#TodaysPlays part II. #Carcass #ParadiseLost #AxisOfAdvance I often feel compelled to listen to Carcass, the idea of them is great. But i always vague out. So much of it plods along. I forget what I’m listening to. Early PL tho remains magical and AoA kills if you’re one for #CanadianMetal
#TodaysPlays #Bathory #BlackMetal Party. The Friday rule is: play 80s stuff. Looks like i accomplished that goal. And in case you’re wondering, BFD is my cut off. You want to hear the #Viking era done right? Listen to Celts by Morrigan.
#TodaysPlays #NickCave #AntiCimex #DumDumGirls #Discharge #45RPM #Vinyl My turntable is kinda old and has a manual belt. I try to max out the 45 setting once made.
I don't want to say how long I've wanted to see this double header, but #Australia 2027 is the year! Seen #TheHellacopters a few times in the aughts, but a first for #Gluecifer Amazing! Neither band would be able to play long enough... even with my predilection for hardcore length live sets.
#TodaysPlays #Samhain #Heartbreakers #SuicidalTendencies #WolfAlice #RocketFromTheCrypt #TheWhiteStripes Something eclectic for Friday.
#TodaysPlays #TheDonnas #TurboNegro #Varukers #TheOath #Vinyl #PunkRock #DBeat #Music Looks like i had an excellent listening experience today.
Today’s plays. #BlackSabbath #Slayer #Razor I always feel like kicking Fridays off with #ReignInBlood I got it right today. #Metal #Vinyl
Killer records with terrible covers. #InfernalMajesty one of the great #Canadian #ThrashMetal bands of the 1980s. I can see where they were going w the concept, but the execution? Much to be desired. Despite that, a ripper LP. Feel free to join the pile on.
What pressing is this? Mine has the white/alt tentacles labels. Custom obi from one of my kids when they were little.
#zeke Death Alley. Overkill #rocknroll All their records kinda sound alike, yet each slays. Something to be said.
Reunion albums are risky. They need to be remarkable to even be considered - least in my book. #TheHellacopters Eyes of Oblivion an exception. #RockNRoll #Vinyl #Sweden
#November is #AusMusicMonth which means celebrating killer recordings from #Australia. Soooo, I’m taking it upon myself to intro ppl to #records they may not know. #Sithlord From out of the Darkness LP 2021. Ripping #ThrashMetal FFO #Kreator #80sThrash australianplayed.com.au/2025/ausmusi...
#November is #AusMusicMonth which means celebrating killer recordings from #Australia. Soooo, I’m taking it upon myself to intro ppl to #records they may not know. First up #LubricatedGoat Plays The Devil’s Music LP from 1987 #NoiseRock #AmRep australianplayed.com.au/2025/ausmusi...
#Halloween playlist part 1. #TheMisfits The Misfits Box Set. 4 disc collection from 1996. If memory serves this was the first time Static Age was made available in its entirety, noting that there’s an LP version with even more tracks.
Working on a piece about the Australian band #ArmouredAngel. Dominating the turntable right now. Check out my other #Medium blog posts: medium.com/@jasonmhealey #ThrashMetal #DeathMetal #Vinyl
Plays for todayyyy. #NecrosChristos #Immortal #Merzbow #IronMaiden #Rainbow Merzbow was recorded live in #Australia and fittingly titled #Kookaburra Rainbow is a #Japanese pressing on Oyster. No obi but has the insert and the heavy sleeve stock. Amazing standard. #BlackMetal #HeavyMetal #Noise
Plays for today. #Sodom #MastersHammer #BlackWitchery #Revenge #Deiphago Perfect illustration of how disparate #BlackMetal can be. Same umbrella, radically different expressions.
Plays for today. #Kat #Sepultura #Queensryche 80s classics. This is the English language Pronit version of #MetalAndHell I think the #Polish version is better, but there’s something magical about old records.
