I have been transformed this afternoon, by Nordic folk project L.E.A.F performing the folk song Vinda with Helisir, a folk/pop project with Northern influences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B907iS6ugFs

Sound Of The Day : Stilla
Greatly enjoying the latest Stilla album Skuggflock tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4VI09ghNMM
Sound Of The Day : Galdrammen
A few weeks ago, I received a lovely message from the talented musician behind one of my favourite atmospheric black metal projects Crown of Asteria, and she told me of another venture she had undertaken called Galdrammen. Life has been beyond hectic recently, so it was only today that I managed to sit down and… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Galdrammen
Sound Of The Day : Panphage
It's been too long a while since I've listened to the excellent Swedish one man black metal project Panphage, but this afternoon I'm all over Landrensning, a track taken from the upcoming album Drengskapr, due for release by Nordvis on November 18th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZKlhRyIJUw
365 Days Of Dark Art : 294 / Crystal Morey
The past months my words here have been sparse. My creativity has been elsewhere, and forming sentences worth your time has been challenging, to say the least, without her encouragement. This has been horribly frustrating. Whenever I haven't been able to convey exactly how an artist's work makes me feel, well, a little piece of… Continue reading 365 Days Of Dark Art : 294 / Crystal Morey
Sound Of The Day : Wardruna
The third Wardruna album Runaljod (Ragnarok) has come ashore, and is available for your listening pleasure now, both digitally and in physical format! I streamed the whole album on Spotify yesterday, and found myself on the verge of tears multiple times. Wardruna have played an incomparably valuable role in my musical evolution, and I've been… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Wardruna
Sound Of The Day : Myrkgrav
YouTube surprised me this morning with a new track from Norwegian blackened folk project Myrkgrav. I first encountered Myrkgrav several years ago, and have always enjoyed the offerings from Lars Jensen when I've caught up with them. So naturally, I was somewhat saddened to hear that Jensen's forthcoming album 'Takk og farvel; tida er blitt… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Myrkgrav
Sound Of The Day : Aurora
Looping Aurora's delicate, alluring cover of Walking In The Air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKiQJYMIswQ
Sound Of The Day : Ayla Nereo
I have Sarah E. of Unquiet Things to thank for today's sound. My heart has been adopted by Ayla Nereo and her song Whispers from her fifth full length album, The Code Of The Flowers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WT5wB9WciQ
Sound Of The Day : Bathory
I've been on a Bathory binge of late, and I can see it continuing for some time to come. I've honestly lost count of the amount of times I've pressed repeat for The Lake. I'm addicted to the shivers it sends down my spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCUx5WKIZ1E
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
