I have a really specific memory of the song "Dream Weaver." I'd just gotten an A on my first test in my first Comp Sci class when the song came out (on the album; it wasn't yet a single). That night, I was so jazzed, I decided to drive home from college the long way…up Pacific Coast highway…and it was a full moon. The song played just as I arrived at the then-unbuilt area north of Laguna Beach near the stables, looking out over the moonlit ocean.

Found out about Shuhada’s death via a blog before her Wikipedia entry got edited. Not linking to her obits because exactly zero of the three I’ve seen use her post #Muslim conversion name anywhere in the piece.

Pre-conversion, this song came from an album of songs around Rastafarian themes:

I hope that she has found the peace she so desperately sought.

The person who died the other day was a member of the local sf/f club that I'd interacted with over the years.

However, I did not know xyr pronouns or that xe was non-binary.

Because of that lack of knowledge on my part, I want to share this post so that xe is seen: https://ng-moonmoth.dreamwidth.org/31128.html

Aargh, #Memoriam is coming to Tuska fest in Helsinki next summer and, as usual, there are almost no other bands there that interest me. Single day tickets are 129€, so yeah... I hope they come here on their own another time.

Rick, founder of Underdog Devs, a charity to help train (and mentor) formerly incarcerated people in software development (specifically iOS development), is recently widowed.

His late wife Amanda died from a brutal case of melanoma after 3 years of illness. She had no primary melanoma, so it was only caught once it was stage 4.

if you can help Rick and their daughter Aislin, please do.

Nennt mir eine (wirklich) epische Death Metal Band. Genau, Bolt Thrower. Hier eine der #NachfolgeBands. #Memoriam #RiseToPower #NeverForget #NeverAgain (#6MillionDead)

The other day, amazing guitarist (and multi-instrumentalist) David Lindley died. Best known for his supporting playing for Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne, etc., my personal favorite of his own songs is his tale about the glamor of life on the road.

"I drove 600 miles to play a 45 minute show."

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4/5
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
2. #Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags 4/5
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5
5. #AllMyShadows - Eerie Monsters 3/5
6. #AirRaid - Fatal Encounter 3/5 *NEW*
7. #MONOINC - Ravenblack 3/5
8. #AllOutWar - Celestial Rot 3/5
9. #Leiþa - Reue 3/5
10. #InFlames - Foregone 2,5/5
11. #Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars 2/5

#TomsAOTY2023

Hellripper will fight Screamer for the number 2 spot on my #AOTY2023 list. But who knows, maybe not even Obituary is safe? Let the battle begin! 🤘

#TomsAOTY2023:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4/5
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
2. #Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags 4/5 *NEW*
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5

Good morning folks.
Just listened to Celestial Rot from All Out War. Entertaining, but nothing stood out after one spin. I bet this is much better live.

#AOTY2023

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4/5
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5
5. #AllMyShadows - Eerie Monsters 3/5
6. #MONOINC - Ravenblack 3/5
7. #AllOutWar - Celestial Rot 3/5 *NEW*
8. #Leiþa - Reue 3/5
9. #Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars 2/5

Verdict... Difficult to rate, it started great, but the ballad and some other stuff towards the end were turn-offs. I am conflicted. If I give it a 3, it gets the same rating as Twilight Force, although I like their album better. Here's my solution for that problem:

#AOTY2023:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4,1/5
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5 (NEW)
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5 (+0,5)
5. #AllMyShadows - Eerie Monsters 3/5 (NEW)

Finally I had time to listen to #Memoriam's new album #RiseToPower. Funny thing, I like Karl Willet's vocals much better on this one than on Bolt Thrower. I still prefer John Tardy style vocals though.

So, will Rise To Power make my preliminary #AOTY2023 list?

YES:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything (4,1/5)
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker (4/5)
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power (3,5/5)
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale (3/5)
5. #MONOINC - Ravenblack (3/5)
