Reviews on apollo cloud 20173/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Having seen them ignite the New Cross Inn two years ago, new album “ Malicious Intent” has served them well and if you pardon the Pantera pun, taken them to a new level. A bruising 30 minute set that combines Sludge Metal and Hardcore elements sees security tested early doors as the crowd surfers go up in between circle pits. Sheffield Shredders Malevolence may not have been on the original line up of this event but make their presence felt as their stock is at an all time high. It was also a show which saw us gain a new found respect for vocalist Riley Gale, a man who has sadly since departed this World while leaving a lasting legacy. The set of Power Trip from that night living long in the memory as the band suffered many a fainter, needing to stop playing so people could be rescued on multiple occasions. That was a pre-pandemic show at Brixton Academy on the tour for “ The Sin And The Sentence” that took place in the heat of a summer. It’s actually hard to believe how much the World has changed since the last time we saw Trivium live. The cancellation after the rescheduling this tour, originally booked in December 2020 would have not only been unpalatable but unthinkable so credit where credit is due, the show must go on and it does. ![]() As a dark cloud remains over Brixton Academy the organisation required to move tonight’s show across London to the Hammersmith Apollo (the only other 5000 capacity venue in the city at what seems very short notice) to ensure goes ahead has to be applauded. ![]()

Dead cells soundtrack spotify3/26/2023 ![]() ![]() I might as well round out the DLC soundtracks by including Anthony Marinelli’s score to Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars, the latest expansion for Ubisoft’s Montana cultist-killing simulator. Listen: YouTube Buy: CDJapan (physical, import) Listen to these songs if you intend on staying fresh. Anybody who speaks ill of Pearl and Marina has lost the capacity to feel joy, in my opinion. Splatoon continues to sound like nothing else in games, and I’m constantly charmed by how successfully Nintendo keeps the game’s soundtrack tied up in its characters and world. I held off mentioning it until this month’s roundup, because as of mid-July, there’s now an official soundtrack release! Sure, you’ll have to import a physical copy, but the important thing is that there’s a legit way to get ahold of these fabulous tracks. Speaking of DLC released in June, Splatoon 2 got a big chunk of new ink-splatting fun in the form of its Octo Expansion. Listen to them, then go read about how that Lovecraft story is a precursor to Annihilation. There are only five songs on this little EP, but every one of them is good stuff. Chatwood’s music is dark, intense, and oppressive. Accordingly, the game has received a few new tracks from composer Stuart Chatwood, whose work on the Prince of Persia games I’ve always liked. Lovecraft story (“The Colour Out of Space” - it’s one of his least problematic!). ![]() Listen: Spotify – Bandcamp Buy: Amazon – iTunesĭarkest Dungeon – Color of Madness DLC by Stuart ChatwoodĪt the tail end of June, Darkest Dungeon received some new DLC: The Color of Madness, an homage to what is unquestionably my favorite H.P. ![]() Don’t pass this album over like I did when it first dropped on Laulan’s Bandcamp page - listen to it immediately! It’s full of strings, choral samples, and percussion that always seems to push the action forward. It’s gotten praise for its evocative art and its punishing difficulty, but of course I zeroed in on the wonderful soundtrack by Yoann Laulan. Dead Cells is a side-scrolling platformer with a heavy emphasis on Metroid- style exploration and a heaping helping of procedural generation. Whatever the case, folks have been singing the praises of Dead Cells for more than a year, and it’s finally going to see an official release on PC and consoles any day now. I’m never sure whether to include a game as soon as its soundtrack releases, or wait until the game is officially out to highlight its tunes. Phew! At least we’ll never be wanting for excellent video game soundtrack albums.ĭead Cells – Soundtrack Part 1 by Yoann LaulanĮarly Access games bedevil me to no end when writing these roundups. I’m old enough to remember when summer meant a few measly crumbs’ worth of interactive entertainment! Back in my day, we gnawed on the bones of late spring’s JRPGs until our characters were level 99 and we’d beaten all the optional bosses - they were all we had until the late autumn harvest of new titles! These days, all it means for games to have a “summer slump” is that the monthly avalanche of AAA titles is replaced by a bounty of smaller games, DLC, and swimwear-themed events in our preferred Games As Services. Greetings, friends! We’ve made it through July, and with it what little remains of what was once the video game summer release doldrums. ![]()

Reminders on iPad works with the Apple Pencil Scribble for easy transitioning between other projects. In Reminders, you can build and organize multiple to-do lists, as well as map out your schedule for the day, week, year or further out. If you need an extra boost, Apple's Reminders app is a helpful to-do list option. Your notes will sync across all your Apple devices that are logged in on the same account. ![]() To further customize, you can organize your notes into folders and lock private notes with individual passwords or your fingerprint. You can also swap between light and dark mode, scan documents, add grids and lines, and more to make the app work best for you. You can start typing notes or ideas, switch to your Apple Pencil (if you're using Notes on iPad) and add checklists without altering the note's original structure. There's a bit more flexibility with note construction compared to other apps. ![]() Apple NotesĪpple's Notes app, like Google Keep, is a handy place to keep notes, checklists, articles, photos and more. You can even add dates and times to your tasks, and Google will automatically add it to your calendar.

With a Gmail account, Google will sync your notes across platforms, so you can add and edit from anywhere. Either way, you can get these notifications on your phone, PC or both. And if you have to set an alarm to remember to open the app and check your to-do list, I'm certainly not judging. Tapping the reminder bell in the top right corner of the screen lets you set specific alarms. When you've finished a task, tap the box next to the item and it'll appear in a collapsable list of finished tasks. This will start a more traditional to-do list style note. If you're looking for a more structured checklist layout, open the app and tap the little box with a checkmark at the bottom of your screen. I like that Google Keep populates the article headline as well as a key image so you're not trying to parse through dozens of URLs. I also have a few notes where I've saved articles for later. The app lets you color-code notes and pin important notes for easy access. Google Keep is one of my favorite places to make lists and notes. ![]() Check out some of my favorite task apps: Google Keep There are dozens of to-do list apps to help you get organized and maintain the habit. ![]() Ultimately, it's about finding what works best for you and your lifestyle.
