The Stadsklooster in Utrecht on Sunday night was equally special, the same trio and repertoire more or less, but a totally different concert - and my goodness what an audience you were! 😍 📷 1 - Amsterdam Metal Scene 2 - Mark Deeks #churchconcerts #ambientmusic #blackmetal #onstage #touring

Prophecy Festival was incredible, wonderful for all three of us! Mark Deeks, Aaron Stainthorpe & I had such a profound experience performing tracks from each of our repertoire, some scripted, some improvised, all existing just in that moment ❤️‍🔥 📷 Carston Brand #concert #collaboration #cave #magic
