I had a rare find scouring thrift stores today, an actual metal CD. It was a local band called Desolate Angel, with one studio release in the 90's. I fully expected it to be garbage, but it was actually pretty nice. I looked them up, and in the mid-2010's the guitarist revived it and had recorded two whole new albums by himself and was just looking for a vocalist to finish them. Then he passed away in 2019 so, as it stands, that music will be lost forever.

I guess it's just a reminder that the end is inevitable, and we should make the most of our time.
