Didn’t expect it to be at the cinema, so that’s pretty cool, even though it’s so limited. Keeping it kvlt, I guess

Received a grotesque Reform proaganda leaflet in the post.
Posted about it in the local facebook group.

Today, on my way to Antalya for a Society conference.
Might not do channel posts the rest of the week - got one coming today, then am unprepared.

Exclusive stream of the second album from Of Fog and Night - Alte Täler.
A solitary descent into misty valleys and forgotten echoes; a clearing among starlit pines, where black drone ambient and nature-inspired dungeon synth merge in haunting unison.

At Mac deMarco in Bristol with the kids. It’s a cool venue.
They made me get here before doors, and ran to the front as soon as they opened.

This Friday, Fiadh will be releasing tapes “I,” the debut release from Irish atmospheric black metal project Ossarian.
In the words of @transmissionsftd.bsky.social who introduced us to this album, I is “a rugged, harsh exploration of the power of nature, isolation and spiritual healing.”
