Awolz was good as always, even if Jai had few beers before going on.

AWOLz with Electric Druids headlining at Jacks on Queens in Duncan BC Canada. Steve is a wizard, or durid I guess, on the guitar. awolz.bandcamp.com/album/awolz electricdruids.bandcamp.com/album/uberni... #hardrock #punkrock #musicsky #canadianmusic

Thérèse Lanz, the singer/guitarist for Mares of Thrace did the t-shirt designs by the way. She also runs a game company. Casey Rogers did some drumming for Kylesa. Some crazy talent here. maresofthrace.bandcamp.com/album/the-ex...

Genuinely enjoyed Metzli. Probably not a regular listen, but it makes me want to play Castlevania Symphony of the Night with it on.

I had to listen to this CD-r they put out twice. Maybe my opinion will change if I sit with it for longer, but this is seriously good.

Not my normal listen, but will check it out for sure.

I caught a cold. But my zine, Heavy Transmutation Issue 2, is almost done. And I saw Mortuary Cave at a local gig, who will be featured in the zine. so that was nice. Here is the zine cover art. #airbrush #gouche #penandink This is Mortuary Cave mortuarycave.bandcamp.com/album/darkne... #metalsky

Even with my good camera, the colours are not as vibrant here. Domkraft - Sonic Moons This record carried me through some rough times. I made this illustration for art school with it on repeat in 2023 or 24 domkraft.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-... #stonerrock #hardrock #metalsky #doommetal #vinyl

I'm having an art sale at Excellent Frameworks in Duncan B.C. if you happen to be around. It will mostly be old ladies buying pastoral and floral art. But everything is $100 or less. Mine will be dirt cheap. #illustration #heavymetal #mixedmedia #stonerrock #doommetal #traditionalmedia

I bought my first new #country album. Ok, it's #alt-country. I saw Seth Anderson live in an acoustic and electric set by himself. He really got my attention. He opened for Northcote, who I like live much better. sethandersonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/these-...

Oh, another Québec band. Will check it out. Plus, it's Canada day.

They had just the one cd there, Earthbound. Great stuff. Kinda The Sword-ish. 10 bucks CAN well spent. I would have got a shirt, but $$ is tight these days. If you like doom at all be sure to check out Cultovar. They take a bit to get rolling but thoses vocals are killer.

010

Andrew Fryer @fryerimages.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Yep! I'm listening to the cd in that I picked from em' right now. They did a little tour in BC with Cultovar and Czary. Was in a nice pub/hotel called the Waverly in a tiny town on Vancouver Island. Fantastic night!
