2021 in Music - My Top 5 Favourite Albums

5. BLACK VEIL BRIDES – THE PHANTOM TOMORROW

One of America’s most masterful heavy metal bands return with a full-blooded blinder of a concept album which sees them deliver their finest work since their masterpiece, Wretched & Divine. Charismatic frontman Andy Biersak brings the fire in fine form while his band bring plenty of thunder, and the result is one of the finest classic metal records I’ve heard in a while.

Standout tracks: Scarlet Cross, Born Again, Blackbird, Torch, Shadows Rise, Fields of Bone, Crimson Skies, Fall Eternal

4. ARCHITECTS – FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO EXIST

The Brighton metalcore masters continue to evolve their sound with another potentially divisive album that’s likely to alienate their old-school fans, but I’m loving their new stuff, and to me this is their best offering yet. Equal parts harsh and melodic, it’s a magnificent blend of the sub-genre’s characteristic feral savagery and the boys’ more contemplative, adventurous new sound, and I can’t get enough of it.

Standout tracks: Black Lungs, Giving Blood, Dead Butterflies, An Ordinary Extinction, Impermanence, Flight Without Feathers, Little Wonder, Animals, Libertine, Goliath (featuring Simon Neil), Demi God, Meteor, Dying Is Absolutely Safe

3. HOLDING ABSENCE – THE GREATEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE

Their eponymous 2019 debut was a masterful debut that very nearly made my top five that year, but their heavily anticipated follow-up leaves it dead in the water. Raw, intense and deeply personal, this is alternative rock that wears its heart on its sleeve, vocalist Lucas Woodland investing every track with incendiary power and pure, naked emotion. Trust me, listening to this won’t be a mistake at all.

Standout tracks: Celebration Song, Curse Me With Your Kiss, Afterlife, In Circles, Nomoreroses, Beyond Belief, Die Alone (In Your Lover’s Arms), Mourning Song, An Apology Note

2. SAM FENDER – SEVENTEEN GOING UNDER

I was late to the party with youthful Geordie singer-songwriter Sam Fender, only discovering his incredible debut album, Hypersonic Missiles, in this past year, but I fell in love the moment I heard his music. This follow-up may not have the sheer star power anthemic brilliance of that record, but it’s no less worthy of consideration, Fender’s choice to somewhat shed his previous BIG SOUND for a more personal musical journey producing one of the year’s most beautiful albums. This kid’s got a bright future ahead of him.

Standout tracks: Seventeen Going Under, Getting Started, Aye, Get You Down, Long Way Off, Spit of You, Last To Make It Home, Mantra, The Dying Light, Angel In Lothian, Good Company, Poltergeists

1. SPIRITBOX – ETERNAL BLUE

After sneaking in under the radar over the last few years, this Canadian metalcore three-piece have exploded on the scene in a MAJOR WAY and deserve every bit of praise they’ve received. This is the very definition of a powerhouse debut album, a rock-solid epic of consistently ear-wormy corkers and sonic eardrum-bursters, magnificently bolstered by singular frontwoman Courtney LaPlante’s astonishingly rich, complex and flexible voice. I look forward to hearing what they do next.

Standout tracks: Sun Killer, The Summit, Secret Garden, Eternal Blue, We Live In a Strange World, Halcyon, Circle With Me, Constance

The ones that didn’t quite make the cut:

Biffy Clyro – The Myth of Happily Ever After (another cracker from the Scottish alt rockers and a perfect companion piece to A Celebration of Endings); Evanescence – The Bitter Truth (the gothic-tinged emo rockers return after their long hiatus with another killer record); Don Broco – Amazing Things (one of my fave British alt-rock bands deliver another mischievous and gleefully anarchic serving of musical irreverence); Halsey – If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (the electropop singer-songwriter unleashes a powerfully original concept album with a little help from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, aka Nine Inch Nails); Lonely the Brave – The Hope List (the Cambridge alt-rockers may have a new singer-songwriter but they’re just as robust and epic-sounding as ever)

Honourable mention:

STONESIDE – THE WATER

Why isn’t this at the top of my list? Because it’s an EP, but I had to shout about it because this is, bar none, THE BEST THING I HEARD ALL YEAR. There’s still not much known about this Texan “alt-metal” band, and they still don’t have a particularly big following, but I can’t stop raving about them, and I know I’m not alone. This is a stone-cold masterpiece, seven slices of killer with no filler in sight, beautifully experimental and magnificently subversive in sound, and I just haven’t been able to stop listening to it all year. I cannot wait for these guys to make a full album …

