to turn off the msnbc ticker?
