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.

A deeply unhinged not-review of Ghost Bath’s Rose Thorn Necklace: part love letter, part breakdown, all emotional damage with blast beats.

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.

Another first unlocked! After a year of writing reviews for Stormbringer, I finally tackled my first interview—an email Q&A with ISTAPP’s drummer, Fjalar. No live interaction (thankfully), just pure icy metal vibes and a whole lot of fun. Turns out, I keep surprising myself, and lately, the words have been flowing again.

Pale Swordsman by Këkht Aräkh blends lo-fi black metal with fragile melancholy. A raw, poetic album that pulls you into a world of sorrow, longing, and quiet devastation.
