loved the first demo from this project. glad to see a second - a year later.

Visceral otherworldly trance from a cladenstine location in the British Isles.

I started my day with the new Terzij de Horde. This shit is unrelenting (complimentary), and there’s a lot of cool and subtle twists and turns. It’s a seriously cool album terzijdehorde.bandcamp.com/album/our-br...

threw herself into the line of fire. a selfless act, no doubt.

waiting on the bbc to fill every news bit with Zack Polanski's comments from Question Time last night like they would be doing for Farage if he was on.

he's a party leader, you see.

Any time now they're going to start.

NLORG ARMY REPRESENT!!

Always pushing the limits of what black metal and sanity can take, pulling the threads of reality and unravelling the very seams of the worldly fabric, Nlorgpipe open another portal into an odd universe of hall of mirrors mayhem.

ehhh, I can't post to Instagram Reels from Meta Suite. Nothing happens, it just doesn't work.

this is an unfortunate inconvenience. Can't post Reels directly through the website. cba to reformat my teaser.

showing my ineptitude here probably

maybe 20 posts will all pop up later when they fix it.

Yeah, the shipping is deadly. it’s the same price for me to the UK. Hoping someone does another run of tapes so I can get one.

Transmissions from the Dark @transmissionsftd.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, we’ve seen that a couple of times. Sweet Tooth is kind of similar too, though even less monstery

this still seems to have potential. My daughter is still looking for a film to match Skull island - but that has characters. i can't really see this being the same in that regard, even if it mght haver cool monsters.

though on that, the trailers are looking increasingly like video games.

so...?!

AOTY contender, I tell you.

one for fans of the raw hypnotism of Erancnoir, Vegard, Arkhtinn, Paysage d'Hiver, Make a Change, and of course, the primitive shimmer of bootzum

Warring goblin fantasy synth, spiked with a bit of ~wave and chiptune.

Second release from Blaggard Recortds whose debut is one of my favourites of the year. So far, so very cool label.

Nice to finally get back over 50k views in a month.

I don’t quite understand why I can’t get anywhere near what it was before I changed the name, but I’ve been trying lots of little things, and they seem to be starting to pay off.

Let’s see how October goes
