Middle-aged metalhead from Oslo. ๐ง๐ป
I've gotten to the point in life where I'm angry at inanimate objects on a daily basis.

Black metal this, death metal that. Why do people bother spending so much time hating on either genre? It might be the most outdated and by far the most boring discussion in the history of metal. Some enjoy one or the other, some enjoy both. Leave it at that.
My record collection if I were to stop listening to every single band where I don't agree with all the band members on their views, actions and values...
Fantastic news from Neseblod Records! ๐ฅ
These are FRESH photos from the shop! The damages where mostly downstairs, and just in one corner. The most valuable stuff didn't get any damage!
Hands down one of the best metal albums ever made.
What's your favorite song from this masterpiece?
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains (1989) ๐ง๐ท

Albums like this just make me happy as a metal fan. This isn't anything revolutionary, but it's a solid metal album from a bunch of guys we all grew up loving. The fact that they're still delivering in the year 2024 puts a big smile on my face. Man it feels good to be a metalhead
Everyone should listen to a Death album, at least once a week. Why? Cause it's fucking Death, that's why.
So, which one will you choose?
I'm choosing Leprosy!
I've lived in and around Oslo for 37 years now and I have never felt the urge to go down in the Helvete basement for a pic. But a friend is in town who wanted to go, so I thought what the hell, I'll do the tourist thing as well ๐คฃ

So here it is. My top 40 favorite albums of 2023. An absolute INSANE year! So many incredible bands have given us so much great music. Thank you to everyone who's given me tips throughout the year!
(See ALT for my weird rules on why I'm posting this in November)
Sometimes you just have to play the best album to come out of the Gothenburg scene. The buzzsaw guitar riffs on this one are just etched into my soul. What a masterpiece of early Swedish death metal this is.
Entombed - Left Hand Path
June 4th, 1990
Death Metal, ๐ธ๐ช

Saw this older lady at the Cavalera gig the other night that was rocking out at the front row. Finally found a pic of her.
This is what metal is all about ๐ค
One of the absolute best records ever made. Rumors are swirling about a new album during 2024.

๐ฅ 30th anniversary ๐ฅ
I just realized that there will be a lot of amazing albums turning 30 in 2024. 1994 was an incredible year for extreme metal! This is perhaps one of the most influential albums, for years to come.
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
February 21st, 1994
I have decided to stop drinking. With an already strong focus on health and exercise, I want to take even better care of my body. I'm not getting any younger, so I feel like this is the right step for me.
Cheers! ๐ซ
Metal music is the best thing ever invented. If you've made the decision to become a metal head, you've made the an excellent choise. Life consists of many ups and downs, but the fact that I always have the music to fall back on makes everything else worth it.
Cheers! ๐ค
It might not get the same recognition as some of the more popular releases from Death, but I LOVE this album so much. So progressive, Chuck's high pitch voice and it contains some of my favorite songs of the band. Killer album!
Death - The Sound of Perseverance

I just purchased my favorite thrash metal record of all time and I hope all my nextdoor neighbors are ready for it!
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

Finally. The re-release of one of my all time favorite albums. Perfect for the winter season we're currently in.

On this very date, 30 years ago, a very special album was released. Join me in celebrating this masterpiece!
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
February 17th, 1994
Time to give one of the absolute best death metal records of all time another listen. The riffs, the drum sound and off course the mighty voice of Lord Worm. Will never get tired of this masterpiece.
Cryptopsy - Non So Vile
July 3rd, 1996
Death Metal

You might be cool, but you'll never be King Diamond cool.
Do yourself a favor and listen to some Mercyful Fate/King Diamond today. You won't regret it.
I'm just gonna to say this once and for all. Fuck AI and all bands that use it in any way. You spit in the face of so many creative souls, their art form and their livelihood.
You're a disgrace to the entire music industry.
What's everyone's favorite Cradle album?
I'm giving this classic a spin tonight. The legacy of '96 lives on!

Sometimes you just gotta go with the obvious classics. One of the first extreme metal albums I fell in love with. Still gives me goosebumps to this day.

Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that you should play one of the best black metal records every created. Tonight is that time.
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane (1995) ๐ธ๐ช
I've introduced my non-metal GF to some bands lately. Last night she was listening to some music and turned to me and said "I think this is one of the best songs I've ever heard". She was listening to "Not Unlike the Waves" by Agalloch, my favorite song. She's perfect.
๐จ Upcoming album ๐จ
This is something to look forward to! Apollyon (Aura Noir), Fenriz (Darkthrone) and Bestial Tormentor (Infernรถ) has a new band! Debut album coming up!
Coffin Storm - Arcana Rising

This is all I need to be content with my life. Just a bunch of records, some coffee and solitude. No outside distractions, just myself and the music I love.

Ask and you shall receive. I have spent the day compiling 20 albums that I consider to be my favorites from the Norwegian BM scene. My only rule was one album per band. So here it is, in random order.
Now, tell me how wrong I am! ๐๐ค
