I have not listened to any of the bands you mentioned this week, so I have my weekend cut out for me. Also, my shirt showed up yesterday and it is amazing. Just wanted to thank you for the personalized thank you video, that was super cool of you. I will take a pic wearing the shirt and toss it up on Insta later. Have an amazing one Jon.

Not even Dark Angel fan but omitting them in the "Big Releases" category for those shitty metalcore and nu metal bands is comical

Did you check out Black Owl Majesty's recent release? Deliciously dissonant post-black metal, I really enjoyed it! 🙂

The new Paradise Lost album is just around the corner. Much looking forward to it.

That opening OMG!
@GregsWhiskyGuide
December 15, 2025 at 7:21 pm
OMG that start, unexpected, bit unsettling at first, then provoked a big laughter, lol, didn't knew this face of you lol again….Great selection again, btw, will explore some of those ! (sure you can guess which ones). Hasard, btw, seems to be influenced by Blut Aus Nord (great single they just released, btw), but not only, and rythm wise/mix wise is rather overwhelming for me, tbh, but I wouldnt say bad. Also, kudos to you good man for doing these charity shows, btw ! Respect ! 🤜🤛😍🤘

Thank you for taking the time to listen to the album. The Hasard record is my pick – it's like being trapped in a grandiose nightmare.

I don't care for Evanescence, Poppy, or Spiritbox; but I am all about that collaboration project. That first song they released does nothing for me, yet I am glad it exists. It shows that people of different genres can make music together and that specific song is right up someone's alley. Good for them. I'm interested to see what else they make.

Yay, Glad Green Carnation got some love. Want to send some love for Nailed to Obscurity's new album Generation of The Void as well. Fun album for my fellow melodeath fans.

Appropriate that Ritual Mass is from Pittsburgh, there's a number of old churches turned into venues for metal bands 🤘💀🤘
