Lömsk’s debut full-length album is fantastic!!! I’ve had the single ‘of Iron and Blood’ on repeat since it came out, and the full album does not disappoint. It’s powerful, brutal, melodic black metal at its finest. 🤘🖤🤘 #metalsky lmsk.bandcamp.com/album/act-ii...

Oh. Beato is boomin'🥴 But tbf, if my entire perception of "metal" was based on hazy nostalgic recollection & the contents of the "Hard Rock/Metal" section of your typical suburban-mall CD shop (the one across from the Hot Topic, ofc!), I'd think metal was "dead" too.🧐 youtu.be/CaRC0rPpz1w #metalsky

I am irrationally excited to see my absolute favourite band - Be’lakor - play in Sydney in October. Fourth time seeing them in 3 years. Only Be’lakor could write a kiss-ass metal song about entomology. 🤘🐜🤘 youtu.be/dOh0Z2mxQgU?...
