Darkstone

Good on them. It's a quality album.

E19 - No Sign of Life. One of the many gems from Gary Schutt.

KILLER!!! MHR from Brazil. One I'd never heard of until the first track popped up on none other than our good friend Cody's YouTube channel, "Ezoangelofdeath". He posts some gems and this is certainly one of them. I do feel a little let down that I came across this on YouTube though. Cody seems to be holding out on us guys. Of course, I'm not angry, just disappointed. Here's 5 AWESOME tracks.

Maybe I did hear about it , but I can't remember. The dementia's setting in.

Ha! I don't know what happened there. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice list. I'd also add... Hot For Teacher I'll Wait Source Of Infection Feelin' I'm definitely predominantly a "Van Hagar" man for the record.

An great little Erik Gronwall retrospective. I'd be interested to hear the "Jesus Christ Superstar" stuff. I also had no idea about his cancer battle.

This is why it's hard to "move on". The clip at the 3 minute mark of this vid is a Fucking Disgrace!

? I don't remember Wicked Smile at Calder.

Smooth. That didn't sound creepy at all.

4 albums from this Great US band. Wake Up (2005), So Long (2007), Stereoside (2010) and Hellbent (2016). The 2010 self titled release is their best. Here's a selection. Quality stuff with a definite Gnostic vibe. I have to say though, that I think they missed a trick with their name. They should've gone with "Stereocide". Much cooler.

Nice pumpkins.

Still my go to Halloween track.

Great Metal from Sweden, but unfortunately it's one of those frustrating albums that is let down vocally. He's not too bad, but the music is Killer! It's a shame, with awesome riffage like this, slightly better vocals would've made this album a monster. It's still great stuff, just could've been so much better. Here's 5 tracks.

Great minds...

What does "other" mean in the Line Up list? I'd also like to send my condolences for the death of their Engineer.

This is horrible news.

Two albums from this US band, "Baptized By The Rio Grande"(2015) and "Forged By Fortitude"(2017), plus a couple of EP's. Classified as "Modern" Hard Rock, but it's more than that. I just consider it as Killer Hard Rock. There's heaps more riffage and melody here than on most "Modern" albums. Another example of how the line between genres is blurred. I get a bit of a sleaze vibe occasionally in the music also. I guess it all depends on how you're dressed. Killer stuff.

It's a cracker too.

Interesting. Todd Kerns is always good value.

That's just how they roll.

Yeah, I think so.

A new Steelhouse Lane album would be great.

Off the top of my head and as mentioned above, Damn Yankees and Roxus would be right up there. Von Groove is also a good call.

Australia went through a period recently where we had several Prime Ministers appointed not by the voting public, but as a result of a Party leadership change. I can't understand it. It's ridiculous. Who the fuck voted for Liz Truss?.. and who the fuck will vote for the next British PM? There should be a General election held. Maybe King Charles III should dissolve Parliament... ...It went well with King Charles I.
