Jerry Cantrell – "I Want Blood"
And I'd be happy to give you some of mine, Jerry
The Crown – "Crown of Thorns"
This is pretty much organized auditive violence
A brief glimpse into the metal grassroots of a small country, but with big potential
D-A-D – "Speed Of Darkness"
[Insert Flogging Molly joke here]
See if you can guess which city we're in
Just in case you're reading this before watching the video, I'm not gonna mention the name of the city here. But I will give you the same hints as in the video:
Dark and quiet Ionian post-sunset vibes
Yeah, you may wanna turn up your device lights and sound for this one. This time, we're chilling by the beach after sunset on a Greek island that virtually just got deserted overnight, and it's getting darker and darker due to that whole thing with the sun setting and all.
HammerFall – "Avenge the Fallen"
No, it's not fucking power metal, and neither is Manowar.
Orden Ogan – "The Order of Fear"
Praise the kings of the underworld!
R.I.P. Paul Di'Anno, 1958 – 2024
"I shall return from out of the fire"
Finally, some closure and relaxation
Finally, Kathleen comes to visit me in Tbilisi, and we start to turn the last horrendous six weeks' shitshow around. Here, we're celebrating our penultimate night in a place I started out liking but that I've ended up hating due to this last month and a half of horrible experiences.
Cavalera – "Schizophrenia"
This year, a slighter rectification of slighter problems
Black Country Communion – "V"
"Vee have vays of raacking your face off, jaa?"
Nile – "The Underworld Awaits Us All"
If you think you're in a river in Egypt, you're in deNile...
"Here I am, cleaning off mold..."
The title says a lot this time around.
"So, this is me, painting..."
Back in Tbilisi, Georgia (the country, you idiot). Not for the regular explorative purposes, though, but because I've gone ahead and bought a damn metal bar here.
Yes, here we finally are in Hamburg. Not for long, though, because as I'm saying, I'm moving on down south pretty soon. (Actually, southeast, but stay tuned for an update on that.) And sorry about those cars in the background. We tried to stop them.

Yes, here we are again – this time on Lake Skadar in Montenegro, bordering up to Albania.
