Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I played it to the OH recently and she couldn't believe it was Maiden. It's Steve channelling his love of Genesis but fuck, what a tune. I wish they'd step back from the 2 CD sprawl and go, ok 8 tracks, 45 mins, 1 epic, 80s style. The fans would be made up (or Maiden up) 110

Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Steve has always been the unrepentant prog head and having the freedom of CDs has given him the space to indulge in everything he grew up loving. I think he still thinks of short tracks as a compromise, that NWOBHM punk brevity but he wrote some absolute classics under the 4 minute mark. 111
Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You know what Id love. They've done the sprawling doubles, they've proved they can do that. Take it back, an 80s length album, 8 or 9 tracks, all short with one epic. A proper old school IM album! 110

Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think in some respects they talked down their abilities, being inept was part of their appeal. Cronos was a much better player than he gave himself credit for. His bass solo on 1000 Days In Sodom is terrific 010
Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Grinds my gears that. We (or the majority of the population) have learnt absolutely nothing from Covid. I still try to socially distance putting at least a metre behind the person in front in a queue. So you get that person, me a metre away and then then the next person practically stood on my heels 010

Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026RIP Conrad 'Cronos' Lant Venom might be the Marmite of metal but they brought shock rock to the North East and helped invent thrash and black metal along the way. At War With Satan is one of the most ridiculous and therefore exhilarating side long epics ever. 140
Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026For some reason they were playing Public Enemy's Fight The Power in Tesco's earlier and I don't think it was a clean radio edit either. Tesco, every little bit helps and Elvis never meant shit to me! 170

Chthönic Smïth @chthonicsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's hard core, I need to arrange the albums in terms of difficulty. Disc 1 of Sing To Go is a reasonable pace but after the warm up of Eden On The Air it throws you in at the deep end with Eat It Up Worms Hero. Sneaky 110
