I watched The Revenant at the weekend and it blew me the fuck away. Truly magnificent, heart-wrenching, terrifying cinema which makes you re-evaluate life, nature and the importance of those close to you. The soundtrack was utterly exquisite and I highly recommend you give it a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU4gP47J07Q

Heads up folks...The debut album Dauðra Dura from Swedish ambient project Forndom is now available to stream via Spotify. I have given it a listen and, like all his other releases, it's utterly exquisite.

Today was a weird one for music. I was going through material from about half a dozen bands which I hadn't heard before, and nothing was working for me. I was beginning to think that today was a lost cause, when I remembered about the masterpiece of an album that is Exercises In Futility by… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Mgla

Today I've been listening to the most recent full-length Last Night, Before The Storm...and it's pretty fucking exquisite. If you like Lustre but want something with a… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Shadowland