Standout tracks: A History of Violence, God Save the King, Integrity vs. Despair, One Day As a Wolf, No Shelter, When They Took You, Terlingua

In any case, we can hypothesize, that more likely, their daughter Constance having been handed over to Henry II, Margaret chose to follow her to England where she would henceforth grow up while waiting to be married to Geoffrey. In support of this hypothesis, we can invoke the fact that it must have been particularly unbearable for Margaret to be separated so brutally from her daughter, then barely five years old.  Moreover, even if we do not know the exact nature of the links that Margaret maintained with her daughter Constance, a charter suggests that they remained close [We know that when she became head of the Breton duchy, Constance remained in close contact with her mother, which supports the hypothesis that they were not separated for a long time]. Moreover, Margaret had received a dower from Conan IV, on her English lands (mainly in Lincolnshire). Added to the twenty knight fiefdoms and and the 100 pounds from the land (in the western part of Lothian, Scotland), which she had received from Malcom IV at the time of her marriage with Conan, these properties allowed her to live comfortably on the island and to see her daughter more often than if she had stayed in Brittany.

Why should you use limewash paint for brick?

Limewash has been approximately for as long as absorbent building materials like brick as well as stone. The ancient Egyptians utilized it on their pyramids.

Limewash is a thin coating with constancy similar to paint, but it couldn’t be more dissimilar.

For one thing, limewash paint for brick is usual. It is made out of limestone that has been compressed, burned, and made into putty along with water.

The putty is aged, further watered down, and then mixed with natural pigments if a color other than white is needed.

This kind of natural paint is a favorite of Belgians and other Europeans for application on their interior stone walls as it is anti-microbial, boosts air quality, and is free of solvents that damage the environment.

Lime paint makes a chalky, mottled finish that adds profundity and beauty to any wall it is applied to.

Traditionally, limewash has been utilized only on absorbent surfaces, because it doesn’t sit on top of the outside but sinks in.

However, with the precise bonding primer, contemporary limewash paint can be utilized on your drywall internal walls.

Limewash is particularly obliging for homeowners who hate the color of their brick, but not unavoidably the texture.

Because it will go under in, it doesn’t adapt the texture of your brick. This is good news for the brick because they need to breathe, as well as paint isn’t always the finest option.

Limewash assists to defend your bricks and mortar from the constituents. It comes in a variety of earth-tone colors. However, the variety is a bit incomplete.

Limewash is simple to apply with a big masonry brush, and it’s solid so you can control the profundity of color with the number of layers of paint you decide to apply.

Limewash is a simple kind of matt paint produced using lime and water, with or without added substances. Tones are acquired utilizing soluble base safe ("lime-quick") shades, especially metal oxides from normal earths. Pink is regularly connected with Suffolk, for instance, and lively orange with the Lothians. Debasements in early lime regularly created grayish limewash without extra shades, not the present surprising white.

Limewash has been utilized remotely and inside for quite a long time, in particular at the vernacular level. It is reasonable over lime mortar or render, earth dividers, limestone, lumber and most old limewash. It takes less well to solidify render, plasterboard or emulsion, yet might be feasible to apply, especially whenever adjusted for better bond. Limewash is inadmissible for impenetrable materials (stone, hard block, and so on) and first-time limewashing is unwise on sandstone.

Significantly for old buildings, lime Paint has the benefit of being considerably more breathable than most contemporary paints. It can also combine surfaces and, distinct with uniform synthetic coatings, provides attractive colour variations, especially after weathering. Furthermore, limewash is inexpensive and solvent-free.

Helping people plan for funerals

Funeral planning training helps advisers offer support The training focuses on offering support to people who are planning a funeral and 80% of Citizens Advice Bureaux across Scotland now have advisors who are fully trained. The Scottish Government funded Planning for Funerals course is also available to all third sector organisations and others who may be interested on the Child Poverty Action Group website. Cabinet Secretary for Social Security Angela Constance visited West Lothian Citizens Advice Bureau today to meet newly trained staff members and volunteers who provide support.

Peter A Bell's insight:

Do you appreciate living in a country where the government actually seems to like the people? Well, you can forget that if the British Nationalists get their way! You can forget about being listened to! You can forget about being respected! #Referendum2018
