The Witches & Wraiths Of Instagram : Sin Eater

4 Nov 20154 Nov 2015 wyrdwordsandeffigiesLeave a comment

I have long been a fan of the work of UK based artist Sin Eater and his intricate, hand drawn works of dark magic. When I visit his Instagram page, everything else ceases to exist and I am, for that moment, lost in his world of black lines and shadows.

New Video From K.F.R.

Are you ready to be deeply, and I mean really fucking deeply unnerved? I'm taking unnerved Begotten level here... Yeah? Then I suggest you pop the lights off and watch the new video from French black metal project  K.F.R. Directed and edited by Benjamin Champenois and Maxime Taccardi, this is a work of dark genius.

Sound Of The Day : Myrkur’s Playlist

4 Nov 20154 Nov 2015 wyrdwordsandeffigiesLeave a comment

A little while ago, my Facebook news feed informed me that Danish one woman black metal project Mykur had made a Scandinavian folk/classical/choral playlist on Spotify, so I simply had to check it out. And oh...my friends...it is utterly wonderful.

Sound Of The Day : Hermóðr

Honestly, Hermóðr might possibly be one of my favourite projects of all time. Everything, and I really do mean everything that emerges from this project is never short of perfect. The most recent offering is a haunting single entitled The Scent of Autumn.

Sound Of The Day : Grimirg

I've been a fan of the Finnish black/folk/doom project Wyrd for a long time, and was stoked to discover that vocalist Grim 666 has a very promising funeral doom/ambient side project called Grimirg. Click on the video below to hear the first track from the debut album MMXV-I.

Denim And All

I'm going slightly crazy for the clothing and accessory offerings from German based Etsy store Denim And All, especially their scarves and massively oversized denim and leather tote bags.

American Ghoul

I know next to nothing about conceptual photographer American Ghoul...but I'm obsessed with his/her creepy, thought-provoking photographic offerings.
