Enjoying the new Deserted Fear “Drowned by Humanity”.
Got two albums. Not offensive but nothing new - by all means I should enjoy them but haven't really given them much airtime. Perhaps I should revisist.
New one certainly appealed straight away. Production is sweet (perhaps a little too clean?), leads add a layer of melody over the riff.... has a bit of an At the Gates feel to it. Standard fare as you say.
Gotta buy a new tripod for the gym (broke the leg on my previous one when I threw it this past Sunday) so will see if Bourke St has it then. 4 deliveries today. Osmose now wrapping its orders in tape which reads "Destroying your souls since 91" or something to the effect. Might need to start saying "it is for my son" if questioned. Haha.
Why did you throw your ‘tripod’?
I don’t think the new one is significantly different from the previous (Dead Shores Rising) save for slightly punchier production? Might be the headphones I’m listening through.
Wasn't an angry throw - just had finished filming something and threw it towards my bag. Landed awkwardly and bang.
Were you filming yourself in the gym...
Ok I will bite. I film all working sets. I do powerlifting and you need to analyse your lifts to understand form, sticking points, areas which can be improved etc. It is very helpful, particularly if you don't have a coach with you. Even if you have a coach it is helpful as sometimes people need to see a form issue to understand that they have it. I'd say most lifters I know film their training (olympic lifters too). FWIW I was squatting and had a long sleeved shirt on.
So much gym talk. I need to get back into it, let myself go and need to shed a few kegs. Body has been breaking down due to work, gets worse because I have neglected exercise, and exercise is hard to get into because my body feels broken. Vicious cycle. Did something stupid today so on the Voltaren which doesn’t help.
I started 3 nights a week in the gym when I was in U17s football. This was a serious mapped out & supervised program even at that age. Until I was 33-34 I felt guilty if I missed a session. I’m still in shape for sure but that seems like a lifetime ago.
The thing is once you kinda stop (getting married, having a kid changes everything) it’s really hard to get back to the dedication you had. Nowadays I’ve a basic gym set-up in my own house and I hardly use it. I do run 2-3 times a week and watch what I eat.
You’d be surprised how much of a difference just a few little tweaks in your weekly routine will help. And this in turn feeds you to do more etc.
Old mate Voltaren. Used to know him so well....
Been enjoying a fair bit of Merrimack recently, decent black metal I guess.
Enjoying this new Rotting Christ. I’d recommend the deluxe edition with the two bonus tracks as these are pretty good.
Going to JB later. Hope it is there.
