Rage Cage

First episode of the spring '25, ... I don't know. Even though I still pay attention to all the new music, but been in those classic metal/rock moods lately again. They're great time machine for sure, ... something we could truly use nowadays. But, you know the old saying: Future is what you make of it. Geez, that's HEAVY, Doc! "Heavy?! Weight has nothing to do with it!"
