From flutes to fog, riffs to ritual, Fortress Festival Day Two pulled me apart—until Agalloch stepped on stage and made it all worth it.

Part IV of my Fortress Festival diary: I panic through my first-ever live interview, barely survive, and descend straight into ritual chaos and fire-breathing black metal. Also, I walked home in socks. As one does.

Part III of my Fortress Festival diary finally brings the music: camera fog battles, emotional black metal breakdowns, interview panic, and the one regrettable vegan burger that ruined everything. Live shows, first rows, and full chaos.

Before the riffs came the chaos: airport meltdowns, British road rage, and Scarborough’s cobbled death traps. Fortress Festival 2025 starts here—with caffeine, cameras, and questionable wardrobe choices.
Brainfog · 24/05/2025
What starts with a concert video ends in domestic pasta delusions. A deeply unserious, wildly specific emotional spiral about Peter Steele.
Genre Tourism · 22/05/2025
A live EP full of goddess fury, distortion worship, and no clean edges. Avowal’s Lessons in Technical Difficulties is loud, raw, and beautifully unhinged.
In The Pit · 17/05/2025
Fortress Festival, birthday dread, and one absurdly small suitcase. A metalhead’s messy countdown to catharsis on the English coast.
Keepers · 11/05/2025
A deeply unhinged not-review of Ghost Bath’s Rose Thorn Necklace: part love letter, part breakdown, all emotional damage with blast beats.
Genre Tourism · 10/05/2025
Dark Folk that lingers like memory: a quiet, atmospheric dive into the music of Osi and the Jupiter—aching, deliberate, and strangely familiar.

I ghosted Moonlight Sorcery's debut in 2023. Big mistake. Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle is a frostbitten, glitter-soaked black metal epic—melodic, ridiculous, and dangerously fun.
