Hoaxwind matinee show at Thameside Brewery, Staines. Space is deep. Staines is a long way when a rail replacement bus is involved A silver machine might have helped.

Off to Staines for some space rock shenanigans later with Hoaxwind.

Embers of Dawn - Infernal Culture I found the opener a little too overwhelming myself, after that it settles into a glorious darker, gothic White Zombie stompin' style industrial tinged metal. Out now: embersofdawn.bandcamp.com/album/infern... #MetalSky

Sea Sleeper - Burden of Antlers. This has a weird feel, and a machine gun drum underlying it all. Its kinda progressive, futuristic and retro, calming and scary all at the same time. Out now: seasleeper.bandcamp.com/album/burden... #MetalSky
