‘Let’s Choose Our Words Carefully’ live in the underground ruins of a Coventry cathedral.
The opener to my new album ‘Rewilding’, this track takes flight with ultra high gain guitars and synths.
I’ve also been opening my live sets with this track during this month’s touring…

If you are anywhere near this you need to head along, it will be outstanding.

I am moving to the debut album from ANTHRODYNIA (Aug 15 2025) My kind of death doom! And the way it lulls with its immersive atmosphere is WHAT’S UP. Highly recommended if you like the cavernous bunch Spectral Voice, Ossuary, Blood Spore. #Metalsky

Really excited for this wonderous day of #post-metal on Saturday for Helvefest!
A wee solo trip from Glasgow as there was no chance I was missing that line up.
For some insane reason there are still tickets available and only £20: roadtomasochist.co.uk/gigs
