I have been thinking about The Babadook a lot lately...predominately because I have to go into the bowels of the fucking earth to get my bike, and down in the cellar its dark as shit. For reasons unbeknown, I've started to think he's going to turn up at the end of the corridor when I… Continue reading Dress Me In Horror : Part IV
I am going to be perfectly honest and say that I wasn't even going to give Behemoth's Nergal's side project Me And That Man a chance...a heard something about jazz and that put me right off. But then I thought to myself 'stop being so bloody narrow minded.' So I ended up firing it up… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Me And That Man
I was lost today, with no idea which Instagram account I was going to feature. So I just scrolled through my feed until I landed upon an image from an account which suitably shifted my soul around. The account turned out to be @ethereal.wisp Alice Langton is the sweet soul behind the magical account. It's… Continue reading Intriguing Instagrammers : Ethereal Wisp
The Queen of the dark Chelsea Wolfe is on fire with the track 16 Psyche taken from her upcoming album Hiss Spun. If I'm being dead honest with you, this is one of my all-time favourite offerings from the Wolfe. The name "16 Psyche" conjures up images of a dusty bar, replete with spirits and… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Chelsea Wolfe

Not furry as in wolf furry, furry as in ex-anorexic furry. As a result of having a furry face, makeup refuses, and I… Continue reading Soul Eater Lips
The other week I stumbled across a random image and saved it on my desktop so that I could, at a later date, dive into the depths of the internet and find out what I could about the artist behind the work. The piece of art which I saved was this... ...and it was created… Continue reading Art In The Dark : Akira Kusaka
I am fucking obsessed with this cover of Bad Moon Rising by Mourning Ritual. And I'm predicting that in about four minutes you will be too. You're welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNjgfTfQjCQ
Vulnicura is, I think, of Björk's greatest achievements. The word 'masterpiece' was created for that fucking album, I tell you. Whenever Björk so much as breathes I'm there... At the moment I'm all over her video for Notget, the 6th track on Vulcinara. The song, for a start, is just layer upon layer of perfection,… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Björk

For someone who eat, sleeps, breathes black, I shouldn’t have, in theory, fallen madly, deeply in love with Mermaid Toast . But I did. The Insta-toast-artisans captured what looked like the Aurora Borealis in cream cheese. Of course I was going to be impressed. But naturally, I needed to go against the grain, and I… Continue reading Cooking In The Dark : Witch Toast
