DISGUSTEEENG!!! lol Love this channel, I love Heike's vocals, huge Remina fan! I love blackened thrash, stuff like power trip, enforced, inhuman nature and hardcore like guilt trip, pain of truth, gridiron and nu metal, always listen here to find out about some new music!

I might be ok this week. Nothing stands out ( although I've not heard them ) . Plus I'm melting I have no patience no energy and unless it's wintersynth I'm passing 😅

A good way of handeling the heat is that if you have the option to it. And no one can see you go with as little clothes on maybee naked.
Back to the music will give these a listen. Heard a review yesterday about Iron Slaught. Think it was the band from france with 2 titles in french. Tha't not for me but the rest maybee

Hey Linds, I now have a dry erase board for every time you say, "stunning!" I wish I could send you all an AC. I bet you wish you you were a bigger footy fan and got to enjoy the cool hotel rooms in Boston. Glad we matched with Apogean. Anyways, stay cool!!!

Been a good week. Don't sleep on Haserot – Advent of Suffering
@bewn2465
July 15, 2026 at 9:59 pm
I'm back with another recommendation for next week:
Nightpath – The Night's Path
Mexican Black Metal that sounds very Polish with a hint of Greece. Especially the vocals sound very M. from Mgła.

Lovin Sojourner, Apogaen, Sigyn… 🔥 Load up on some box fans…
@sirfragworthy
July 15, 2026 at 9:59 pm
Apogean and Sojourner are now on my list, cheers for those. Not an album (yet) and maybe not entirely your usual territory but I HAVE to recommend you check out the latest Anthrax single ("The Edge of Perfection") if you haven't already. It's one of their best songs in a while IMHO.
@ghost.bird.studios
July 15, 2026 at 9:59 pm
Thank you so much for covering Sojourner 🖤
@VFella
July 15, 2026 at 9:59 pm
Iron Slaught? Didn't knew these, up if it says "Speed Metal" I'm all ears!!!
@jeremysanders8766
July 15, 2026 at 9:59 pm
1st Devildriver still the best… Strike and Kill brings back that old energy… 🤘
