LISTEN UP! for 3/2/25
Firstly we have to give props to Charli, Chappell, Gojira and Kendrick for winning at the Grammys - Kendrick once again putting nails in the coffin that was Aubrey Graham’s ‘career’ by winning RECORD OF THE YEAR for Not Like Us (with the final nail to hit during the Superbowl for sure!) and Gojira winning best Metal Performance for their Olympic contribution.
Naturally Lady Gaga gave us a nice surprise by dropping the second single from Mayhem early Monday Morning in the UK - the Siouxsie and The Banshees sampling Abracadabra:
Just need Killah to be the last pre album single - the collab with Gesaffelstein.
Now for my listening for the last week - first off we have the excellent Grief Ritual’s debut Collapse - specifically the pro LGBTQ+ anthem ‘Gnaw’.
Finally got what MIKE is about too with his latest album Showbiz - slowly working my way through his discography:
Next - some fun Scottish thrash courtesy of Black Talon:
Preparing myself for Tyrannus’ second album by reminding myself how hard Unslayable goes - shout out to Mark Doubt for this excellent Eddie Kingston MV to the track:
Throw in the Classic Material: The Breaks series that Apple Music has for good measure and some Prog metal by Lunar to round it all up:
Get ready to open your ears and LISTEN UP! again next Monday…
