00:47 - Cynic Metalhead

True Sunn O))) vibes here - [link]

00:46 - ScreamingSteelUS

From the Visceral Abyss was one of the best albums of last year, no doubt

00:39 - A Real Mönkey

Somehow worse than Trumps US propaganda halftime show with Kid Rock at last year’s superbowl

00:20 - X-Ray Rod

For completely unrelated reasons: This album in particular is fucking brilliant. From The Visceral Abyss

23:13 - Cynic Metalhead

@Screaming - half time performances was a laughing stock for the viewers. It’s good the bs ended pretty soon.

22:48 - Bad English
