Dozer's return to the scene after 10 years was one of my faves in metal for 2023. This release came out 18 months ago now - you #metalheads sleep on it? If so, check it out.

'Drifting in The Endless Void' has a matured sound that expands beyond traditional stoner rock, but still with loads of fuzzed-up heaviness. A remarkable return for Dozer.

Emma Ruth Rundle is an absolute force of nature. I just love this Audiotree/Far Out live production for Heaven. The sound is incredible and the venue perfectly suits the tone of the song.

"The only church I’ll ever know
Is in the Earth, the ground below me says
Come home now, you’re done"

I've posted before about her collab with Thou, which is also incredible. She's such a versatile artist.

Me talking about #metal

Had a great time at the #Halifax Magic Club Showcase last night in the Bus Stop Theatre. Lots of great talent! Also stopping at Tusket Falls Brewing for food and beers beforehand was fantastic. Fun night out in the north end.

I just love this track by The Veils. Finn grapples with inner demons and confronts the darker aspects of human nature. There's an intensity & urgency in the music & vocals, adding to the dramatic, haunting atmosphere of the song.

The young music scene here is really exploding.

Few collaborations have the gravity that Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou have.

"I want to step into the armor of another, stronger
I want to look once through the eyes of someone good"

Bloody massive.

Another gorgeous morning here. Getting cold though, frost on the windows and mist on the lake.

End of the work day here. Getting into the seasonal spirit with some Green Druid. My god this band is good. Crushing riffs, elements of black #metal, and faster tempos than typical #doom bands. This track is amazing. https://greendruid.bandcamp.com/track/haunted-memories

Any Kylesa fans on here? When they broke up Laura Pleasants started The Discussion. If you're a fan of Kylesa, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Slowdive etc this album is up your alley. Dreamy shoegaze, indie rock and post punk.

Good morning! Beautiful here

We tried. My daughter and I set up after dusk and waited for the clouds to clear, but it didn't happen.

Jake E. Lee was out walking his dog in Vegas, minding his own business and gets shot multiple times. Crazy. https://loudwire.com/guitarist-jake-e-lee-shot-las-vegas-statement-issued/?1245

I'm not much of a death #metal guy, but man that 90s sound is my jam lately. Especially Hypocrisy. Oof, that guitar tone.

Tonight may be a good opportunity to see both the northern lights and comet c/2023 a3 where I am in Halifax. Hoping the sky stays clear.

Any #metal fans here? On this lazy, dreary Monday I'm revisiting one of my fave releases from last year by Boston's Morne - full of delicious slow & crusty doom.

... and my only meeting scheduled for today just go cancelled. Sweet - gonna be a low stress productive day.

It's a cold wet Thanksgiving Monday here and I'm working today but it's nice and quiet with most of my colleagues and clients taking the day off. Good day to catch up on admin tasks and get some writing done.

I'm new here and figured I'd jump in with this pre-dawn photo of Halifax Harbour from last week - part of my morning commute.
