The Horrors Of The End
It's been twelve days since I bolted from my partner's apartment and fled through downtown Reykjavik, frantically searching for somewhere to duck into where I could order a drink, plug in my laptop and figure out what in hell my next move would be.

A Wyrd Of Her Own

Hell, I could hardly find… Continue reading My Best Wyrd Buys & Gifts Of 2015

Interview : Ragnar Bragason, Director Of Metalhead (Málmhaus)
Films like Metalhead come along once in a blue moon...if that. This portrayal of an emotionally wounded young woman, who finds solace from her grief in heavy metal, is one of the strongest, most poignant films I've ever encountered. I feel exceptionally proud to feature this interview with the director of Metalhead, Ragnar Bragason. When… Continue reading Interview : Ragnar Bragason, Director Of Metalhead (Málmhaus)
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
