Hot on the heels of the Underdark announcement, my band Urzah have now been invited up to Manchester to open this absolutely stacked alldayer. Wild times.

The Spiritual Sound, by Agriculture 10 track album

@agriculturemusic.bsky.social were my favourite surprise discovery at Roadburn '24 - this week I chatted to them about art, joy and all things guitar.

Feature up on Guitar World in a few weeks🖤

New album is sounding huge: agriculturemusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-sp...

Underdark's 'Managed Decline' was one my favourite black metal releases of recent years, been trying to catch them live for ages; now my band @urzah.bsky.social will be supporting them on my home turf, Cardiff. Unbelievable.

Awesome stuff - Kodok is such a great album, cannot wait to play with these guys in Bristol in a few weeks.

City 17 / The Night Does Not End, by Burner 2 track album

It's Bandcamp Friday, you know the deal.

We're recording a new album this year, everything helps! Share our tunes with folks who might like it.

My band @urzah.bsky.social are recording our 2nd album in October, so if you'd like to support us you could do a lot worse than buying these sick patches and shirts 🖤

Britain’s Urban Working-Class Invented Metal Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath were a product of post-war Britain’s industrial heartland. But today, for Birmingham, metal, and young working-class people, those conditions could not be further away.

Great piece on Sabbath, class and access to the arts by Fraser Watt: tribunemag.co.uk/2025/07/brit...

Had a lovely chat with @faetooth.bsky.social ahead of the release of their astonishing sophomore LP 'Labyrinthine', out Sept 5th on @theflenser.bsky.social

Looking forward to sharing the full feature on Guitar World soon!

Support indie presses, especially when they're doing such vital work @commapress.bsky.social

Just got my copy of Folding Rock in the post today, it's a beaut

Bandmate lent me this recently - it's excellent and really resonated with me, highly recommended

Cheers, yeah, that show was pretty mad for us too, proud to be a part of that!

Agreed, and Moor is such a great venue as a fan and a band. Well excited for this one.

Class, yeah, they look like an epic live show from the footage I've seen online. Is that at radio city again?

The Grey's album 'Kodok' has been on heavy rotation this month, can't wait to play alongside them for this banger at Moor Brewery ✨️

Cheers, yeah, I would absolutely be going to this show if I wasn't playing it. Saw Victim Unit do an incredible set at The Moon (RIP), very excited for this one.

Can't quite believe I get to play with an artist I've listened to for years, this is going to be a special one

Really sorry to hear this. FWIW, your Romancing the Gothic resources were incredibly useful when writing my MA diss on Welsh Ecogothic last year, so thanks for that! But likewise, encouraged to pursue a PhD, yet told funding is a 'bloodbath' and stable jobs are few & far between 🥲
