23:58 - corrupt

Archspire just released a documentation of the process of recordingToo Fast To Die and finding a new drummer. Watching it right now, can recommend. [link]

20:00 - Vellichor

Never listened to them but I definitely thought they were Death Metal

18:28 - Boxcar Willy

Been awhile since I've listened to some 3IOB, so that will work!

18:01 - A Real Mönkey

I’m gonna go with 3IoB’s Long Live Heavy Metal. Best bar none.

16:57 - ScreamingSteelUS

Galneryus - Angel of Salvation. Or, for more ripping, 3 Inches of Blood - Fire Up the Blades.

16:38 - Boxcar Willy

Someone hit me with a ripper of a power metal album I can listen to today.

15:10 - Bad English

North from Pajala was minus 3 degrees last night
