A stash of 47 copies of Zero Tolerance Magazine has been in my parent’s loft for several years. Before I saw the box, I was thinking of trying to sell them, but once I started pulling them out, I was smashed with the heaviest wave of nostalgia and started thinking, ‘I don’t know if I can part… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #33 – Probably The Most Random Blog Post Of Them All But Bear With Me

100 Days Of Blogging #14 – Nordic Cult Folk (Solveig)
I don't think I've talked much about my Nordic Cult Folk project. (I mentioned it in my 100 Good Things From 2022, but I think that's about it.) It started as a project to photograph folk in Norway wearing bunad/lusekofte and corpse paint. The project has expanded since my initial idea (which I had a few… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #14 – Nordic Cult Folk (Solveig)
What’s Up? Just Some Big Life Stuff.
A few friends have been asking what's up recently, and giving them a concise answer has been challenging. I've mainly been replying with 'just some big life stuff.' I've been hanging on, as it were, but I didn't realise quite how deeply this 'big life stuff' has been impacting me until yesterday when I went… Continue reading What’s Up? Just Some Big Life Stuff.
CDs, Vinyls, Tapes & Movie Posters That Don’t Actually Exist
I have some excellent friends. One of those friends is Rich Blackett, and though we've never met, he's done more than his fair share of cheering me up when I've felt at a loss. Rich has a talent for transforming my photos into fake cds, vinyls, tapes and movie posters and though I never know… Continue reading CDs, Vinyls, Tapes & Movie Posters That Don’t Actually Exist
A Conversation With Reaper Agency UK About Fortress Festival
My involvement in the UKBM scene has been sporadic at best over the past however many years. But it warms this tattered heart of mine to know my home county of North Yorkshire is being darkened with sell-out shows and festivals featuring some of the very best black metal offerings. It’s been a while since… Continue reading A Conversation With Reaper Agency UK About Fortress Festival

All Those Summer Nightmares : Self-Portraits June/July/August
This devastatingly hot summer is one I would rather forget for reasons I'll inevitably discuss with a therapist. Depression has his heavy paws on my shoulders, so I don't have what it takes today to really talk about my photographic journey these past few months. Also, WordPress has fucked around with the editing functions since… Continue reading All Those Summer Nightmares : Self-Portraits June/July/August
A Wyrd Of Her Own
Oh, hi there. I last posted a stupidly long time ago. Between the times of yore and now, a fair bit has gone on. Five of the most significant things include: moving into a cottage in the North York Moors National Park, revolutionizing my relationship with food*, deleting Instagram, creating balanced days* and not giving up… Continue reading A Wyrd Of Her Own
Wyrd Words & Effigies Interviews Mirusbella
I was having a dreadful day in the hours before I discovered Mirusbella on YouTube and her gorgeous cover of Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger. As I slipped away into the song, life didn't seem so terrible anymore. I may have even smiled. Hailing from Germany, this multi-talented, mystifying artist has been delighting me with her art… Continue reading Wyrd Words & Effigies Interviews Mirusbella
An Interview With Beyond Man
This interview was originally posted on A Hex On Your Head, but I figured it could do with a share here too, as I know some of my wolf pack will appreciate it. Well, isn’t this fucking something! We got Beyond Man for you. A few weeks ago, I threw an email at Meghan with… Continue reading An Interview With Beyond Man
