Another good thing about (the) MELVINS: they got such a huge discography, there's always some anniversary around the corner.

"The Crybaby" was released as part 3 of their "trilogy of madness" on this day, Feb. 7 in 2000. Happy 25! 🔥

Their 3rd album "War master" was released on this day, Feb. 4 in 1991.

The original blend of grind & death metal for my taste (next to Carcass).
Great album to listen to today in times like these.

Slomosa - The Making of ‘Tundra Rock’ (live at Bergen Kjøtt, Duper Studios)

Rocked & Rolled @rockednrolled.bsky.social · Feb 3

Some talk & live music w/ SLOMOSA from Bergen/Norway about their recent album
"Tundra Rock" (2024).

A tundra is something like a desert with more grass, I think.
So yeah, great Stoner vibes!

They're playing some Euro festivals this year!

Happy birthday to MIKE PATTON!

So many bands and projects it's hard to pick a fave by Mike, but I always especially loved "The director's cut" (2001) by Fantômas.
Fantômas also features Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle) & Buzz Osborne (Melvins)

BIG BUSINESS
"Send help"

Big Business honestly are masters of their very own thing.
Took me a while to get into their music, but it's very much worth checking out.

MEGADETH
released their 3rd studio album
"So far, so good... so what!"
on this day, Jan. 19 in 1988.

It was a good album back then, but got a bit lost in their discography after the band had released their follow up mega-albums "Rust..." and "Countdown...".

"Fugue" is one of those beautiful short instrumentals they have on their albums.

ARCH ENEMY
released their debut album "Black Earth" on this day, Dec. 12 in 1996.

Michael Amott (ex- Carnage and Carcass) formed AE next to his quite thrilling SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, but soon AE turned into his main focus.

"Black Earth" is my fave from AE for its rawness. 🔥

The MISFITS
released their 2nd album "Earth A.D./Wolf's blood" on this day, Dec. 12 in 1983.

Compared to previous releases, this one is harder, faster and a big step into a more hardcore approach.
Originally, this was planned to be 2 separate EPs but then released as LP.

Mark Deutrom - Bellringer (full album)

Rocked & Rolled @rockednrolled.bsky.social · Dec 2

Listening to some MARK DEUTROM with @donfranko.bsky.social

"Bellringer" is a mostly laid back album, and yes it sounds a lot like the Melvins at some parts, but: even better!

Why? - Mark has that Melvins kinda swing on this one, but lotsa great ideas as well!
