    I’m so glad you have kept the album art of the week. Some of the my favorite albums have been the album art picks. This one in particular. Keep em coming. 🤘🤘

    Hey Jon. The Mastadon boys knew there was smoke with the Hines camp before the album released. They had to know this was coming. Seems reckless, financially speaking.

    Dreadnought was fun. I was let down by my most anticipated album of the week. The Mother of Millions album wasn't bad, just not up to their standards. Think their last album was way better. Dreadnought picked up the slack though lol. Need to get around to Green Lung, I've only heard good things.

    I'm not keen to slot of obscure bands. Supposedly Anders from In Flames say they are in the works of some new stuff. I'm new to this comment section. Horns Up! 🎸

    Whew, man, now I can move on with my day!!! 😉 Does In Eclipse have ties to Persefone? Andorra is a tough country to get to. No airport at all!! My my pick this week, From the Vastland from Iran, in case you need some black metal in your life!!

    Another great video, Jon! And I just learned something new – you are in a band and a guitarist! Exactly how awesome are you?
    😉😁😇🤘🤘🏽
    And don't worry about the timing. We are here when you are ready.

    Your band sounds great! I was listening to my own music on shuffle today, I lost a lot of skill when I stopped playing with other people. I know its a cliche but I like my old stuff better than my new stuff!

    Shrineburner is a stand out doom/stoner metal release of the year, think it’s their debut too! Harlott, another thrash metal opus! Other highlights Xion, Godslave, Whispered, Slime Dimension. Thanks for the vid John

    John need to say love your show never miss it. The only thing I recommend is we need bigger sizes on your Merch for us fat metal heads. But keep up the great work.

    Woeful echo- Absence of anything divine,for me is JUST a phenomenal black metal album( i think it was released this week, UNLESS i am wrong f me i don't remember 😅)
    I ABSOLUTELY love this album and it s probably one the best albums of the year for me. Eaaaasily. It reminds me of a band called Red means no mercy but with more blackened war approach
