Fucking finally, my first concert this year, featuring:
🤘 AOTY contenders Wildhunt (check out Aletheia)
🤘 my last year's AOTY winners Woodquarter's finest Küenring
🤘 And Diamond Falcon who I actually don't know but it's heavy metal so what could go wrong?
#MetalheadConcerts #Wildhunt #Küenring #DiamondFalcon #Arena #Wien

Alright, here it is, my album of the year.
It won't be a surprise to anyone following me because I had nothing but praise for this album throughout the year.
Maybe I am biased because they come from my old hood in the misty hills of the Waldviertel, Austria, but I don't care.
They improved so much and gave me serious Van Halen vibes.
So my album of the year is:
🏆 Küenring - In Search of Paradise 🏆
"Searching for Paradise" migjt as well be my song of the year. Give them a try if you haven't already.
9 track album
Fuckin' love this band🤘

I'm not saying I bought a Küenring t-shirt but that's what I just did.
First: they are awesome
Second: it comes with a free sticker
Third: it's only €20 (excl. shipping)
Fourth: there's a bundle where you get it with their latest album (for the same price)
Fifth: they are looking for a guitarist, but that's unrelated.
Here's the link to the shirt:

...but I'd recommend choosing one of the following from their front page because you get the whole album with it.
Disclaimer: I don't have any business relations with them, I just think they are awesome 🤘
Since there is no #HeavyMetal album on #FletchsFridayReleases list, I shall listen to my favourite heavy metal album from 2025 👇

Here's the 5x5 grid of my most listened albums in Q1 2025.
There's a lot of #HeavySaurus because you want a happy headbanging kid in the car on a road trip.
Further #Küenring, some #REM, some #ManicStreetPeachers and #JudasPriest of course.
Also some fedi bands with @hollowed and Am I In Trouble? (@MetalMinder)
My fondness for the new Küenring album developed into a full blown obsession.
I really like that they upped their bass playing on this record (maybe something that Fedibassits like @sAshA8H @Banur @steffimetal appreciate?).

If you don't know where to spend all your money on, I'd say the new Küenring album is all you ever needed this Friday. If you have a heavy metal heart, that is.
