Today's #albumoftheday is a form of doom metal that I like to call distilled despair. Very raw, very dark, pain so real you can touch it. Quite difficult for me to listen from start to finish, but it's a great album. It's the successor and the other side of the coin for Trees of Eternity's "Hour of the Nightingale".

A CD album on orange-brown flooring. Album cover is mostly black, but a broad strip of light gray is painted in the middle, it looks like a beam of light, a window or drapes. Inside the strip there are two white swans, the one above is flying, but the one under the first is falling down and its wings, swept upward, are losing feathers. There is a thin dark gold border about 13mm from all edges except the upper one. Band name Hallatar is in the middle of the golden border at the lower edge in swirly, beautiful dark gold letters and a star within the swirl that starts from the R and ends up crossing the T. Album name "No stars upon the bridge" can be barely made out in tiny gold print letters under band name.

New week, new set in my weekly playlist! 😃

Kickstarting with Helloween's darkest album "The Dark Ride" and a fairly unknown Brazilian Symphonic Metal band called "Eve Desire". :blobthinking:

Three "one-offs" to add more obscurity:

- Dutch act "VUUR" bringing some Prog Metal
- Gothic/Doom act "Trees of Eternity"
- Canadian group "Warpig" and their sole 1972 self-titled release

Brewing #tea removes #lead from #water
High surface area of tea leaves means they adsorb toxic metals released by boiling water.
“We’re not suggesting that everyone starts using tea leaves as a water filter,” said author Vinayak Dravid. “Our goal was to measure tea’s ability to adsorb heavy metals. By quantifying this effect, our work highlights the unrecognized potential for tea consumption to passively contribute to reduced #heavymetal exposure in populations worldwide”
