I bought glass coffee mugs for this exact reason. I’m mesmerised as they pour!

Feel like I’ve been waiting forever. This and a new Karnivool album in the same week? Incredible

Overheard someone in my Return to Silent Hill screening say - “This man’s got the survival instinct of a goddamn spoon”

Perfect.

The nugs wolf is always louder

Special thanks to @hiddenmothers.bsky.social for putting up with me being annoying taking photos in Glasgow

Really found my love for photography again in 2025. A couple of events towards the end of the year where I wasn’t as pleased with the results, but looking at some of my favourites from the year and I’m really happy with them, maybe I just got really lucky but I’ll take it. Here’s to more this year!

Doing a little #JoinIn day with my tradition of a Christmas Day game, watching movies and soon- a Christmas curry! I hope you have a great day!

Time to bring this out again- a friendly reminder

A chance to see We Lost the Sea and Dimscua on the same bill next year? I couldn’t have pressed buy ticket any faster.

If you need me I’m just over here losing my mind that Ace Combat is finally back!

Top five albums. Lonely people with Power by Deafheaven. A single flower by we lost the sea. Inertia by pendulum. Dust eater by dimscua. The dethalbum by Dethklok

Top songs being L’adieu by Alcest , violate consensus reality by psychonaut , of being and nothing by dimscua, the marvellous Orange tree, Magnolia by Deafheaven

Also great to see Deafheaven and Dimscua in my top albums and songs. Two absolutely incredible albums in Lonely People With Power and Dusteater respectively that I fell in love with this year

Spotify wrapped showing top bands being Dethklok, deafheaven, we lost the sea, Brutus, Pallbearer. Top songs being L’adieu, violate consensus reality, of being and nothing, the marvellous Orange tree, Magnolia

No surprises here then! Seeing Dethklok this year really reignited my love for them!

dream theater - quarantième live à paris cover art

Incredible new release day for me today. Two bands that mean so much to me releasing live albums. If you need me I’ll be devouring these.

It was on in work today and when the actual lyrics kicked in I had a moment of ‘wait, what?!’

Well this was a rather great surprise this morning.

Have been a huge Devin fan for the longest time! I truly believe he had an album for everyone, no matter your taste in music. He’s definitely gotten me through some rough times

Oh man I’d totally be playing that in the background anytime someone is meeting him for the first time!

The fact that he’s named Ziltoid just makes me really really happy. I hope you YEEEEEEEEESSSS at him at every opportunity! 💜

So Deafheaven were absolutely incredible tonight. Possibly gig of the year

I have accidentally become a collector of hot wheels Batmobiles. Every time I see a display of them I have to check - just incase.

I’m a bit late to the party but that new Conjurer album is nothing short of absolutely incredible, eh?

Bless this band, truly. @pallbearerdoom.bsky.social
