Book Review – Black Metal: European Roots & Musical Extremities (Ed. Troy Southgate)
Whenever I hear about the publication of a new book on the subject of Black Metal, I pounce and pre-order. When the tome arrives, I savour it, lapping up every word, sometimes putting it back down after one chapter, to return to it the following day, so as to make it last longer. My first… Continue reading Book Review – Black Metal: European Roots & Musical Extremities (Ed. Troy Southgate)

Interview : Ovate
There is a real air of mysticism around Audrey Cantwell, the women behind independent clothing line Ovate, and I feel exceptionally lucky that she agreed to take part in an interview for Wyrd Words & Effigies.

Herr Mannelig
Herr Mannelig is one of my all-time favourite songs. I was introduced to Swedish band Garmarna when I was in Olso one winter a few years ago, staying with a Finnish friend.

Theodor Kittelsen Worship
I was in Newcastle the other night for a gig at the Northumberland Arms when I got talking to Keith Stewart, a bloke so passionate about the work of Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, that he decided to have some of the great man’s creations tattooed onto his arm. Keith currently has half an arm’s worth… Continue reading Theodor Kittelsen Worship

Thale
I watched 'Thale' a quietly beautiful, haunting Norwegian film based on the myth of the 'Huldra' a few months back, but it's only recently that I was alerted about the entire soundtrack being available on Spotify. I must have played it over about twelve times now, so thought it about time to say something about… Continue reading Thale
