Swedish black metal outfit Grift can do no wrong in my world, and his Samhain Celebration is another addition to his already exquisite discography. I have my muse Mlle Ghoul to thank for alerting me to this beautiful release. Enjoy.
For this second post in my new Instagram series, I want to focus on, and celebrate Hord an account which brings memories of my Yorkshire homeland back to me in droves.
