heavy metal – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

The Recently III

As much as I like beefing up The Diary with poems, sometimes I forget that this is, first and foremost, a personal blog, not just a literary one. Take it easy, Dewey.

With that, I’m going to share slices of my life in the third edition of The Recently.

XXVI: A Peaceful Friday Lunch… Until Motörhead Played

Last Friday, after struggling at work, I had the most amazing Japanese lunch ever… and an almost embarrassing incident.

But before we talk about that, let me bring you back to Thursday.

Song of the Moment LXXX: Ghost’s “Lachryma”

This work week has been astoundingly stressful, and I feel it’s just the beginning of more stress. Because of that, I’m going to make my weekend extra special. For starters, I’m drinking an ice-cold Jack & Coke Zero early while listening to Ghost’s new single, “Lachryma”.

I love the new song because it sounds like old-school Ghost but on another level. And the accompanying music video is amazing—Papa V Perpetua looks hauntingly regal.

The music video of Ghost’s “Lachryma”.

I’m supposed to write more, but now I feel buzzed. Anyway, Ghost’s new album Skeletá will be released on April 25, 2025. I’m excited about it!

Happy weekend, everyone!
