Yesterday I busted out what I consider to be the best electronic song ever... this time comes my nomination for best metal song of all time. Pretty contentious because there's some big ones out there, but from a purely personal view this is a track that ticks all the boxes. Fanging guitars, screamy bois, drums that kick hard, and that delightful mix of melody and raaahhhh that just feels so good.

The whole Set In Stone album is fantastic, but the pinnacle is definitely End Of Days in my opinion. Other stand outs are the title track, and Forever which is a video clip worth checking out. The album ends with New Horizons which is super mellow. The video clip for that one is good too.

LORD are an Australian metal band that's been around since 2003. Lord Tim founded Dungeon back in the day which was apparently popular? Bit before my time but it gets referenced a lot and toured with Megadeth so can't have been too shabby. Andy Dowling runs a podcast and sells records and is generally a productive kinda bloke.

I really like their video clips - so good seeing Australian scenery and a nice little dab of comedy:

A cover of Kylie Minogie - On A Night Like This
A cover of Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back
And an original LORD - Because We Can
Another original, with plenty of tour footage LORD - Final Seconds

If you want a stupid amount of content, check out their Youtube channel - pretty much all their albums are on there to listen to: https://www.youtube.com/@LORDofficial

If you are going down the metal/metal adjacent whatever, have a gander at the Brissy deathcore band , a night in Texas.

I've made it through half a dozen tracks, but I dont think Deathcore is for me. Too much of the raahhhh screams and the ruh ruh ruh ruh growls without enough of the melody and harmony bit.

Always good to have some variety in the playlist though. And woo, Brisbane!

Fair fair, mainly plugged coz Brissy, and for deathcore rather decent.

Gotta be quick to beat a 5am! You win this round, Bandicoot.

Seems my delayed syncing issues are back, only 2/3 days lag ATM vs the full week I was getting before!

Damn, I believe the delay is backlogged before everything federates together.
