Killer Native American black metal!Pan-Amerikan Native Front recently released a vinyl version of their 2016 debut album, "Tecumseh's War". I have long had this very special album on CD and cassette and am happy today to also add this brand new vinyl edition, tshirt, and patch to my collection. All are available right now on the band's bandcamp page. It just so happens my good buddy @carrier_of_wounds JUST posted a video talking about this album on his Brainsmasher YouTube channel today. Go check it out and support this artist! . . . #vinylcollection #andherewewillremain #nativeamericanhistory #blackmetal #metalonvinyl #cassettetapes #tecumsehswar #panamerikannativefront #vinylupdate https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZfICyp4pH/?igshid=gi2d5pw14q0w

Some recent picks! Got 2 wonderful cassettes from @tridroidrecords : * Heavy Temple - Chassit (2017 stoner doom @heavytemple ) Once again a beautiful package by Tridroid and I love the little Dark Tower reference there inside the J-card! * Void Ritual - Heretical Wisdom (2017 black metal @void_ritual ) One new vinyl pick up: * Cosmic Church - Täyttymys (2018 black metal) this was on my 2018 end of year video as one of my top 4 black metal albums last year. Super glad it finally came out on vinyl! And a couple of cds from the far corners of the earth: * Dekadent - The Nemean Ordeal (2019 atmospheric black metal) gonna spoil a little bit of a potential upcoming video and just say here that this is one of my favorite albums from this year. * Hirveä - Tuska ja pakokauhu (2019 noisy, experimental, & doomy) This is a new side involving one of the guys behind @oksennvs the drums and some of the vocals here definitely remind me of that band. Super cool stuff! . . . #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylupdate #oksennus #blackmetal #doommetal #stonerdoom #cassettekvlt #cassettetapes #metalonvinyl #supportartists (at Alameda, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzPG9BznllG/?igshid=13vbuubqkaplf

Part 2: Moving on to my other favorite current hip hop label @backwoodzstudioz The Last album in this update is the latest album from Billy Woods and Kenny Segal (@kennysegal ), "Hiding Places" I grabbed both a vinyl & CD copy of this album and I'm sure glad I did! Enshrining my favorite albums in vinyl is something that always feels necessary to me, but I also especially love getting hip hop albums on CD because so often they just make such great driving music. I'm even more happy to own this awesome CD edition of "Hiding Places" because LOOK AT ALL THAT AWESOME ARTWORK THAT COMES IN THE CD BOOKLET! I love all these grimy ass fairytale pictures and all the lyrics are printed in here as well! The vinyl edition doesn't have a booklet at all so missing out on all of this would have been a bummer. I highly recommend you pick up both versions as well. In case it wasn't already clear, this is ALSO one of the best hip hop albums from this year. I think they even have some special bundle sales right now at the Backwoodz Studioz website so now is the time to add some Billy Woods to your collection! . . . #hiphop #modernrap #billywoods #billywoodsrap #backwoodzstudioz #vinylcollection #besthiphop #kennysegal #hiphoponvinyl #hiphopvinyl #vinylrecords https://www.instagram.com/p/BycsG-UpS0I/?igshid=1o6gag31ge8hi

Part 1 of 2: A long overdue hip hop update from my two favorite labels: Backwoodz Studioz and Mello Music Group. @mellomusicgroup @backwoodzstudioz . * Open Mike Eagle - Brick Body Kids Still Daydream ( @open_mike_eagle 2017) * Quelle Chris - Guns (@quellechrist 2019 ) * Oddisee - Rock Creek Park (@oddisee 2011) * Billy Woods & Kenny Segal - Hiding Places (2019) First up this Open Mike Eagle CD version of Brick Body Kids Still Daydream from 2017. I already had this album on vinyl and cassette, but I needed it on CD as well. I just love it so much. Let me preface this by saying I think 2017 was packed with a staggering amount of absolutely incredible albums. I think it beat out both 2016 AND 2018 in that regard by a mile. Back when I did my video of my favorite albums of 2017 I had Brick Body Kids as my #6 favorite album of that year. I can say now that number 6 wasn't high enough. To this day I go back to this album more than ANY other album released in 2017 of ANY genre (including metal). This is more than a top 10 of 2017 for me. This is a top 10 hip hop release of AT LEAST the past 5 years. Sticking with the Mello Music releases I also picked up the latest Quelle Chris album "Guns". Wow. This is my 3rd album to check out from Chris and it may be my favorite yet! I'm not sure right now if I favor this one or the collab with Jean Grae (@jeanniegrigio ) from last year a little more. A couple things I do know for sure, though: Quelle Chris is absolutely one of my top favorite rappers out there right now and this is EASILY one of the best albums of 2019. The last Mello Music release in this batch is a vinyl copy of one of my favorite albums by Oddisee, "Rock Creek Park". I've been wanting to pick this up on vinyl for a loooong time and thankfully MMG just put out a vinyl reissue! For those that don't know, Oddisee is both a rapper AND producer and this album is almost entirely instrumental (the first track is the only one with rapping). Very beautiful and relaxing music here that evokes the comfort of your childhood home and memories of staying up late at night watching TV at grandma's house. .

My Master's Hammer collection. Can't thank @aeric_7734 enough for turning me on to this band. These 3 albums are essential imo. Their debut album, "Ritual" from 1991 The follow up album, "Jilemnický Okultista" from 1992 and their 2018 ripper, "Fascinator" What do you all think? Do they have other albums that rival the awesomeness of these 3? Šlágry is an interesting one that I do plan on picking up at some point, but I haven't listened to any of the others beyond that. . . . #mastershammer #czechmetal #blackmetal #metalonvinyl #blackmetalvinyl #vinylcollection #thrashmetal #blackenedthrash #oldschoolblackmetal https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxc9lDwp2tr/?igshid=t8c3ioytjgyx

              How I Got Into Extreme Metal Music

Looking to get into some of the more extreme styles of heavy metal music? Maybe all the harsh vocals, screams, and distortion is making it difficult for you? I was there too once. Here’s what worked for me and the early steps of my journey into genres like black metal, death metal, doom metal, Funeral Doom, sludge metal, industrial metal, and grindcore. Or maybe you’re just like me and enjoy hearing about other people’s musical journeys? Either way, here’s a video! Hope you enjoy it
