"Visual waterboarding" This production seems to confirm all the fears that arose when this ‘Ring in AI’ was announced. At the very least, it makes for an engaging review (thanks for that, Mark, and lots of encouragement for the rest of this cycle) boulezian.blogspot.com/2026/07/bayr...

I’ve spent many hours recently enjoying HELLRIPPER’s discography. A Scottish one-man speed/black/thrash metal act from James McBain. He recorded his first album (in 2017), “Coagulating Darkness”, at home, with his parents on backing vocals. What a band 🤘 #metalsky

The birthday of Wagner coincides with #WorldGothDay This is The Rhine Gothic. The story of Wotan and the cursed gold. A Gothic tale of madness, betrayal, and eternal lament, whispered in hushed tones by those who dared to remember. www.wagner-heavymetal.com/blog/the-rhi...
The Rhine Gothic
The moon hung low over the jagged peaks of the forested mountains, casting an eerie silver glow on the mist-shrouded Rhine. Deep within its inky waters lay the Rhinegold, a treasure of unimaginable...

And then, on the birthday of Wagner, there’s a new Ring cycle that’s been released. Recorded in Dallas under the baton of Fabio Luisi. #opera
On this day in 1911 (on the 98th birthday of Richard Wagner): The funeral of GUSTAV MAHLER in Vienna.
HOJOTOHO! Welcome to Wagner & Heavy Metal 🤘 www.wagner-heavymetal.com
Leitmotifs, Riffs, Wagner, Heavy Metal
A musical journey from Heavy Metal to Richard Wagner (and back). The site pays attention to the operas of Wagner and the music of heavy metal bands. Looking for the best of both worlds.

ORBI has a new album: THE AGE OF GREED With the central theme being the current state of the world, in which everything – democracy, civil rights and the environment – is sacrificed to big money and the authoritarian tendencies connected with it. www.wagner-heavymetal.com/blog/orbi-th...

Tonight The Oscillating Revenge of the Background Instruments From Mahler to Metallica
The magazine, published to mark the 150th anniversary of the Bayreuther Festspiele, includes a short contribution from Wagner & Heavy Metal. www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/bayreuther-festspiele-magazin-2026-en-small.pdf
Tonight at the Dutch National Opera: Die Passagierin from Weinberg, directed by Tobias Kratzer. Very much looking forward to this.
On a visit to La Scala, at an exhibition of Der Ring des Nibelungen (and no, the photo was not my idea) Have a good Sunday everyone!
Soundtrack for Easter: A Resurrection One of my first CDs of Mahler’s 2nd Symphony, a performance by Hans Vonk and the Residentie Orchestra. I still agree with many of the observations I made nearly ten years ago. It's a performance I love to return to. www.wagner-heavymetal.com/classical-pi...

Another banger for the soundtrack for Easter: Bach the Romantic: Willem Mengelberg’s monumental St. Matthew Passion (1939) with a large orchestra and a 400+ choir. Slow Mahlerian Wagnerian Massive yet transparent. Thanks to the remaster: crank up the volume, and the sound remains stable. 🔥
It's that day of the year again. Which version of Parsifal are you going to play? #GoodFriday
About a trip to Vienna and a visit to an 'anti-anti opera': Le Grand Macabre is a grotesque, absurdist meditation on death, the apocalypse and human folly. An opera that remains, at least in terms of its subject matter, effortlessly relevant in 2026. www.wagner-heavymetal.com/blog/le-gran...
Le Grand Macabre: Ligeti's anti-anti opera in Vienna
There is a moment in Le Grand Macabre where everything finally seems to fall into place: the interlude between scenes three and four. Here, the grotesque humor, the sonic collage, and the fractured...
