The Sherdukpen are traditionally Tibetan Buddhist (Mahaya group) of the Gelugpa sect, though the influence of Tibetan Bonpo shamanistic and animistic tradition is still retained. #asia #india #arunachalpradesh #gompa #prayerwheel #ethnic #religion #buddhism #monastery

Phil SherryHighlights for me:
- Friday Hit a Low: drummer sings the big rock ballad.
- Jack Knife: quality chugging riff, one of them obviously likes Slipknot.
- Tranquil Mind: pop metal with huge riffs and a super-catchy chorus.
- Popsong: “…’cause this shit sells.”
- Crush: worth it just to hear how he rhymes ‘bikini’ in the first verse.
I must share the music of a band I bumped into when I lived in Stockholm, many years ago: Gompa. They uploaded some of their songs to the site I was building there, so I had a listen and I was hooked. They even asked me to manage them!
A mix of Swiss, English, and Swedish musicians, with vocals shared by the guitarist and the drummer. The tunes are catchier than Covid, but there’s plenty of metal chug as well. I still love this band. ❤️
