“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
LRFotS Bardelys the Magnificent once commented, a few years ago – I think – that March is a fun month, because you get all the silly holidays packed into the space of a few days. We start with Pi Day, then the Ides of March – aka “Caesar Stabbification Day” – and then...
If you have ever listened to SABATON – and pretty much EVERY LRFotS has encountered AT LEAST one poast here that incorporates one or more of their most memorable choons – then you know how hilariously awesome they are. They also have a great sense of humour, and are...
Seeing as it is the very last day of October, we all know what that means: a bunch of people dressed up like Martin Luther, nailing a list of clear refutations of High Church doctrine to any and every door that they can find. Oh, wait, you didn’t know it was...
Most musicians that you watch playing on stage, generally have a lot of fun doing their thing. Perhaps the major exception was the late, great, dearly missed Neil Peart – aka “the guy who taught God how to play the drums”. We RUSH fans called him...
For years, I have been VERY harsh about one Larzzzz Ulrich, founder, drummer, and leader of Metallica – a band that I consider to be hugely overhyped and overrated. That being said, there was a time, back in my teens, when I did listen quite a bit to their...
It has happened at last. Nicko McBrain, the legendary drummer for the even more legendary IRON MAIDEN – THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME, there is no argument whatsoever on this subject as far as I am concerned – has announced his retirement from touring:...
Seeing as it is October 31st, and it is “that” time of the year again, let us go a bit against the grain and crank up the volume ALL THE WAY TO 11, with everyone’s favourite GRANDDADDIES of power metal: The funny thing is, though, that HELLOWEEN, despite their name,...
The latest POWERWOLF album dropped at the end of last week, and of course, I jumped on it pretty much immediately. Having listened to it pretty much continuously for the past week or so, I have to say, it is – to use the highly technical term – SUPER AMAZEBALLS...
Canadians do not get much love around here, and with pretty good reason. When I lived in the FUSA, all the Americans I knew, essentially looked at Canuckistanis as the effete, probably gay, far too polite, French-speaking, very confused cousins of the Free and the...
Surprisingly, this year I did not listen to much by way of really new heavy metal – nor did I listen to all that many metal albums. But the ones I DID listen to, were in many cases really damn good. Here are the top albums I heard in 2023. 1. VISION DENIED...
