I know it’s not metal fridays, but this needed its own post. Holy fuck. Opeth’s The Last Will and Testament album came out yesterday. It’s by far my album of the year. And I know many won’t agree but this is a masterpiece.
It’s a mix of 70s prog with organs and odd time
Music and then a return to modern death metal (including OG opeth growls) and soaring guitars and pounding drums and bass. It’s a concept album and only the last song has a title.
It’s haunting and driving and melodic and dark and beautiful. It’s what modern hard rock and metal should be. It’s experimental and not meant for the radio or some background in a fucking social video.
If you like rock of any kind and up for a journey out this on and listen to the whole thing without stopping. It’s only 50 minutes. But Opeth mixed the best of who they were and who they want to be and this is glorious.

3 unfsHey, Milleh! Always nice to see your face.
So far today I have gym'd (fucking leg day), installed a TV/monitor wall mount in my wife's office and finally mounted my second monitor. It's the one I'm pointing at in a totally normal way, like humans do.

Now I'm gonna take a wine nap and then we're going to a local brewery's anniversary in a few hours.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
P.S. I'm playing Drova, too, and it is legit awesome so far. Really impressive. -
