Sam Neill was truly something to behold on the screen. He could do more with just a simple expression than most actors can with pages of dialogue. My favorite role of his was John Trent from In the Mouth of Madness. RIP, he will be sorely missed.

Been listening to Blood Ceremony for 2 days. Jethro Tull psychedelic doom folk horror vibes. Excellent band, witchy tone all around. Singer plays keyboard and flute. I have a feeling you'd dig this band, @pauljessup.com, if you haven't heard them already. I think a lot of friends would like them.
