Such a great album. I immediately snagged the full discography on Bandcamp. It’s like someone tailor-made a musical world just for me.
I have a couple of things on the channel today
First - Asenath Blake, with an album of black metal rooted in Welsh witchcraft, folk horror and medieval beliefs, following the folk horror, magic and melody of her dungeon synth project Gwenwyn.
Another, and a new poll, later!
