Boundary stones in the local wood that mark the old border between the church parishes. The first and second larger markers are respectfully on either side of one of the round barrows creating a spiritual and temporal "neutral zone". The third smaller stone is inscribed 1864. #history #skystorians 🗃️

As a kid when "Live After Death" came out I inhaled the double album and the VHS and for me it remains the definitive Maiden live album. But Ye Gods this runs it very, very close indeed. #metalsky #heavymetal #ironmaiden #nwobhm

A big favourite from 2024. Epic old school heavy metal drenched in Warhammer 40K mythology. This should be getting more attention so if posting here gets them one more listener then great. Death Valley Knights - "Call of the Warmaster Vol 1". #heavymetal #metalsky #warhammer40k #nwothm

Getting into heavy metal and working backwards. There's a band called Angel Witch. The first album is called "Angel Witch". The first song is called "Angel Witch". The cover is a C19 painting called "The Fallen Angels Entering Pandemonium". And you love it forever. #metalsky #heavymetal #NWOBHM

Still getting familiar with how things work on here so just going to put this out there. The mighty Death Angel are coming to the @thebookinghall.bsky.social in Dover on Monday 16 June. Wow. #metalsky #heavymetal #thrashmetal #deathangel #dover #livemusic

Not an expert on atmospheric black metal but I listen to this a lot. One of our lad's favourite bands, we saw them in London last summer and they were phenomenal. Also chatting with them afterwards they were lovely and humble people. NP Cân Bardd - "Devoured By The Oak". #metalsky #heavymetal

Anyone else a fan of Cirith Ungol? Took a punt on this back in the day without hearing a note because of the Tolkien name and Elric artwork. Never looked back. One of my favourite bands and finally got to see them live last September for their last ever GB show. #metalsky #heavymetal #cirithungol

"An Arrest for Witchcraft in the Olden Time" - John Pettie (1866). Finding this painting very affecting. #art #witchcraft
