Here is my 6 character challenge completed... turned out way more detailed than intended but i am glad i had time to work on it. it was really fun, as i got an excuse to draw smol fan arts for musicians that i love :D
surprise surprise, I was not at Joker Out Manchester but went to see Lordi with @submariini and @braveheart1418 😅
Gig report:
the ticket said doors at 18:00, the website 19:00. Very Joler Ot. When we got there at 18:30, doors had been open for a while but the gig didn't start until 19:30, I think
there was a queue for another thing happening. Summer jam. Quite a bit of confusion from that
opener (all for metal) unexpectedly good, hot, and gay
I ship the singers
tit man (singer one) picked up the guitarist and put him on the platform, and later picked up twink (singer two) and carried him on his shoulder
tit man had painted-on abs and sweated them off
bassist in puppy mask and a leather skirt
very cute other guitarist. She was hot
hot photographer. Help.
as is typical for a German band, they mostly spoke English to the crowd
no crowdsurfing bc too many gaps
really chill crowd
Mr Lordi looks exactly like in those ads. Duh
he shot white stuff from a gun at his crotch. The venue got cold

ALL FOR METAL‘s journey leading to August 23, 2024, the release date of their new album “Gods Of Metal” through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), continues since they have arrived in Asian realms where this year officially is the ‘Year Of The Dragon.’ Reason enough for ALL FOR METAL to pay tribute by adding the very same name to their upcoming sophomore album’s title,…
There are a lot of really fantastic singers in power metal, and I am not a fan of labelling any one of them "the best" because they all have different qualities and it's not a competition. That having said, I'm currently totally smitten with Antonio Calanna's voice. I "discovered" him last year, when he was filling in for the singer of Induction for a few concerts. I didn't know that band and never would have guessed that Antonio wasn't their regular singer. He owned those songs with total confidence, throwing out high notes like confetti. (I later discovered that the original versions of the songs don't have those high notes. He just added them becaue he could. I was even more impressed!)
Induction is a really good band, too, but Antonio was the stand-out. I was definitely not the only one who was impressed specifically by him. It's not just the voice, but the stage presence. He really knew how to move and pose on stage, and had decided to dress in a glittery silver shirt with a very low-cut neckline (is it a still a neckline if it's around the boobs?) and he can pull it off because he's also extremely good-looking.
So I decided to check out his own band, All For Metal. They make energetic, anthemic power metal, not very deep but really catchy and with a heavy focus on THE SHOW. Turns out that the silvery low-cut neckline was actually modest by Antonio's standards, since he spent most of the All For Metal concert completely shirtless and with tight leather pants. Like I said, there is a focus on the show as a whole, and the two singers showing off their bodies is very much part of the concept. I am not being shallow, I am appreciating the art as it was intended! :) But honestly, Antonio's voice carries the whole thing. It could carry anything.
Look at this Scorpions cover they did. I crack up every time at 0:57 when Antonio comes in like a total madman.

No notes.
These are not my complete thoughts on All For Metal, but the Tumblr editor is giving me grief, so it will have to do.

How about another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show? Ah… go on, then. As usual, loads of new stuff (well, new-ish considering how long it’s been since the last one). Whatever, there’s loads of stuff from all over the Rock and Metal spectrum, so there’s probably going to be something you’ll like that you’ve never heard before.
Shall we get on?

ALL FOR METAL‘s second studio album, “Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon),” is out now! After facing many adventures along the way to its release, the band let the final ace out of their sleeves. Their impressive ‘Year Of The Dragon’ music video doesn’t only shed light on ALL FOR METAL‘s love for Asia once again, but also literally…
crowley used the metal tool in season 1 to start time, and we learn that he's used it first to start space. to create the stars -- he still remembers how. he still remembers all of heaven's passwords: in the book crowley is described as an optimist because he has the "utter surety... that the universe would look after him". not god, but the universe. and of course he does: he helped create it and he's looking after it, too.
think about it: aziraphale had a sword, but crowley is about to face satan who wants to destroy the world, and crowley's only weapon is a tool of creation
