Home roasting is a lot of fun and you can get really good results. I remember back in the day when I was roasting with a heat gun/bread machine combo. I had some green from the same lot as the most well-known roaster here in Portland OR US. Mine was just as good, if not better, than theirs. At that point I knew I was onto something. Now that I've been working on big machines with automation and all that I really miss the fully hands-on process only relying on your senses instead of sensors. I hope you keep on having fun roasting at home, and keep on trying out new coffees. It never gets old! -

The stories are just so good, the musicianship is top notch, and there's nothing more to be said about King's vocals. I'm dipping my toes into the House Of God album. It feels way more straightforward so far but still pretty good.

From early on in their output they already started to get a bit experimental. Then this album dropped. At its core it's a hair metal album which was a massive letdown to their reputation considering that they were formulaic in the now rising death and black metal scenes.
I'm already forming a soft spot for it. Thomas Fischer is a true riff lord and his vocal style is iconic but, hoo boy, do they not mix well in this style of super sleazy and dirty hair metal.
I get it why this is one of the biggest maligned metal albums of all time, but with my defective brain I can see the charm and am now a Cold Lake apologist. -

The definitive edition is very discounted and I've been about to get it a few times.It might be a little more mainstream but does anyone have any strong opinions on Outward?

I remember how proud of myself I was when I was able to stop and would need to use clippers for real. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully shake the urge because I still constantly groom them with my teeth, but I'll continue taking that win.

BuckWylde Link ParentThanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out today.Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out today.
I'm on my 3rd listen of the album and so far this one might be my favorite through-and-through since Old Star. I'm really enjoying the guitar tone, Fenriz's singing (of course), and the production quality. Every time they put out an album I'm reminded that they are absolutely unstoppable. It's crazy - this is their 21st full-length if I counted correctly.
