Albums Of The Year (Curated By Me, Big G)

It’s been a good year for the roses, as was said by Elvis Costello recently.  Of course, by “the roses��� he meant music that I, Big G, quite like.  Therefore, to bring us to the end of the year in a flurry of doe-eyed nostalgia for a time not so long ago, I shall now present to you… a list of some albums that some guy heard within the past twelve months.  Five shall be the number of the albums, and the number of the albums shall be five.  I did find it somewhat difficult to cut it down to a mere five.  But to stick to my guns there will be no more, no less, no subtle name drops of the albums which didn’t make the final list, and no honorable mentions.  So, without further waffle, herein lies my 2022 in music presented in release order.

Album: Impera

Artist: Ghost

Genre: Sat-an Halen

Let me be clear.  I’m not dealing with the unoriginal sCoObY dOo MuSiC pish.  Ghost are a rock solid Heavy Metal band and if you can’t see that after listening to Impera… then may you go to heaven when you die and leave Ghost and me on our own in the depths of Hell where we shall have a totally bitchin’ time without you.  

I’m going to make a bold claim about this album.  And that bold claim is that “Kaiserion” is the best opening track on a Heavy Metal album since “The Wickerman” on 2000’s “Brave New World”.  Prove me wrong.  It’s so uplifting in that way that only Heavy Metal can be.  The first half of the album is much the same.  I would say that all my favourite tracks are on Side A.  There’s nothing you don’t want to sing along to.  Not just the vocals…but the guitar solos, the riffs, and the choir parts too.  It’s like a whole half album of Bohemian Raspberries.

Side B does come with a slightly different vibe.  It has two short musical interlude tracks whereas Side A only has the one, so it has fewer full-length tracks to offer.  Two of the four full length tracks are a bit mellower overall, especially “Darkness at the Heart of my Love”.  But if you prefer the upbeat stuff this is where you’ll find “Griftwood” a very Van Halen-esque take on modern satanic arena Metal.  Which is specific, but goodly specific.  And there’s a song called “Twenties” which is…also there!

St Edmund’s Day

The Martyrdom of Edmund from the Passio Sancto Eadmundi. Source: Wikipedia

Today is St Edmund’s Day. Also known as Edmund the Martyr, he was king of East Anglia when the Anglo-Saxon kingdom was attacked by the Viking Great Heathen Army in 869. Edmund led his soldiers out to oppose the invaders but the East Anglians were defeated. Whether Edmund was killed in the battle of Hoxne in Suffolk or taken prisoner by the Danes and murdered thereafter is a matter of dispute. Tradition has it that the Vikings offered to spare Edmund his life and return him to the throne of East Anglia if he would embrace the Norse pagan religion and rule as a Scandinavian puppet. Edmund supposedly piously refused and paid a grisly price: the Viking warriors tied the king to a tree and shot him full of arrows. Sainthood and martyrdom were then mere formalities. Other traditions make Edmund less heroic. It is said that he fled the field of Hoxne and hid under Goldbrook Bridge, but that the glint of his royal golden spurs was spotted by a newly wed couple who immediately gave him away. As the king was hustled away by the Danes, Edmund cursed all married couples crossing the bridge and to this day, newlyweds in Hoxne take an alternative route home.

Edmund was buried in a Suffolk town which appropriately became named Bury St Edmunds thereafter. His feast day remained popular in the county with a special bun being baked and issued to schoolchildren every November 20th. Unsurprisingly it was called St Edmund’s Bun.
