Naglfar – A Swarm of Plagues

Have these people made a single bad song? I haven't found it yet.

Carcass – Keep On Rotting in the Free World

26.04.2026 – Ghost

Ghost – Ritual

Ghost. In and before 2018 I listened to almost nothing else. I had 6724 logged songs, 52% of which were Ghost songs. Then my gradually stopped listening to them. I didn't really like Prequelle (I deluded myself for a bit saying it wasn't that bad) and when IMPERA came out in 2022 I already didn't listen to much, if any, Ghost anymore. And I really didn't like IMPERA at all. Or anything Ghost produced after Prequelle, for that matter. The music didn't really do it for me anymore and Ghost as a whole felt more and more like a commercial product instead of just some good satanic melodies. Ghost was always a band with a gimmick (masked singed, a bit of narrative, no one knew who the person behind the project was), but now it seemed to me like the music became secondary and they went all in for a big narrative that people can obsess over. Don't get me wrong, I liked the narrative before, it was nice to have. But in my opinion, that narrative should always be small, easy to understand, essentially just some flair.

Dissection – Thorns Of Crimson Death

24.04.2026 – At the Gates

At the Gates – Black Hole Emission

This might very well be the last At the Gates album we will ever get. I listened to it a lot today, but I'll need some more time to form an opinion on it. Just this for now: I like it.

Maybe they'll do one last tour for the album with a guest vocalist. That would be something I could not miss. But we'll see.

23.04.2026 – Mastodon

Mastodon – Blood and Thunder

Today, a song from my "Songs to go crazy and hunt the wretched White Whale to" playlist.
Mastodon really is a special band and I gotta listen to more of their later material. So far I only listened to Leviathan and Remission in depth and a few songs from Once More 'Round the Sun and The Hunter.

22.04.2026 – At the Gates

At the Gates – The Dissonant Void

I didn't notice At the Gates released another single from their upcoming album!!
What can I say, absolutely love it.

Wait, I just found out the album full releases on the 24th!! Wow. I can't wait.

21.04.2026 – Bolt Thrower

Bolt Thrower – The 4th Crusade

15.04.2026 – Cult of Luna

Cult of Luna – Genesis

Cult of Luna is one of those bands that I have liked for a long time, but still it took me very long to listen to the rest of their discography. I started listening to their record Mariner in 2020 and have just now started listening to their The Beyond record. Unsurprisingly I fell in love with it immediately. Wish I took the time to listen to more Cult of Luna sooner. But what can you do? There's just too much music out there to listen to it all.

Regina Spektor – On the Radio
