My favorite Slovakian power metal band has a new single out, and music video to accompany it. Ronnie König, the band’s founder and bassist:

“As most of our fans know, we started working on the Beyond Spacetime album with an incomplete line-up. We didn’t have a permanent singer, so we decided to approach it the same way we did with the Exodus album back in 2013, by inviting guest singers. However, then life happened and arranged everything for us in a very special way: during the recording process, we reconnected with two of our former singers, Mayo Petranin and Jota Fortinho, and together we decided it would be amazing to welcome both of them back into the band. To celebrate and highlight this reunion, we did a brand-new song featuring both of them singing together. The title of the song is ‘Echoes of Glory.’ This reunion isn’t just for this one track — it’s for the years to come! The line-up you see in the video is the one that will also play live.”

Mayo was the band’s lead singer when I first learned of Signum Regis, and it’s great to see him back in the fold. Here’s “Echoes of Glory”:

Stryper is releasing a new album this fall, Throne of Thorns, and have a released a music video of the title track:

It’s just amazing how these guys haven’t lost their fastball. You can hate them all you want, but you cannot deny they’re still bringing it from a talent perspective.

This is pretty great. Love Seth’s enthusiasm. That transition at 4:20 is <chef’s kiss>.

If, like me, you were working today and missed the second running of the Wienie 500, never fear. Courtesy of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the full replay is on YouTube. It’s like one long dad joke with double entendres, and it is GLORIOUS.

In the ’80s TV show Airwolf, Jan-Michael Vincent’s character, Stringfellow Hawke, played the cello. So it’s only natural that someone (in this case, Samara Ginsberg), has arranged the show’s ’80s-techno theme song for the cello. Eight, in fact:

I’m a third of the way through @JosephLoconte’s incredible The War For Middle-Earth (yes, I’m calling it incredible even though I haven’t finished with it yet, because what I’ve read so far is incredible). This interview with @AndyAndrews is fantastic:

As with everything, the Law of Unintended Consequences (vis-a-vis government bureaucratic requirements in the power industry) remains undefeated:

You’ve probably heard or seen a thousand different ads for a VPN, promising all sorts of security from hackers and the like. Josh has a really good breakdown here of why nearly all of that is a load of malarky, and what you should use a VPN for:

And if you don’t currently use a VPN, but would like to start, I heartily recommend ProtonVPN or Mullvad. I personally use both (depends on device and circumstance), and have been very happy with them.

December of this year marks the 35th anniversary of the first PowerBooks shipping to customers. If only Apple would take the opportunity to bring back that classic brand name.

A couple of weeks ago the guys in Weapons of God released a video for “Double Barreled Medicine,” off their 2025 album TRIbulation. The video features mostly footage from their set at Immortal Fest 2025 in Versailles, Ohio, along with submissions from fans.

Love this song. Great riffs, Leon’s gravely vocals, it’s just a lot of fun.
