Check out the #MetalheadsPodcast fav albums in Sept! I locked in The Ecstasy of Death by #Offernat on 9/13, 2 days after it dropped. Don’t think I’ve ever picked an AotM that early, but sometime an LP comes along that completely absorbs me; that makes me feel tethered to old memories and the moment.

Dusted off my #wiiu early this year to complete all the #videogames I never got around to. Just finished #zeldabreathofthewild (+ most of the side quests) and I think it might be my favorite game ever. ⚔️❤️ @nintendousa.bsky.social #nintendo #thelegendofzeldabreatheofthewild

Killer Friday night of heaviness at #ConcordMusicHall. #Converge always brings unmatched intensity & swirls that pit. Also really loved seeing #Balmora for the 1st time. Bringing back the 90s #metalcore lightning ⚡️ that forged me growing up in #Syracuse.

Saw It’s Never Over tonight and it’s a mesmerizing, moving tribute to the brief but dazzling flame 🔥 that was #jeffbuckley. Beautifully directed with stunning footage & heartfelt reflections that don’t shy away from showing how legacy, fame and depression affected Jeff and the people who loved him.
