Review | @terzijdehorde.bsky.social - Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone by @garydavidson.bsky.social

"This is so much more than just an anti-fascist black metal record. The rage, depth and intelligence makes this one of 2025's most vital listens."

I'm only home for 1 week in between work visits to China & I was aiming to make some progress on this model, but managed to finish it all in one day. Here is my Sauron scar-veteran on Aggradon. #Warhammer #ageofsigmar #seraphon #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #miniaturepainting #wepaintminis

"The Spiritual Sound finds this most curious of bands push boundaries with vibrant ideas, a penchant for extreme noise and sublime melodies. Dig in."

Made a new friend in China 🇨🇳. Lovely dog, super friendly and cuddly. I was surprised to see a bully breed in China to be honest, most dogs you see are designer toy dogs.

Review | Afsky - Fællesskab by @martyncoppack.bsky.social

"Thunderous and wrought with emotion, Fælleskab is an album of real intent. Its bleak production echoes the traditional black metal sound."

Reviewed some rather excellent medieval heavy metal. All hail Castle Rat!

Review | Castle Rat - The Bestiary by @martyncoppack.bsky.social

"Whilst their medieval schtick may not pass over to a mainstream crowd, they are sure to be embraced further by that most discerning of music fans, the metalhead."
