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.

Original English review of Déhà’s funeral doom masterpiece “Nethermost & Absolute Comfort.” First published in German on Stormbringer.at — now restored to its raw, emotional form.

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.

Turning 39 in sweatpants, blasting Iron Maiden, and re-evaluating life with a metal soundtrack. Existential dread never sounded this good.

Terrasite by Cattle Decapitation: death metal with blast beats, cleanish vocals, and a whole lot of misanthropic energy. A vegan dives in.
