#NeObliviscaris are one of my recent addictions. Just got a copy of their first album on vinyl. MDM from Australia 🇦🇺 with a violin. It's an amazing album, but if you've got 12 minutes to spare, give "And plague flowers the kaleidoscope" a listen, so much going on in that track, I absolutely love it!

A little #Fallujah to kick off the long weekend. Their new release Xenotaph is really strong. Got to see a couple of the band members guesting with Obscura and Born of Osiris earlier this year. Hopefully there will be a chance to see them preforming their own stuff soon.

Finally found a vinyl copy of one of my all-time favorite albums, "In Absentia" from #PorcupineTree. Lots of great tracks, but Trains is a classic and the acoustic guitar section sounds so clear, as if Steven Wilson was right there in the room playing it just for you.

Celebrating the Prince of Darkness with his final album, the Grammy-winning Patient Number 9. The lead-off track "Immortal" is strangly prophetic, as while we're all only on this spinning rock for a while, it is our legacy that makes us immortal, and few have left a legacy quite like #Ozzy

In honor of #BastilleDay, spinning some classic Rush. The lead-off track of Caress of Steel is "Bastille Day". Good track, but "The Necromancer" that ends side 1 and "The Fountain of Lamneth" that takes up all of side 2 are standout tracks for me.
