Grief Symposium

It is our honour to confirm that our first album, '...In The Absence Of Light', is live as of this morning via @churchroadrecs Go forth and join the mourners.

@MetalHammer Really, really impressive, have to say.

One of the most exciting bands in British metal put on a special showing for their Download debut loudersound.com/bands-artists/…

@matthewkheafy Phenomenal performance. Loved it.

In 2005 - we hadn’t yet had our break. No one knew who we were. Expect for the UK and Ireland. A bunch of 18 year olds came out at 11am on the MainStage in download to 40,000 people who forever changed the destiny of trivium. The next 21 years were filled with gold records, sold out tours, and topping it off with selling out the o2. 2026. We just had the greatest show of our career - on the main stage - to 60/70,000 people. At download once again. If 2005 gave us that many amazing things in the span of 21 years - I can only imagine what 2026’s show will hold for us. Thank you download, thank you to our devoted supporters. We love you.

Nothing hammers home that back to reality slump after a festival visit high quite like finding yourself in Sainsbury's buying tomatoes.

Juat saw Lowen at Download. Captivating and incredible. So much in and to their music... wow, thank you!

Electric Callboy was the most fun I've had at non-headlining a festival set. Absolutely won the day. And Cavalera were the true headliners. Igorr is a beast, and Chaos AD set was victorious #DownloadXXIII

Dusk... and Her Embrace. My gym buddy for 30 (!) years. I do slightly prefer the feral Original Sin versions, tho the beauty (that slept in sodom) is, we get to have both music.youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@JBradshawLLB @NigeSavage I "heard" that in snooker referee voice 🤣

@NigeSavage Foul. And a miss

Posh do tonight, innit 🤘🥂

@cainalikehyena Now too, tbh

One of the best noises in a song ever is still Sepultura's Baby Godzilla "Rarrr" music.youtube.com/watch?v=deuYKq…

Absolute rager. Non-stop banger Anthems. #NowPlaying Sum 41 - Does This Look Infected? music.youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@WideyMcKnacker You get what what you were hoping for from your request?

@GriefSymposium Yeah, it is an odd thing. Very good at trawling through logs, analysing complex systems and using APIs, but often completely nuts about sensible solutions to the issue presented to it. It's not intelligent, but it can be helpful

Should be doing some work but it's too hot so I've described the issue to AI and am seeing if it can come up with a solution while I sip red wine. I fear some peasants in near-sea level lands may suffer for my sins.

@WideyMcKnacker All is wanted was update my slide deck from a year ago with this new information, and make it less jargon as I never liked the previous tone. Got pure corporo-bollox with zero data I'd asked to be in there. That said, it takes a tonne of snark out of some of my emails, so

Taking a break from liking posts sharing the love for Mando / Grogu to say... fking Deathhammer! Rifffffffs! Massive, massive track on a huge album. music.youtube.com/watch?v=qpkpa1…

Mandalorian / Grogu is an absolute blast of a film. Loved it. Great fun action film. And you cant teach that.

@jdeeimi Is it genuinely worth going in on? Big fan of Abrahadabra, but Eonian bored the arse off me

Their best album for years, belter

@KMANRIFFSMetal @sEYEmon @LFCMFighter @JBradshawLLB @knack227 @ExtremeMetalDad @SteinerMetal @MetalPrecieux @DeathDoomed @deadlystormzine @MorbidXMetal The worthiest of worthy submissions. The Tennest of Tens.

👑MOUNTAIN KINGS3⃣0⃣0⃣👑 Submission: BOLT THROWER - Those Once Loyal 🇬🇧(2005) A disciplined, war‑themed Death Metal cannon - TOL drives forward with dense, grinding riffs and a steady, unyielding pace. Deliberate, and unwavering, it captures BT's battle‑hardened sound.#MK300👑

Over on threads someone presented the opinion that bullet for my valentine's 'The poison' is better than any record trivium has put out. Does anyone here agree with this?

@nic_loves_metal That's a strong looking tea! Approved 🤘

I’ve got tea, and weekend off 🙌 Good morning ☕️

Nevermore and Sanctuary evening tonight. Great Proper Metal (not meant in a gatekeeper way, just this is top, top, shit) #Riffts
