Clouds Taste Satanic – *Birmingham 2024is a crushing live-in-studio album that perfectly captures the band’s raw, atmospheric doom metal sound. Recorded at Hellfire Studios during their 2024 European tour, it delivers an unfiltered performance with no overdubs, making it an immersive and powerful listening experience. Tracks like *Collision (Part III)* and *Reclamation (Parts IV-IX)* stand out for their hypnotic heaviness and cosmic depth.
For me, this album is perfect a seamless blend of crushing riffs and vast, space-like atmospheres. *Collision (Part III)*, in particular, feels like it was made for a **space launch video**. Its slow build and monolithic power mirror the tension, energy, and ultimate release of liftoff. I couldn’t help but imagine it soundtracking the STS-6 launch, with its pioneering spirit and historic significance as the first flight of Challenger. The track’s sense of weightlessness and unstoppable force fits perfectly with the moment a shuttle breaks free from Earth’s gravity, heading into the unknown.
STS-6 was the first mission of the Space Shuttle Challenger and the sixth flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program. It launched on April 4, 1983, from Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, and landed on April 9, 1983, at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
Key Mission Details:
Orbiter: Challenger (OV-099) (First flight)
Crew:
Paul J. Weitz (Commander)
Karol J. Bobko (Pilot)
Donald H. Peterson (Mission Specialist)
Story Musgrave (Mission Specialist)
Primary Mission Objective: Deployment of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-1 (TDRS-1) using an Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) booster.
Significance:
First flight of Challenger.
First spacewalk (EVA) of the Shuttle program (Musgrave and Peterson).
Deployment of the first Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-1), improving space communications.
Issues and Challenges:
The IUS booster malfunctioned, placing TDRS-1 into the wrong orbit, but later corrections using the satellite's onboard propulsion placed it in the correct geostationary orbit.
Minor technical problems during launch and EVA, but overall mission success.
Landing: The shuttle safely landed at Edwards Air Force Base on April 9, 1983, after 120 orbits around Earth.
STS-6 was a landmark mission that set the stage for future space operations, including satellite deployments and extravehicular activities (EVAs) in the Shuttle era.
