Thrilled to be catching @anabstractillusion.bsky.social live for the first time months head of when I initially thought I'd be able to! Show happens to coincide with the day I was planning to be stopping through Oslo en route to Svalbard. Happy birthday to me!!

Same brother, same.
In other news, we made Angry Metal Guy’s aggregate AOTY list!
Preach. Collabing with other humans is what makes the process of producing a record so much fun.

08.01.2026 12:24 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So it’s either Haken or Cult of Luna… and I’ve never heard you speak about post metal (except Kauan?) before, so I’m going with Affinity

"Easily one of the best modern bands in this genre."
Honored to be on this list, featured alongside Rivers Of Nihil, Alkaloid, Hath, Archspire, Persefone and many more great bands.
Thanks Forgemaster for featuring "Woe"!
Is it a prog/prog-adjacent list? Then it's semi-easy. Seeing as you have Alcest there, probably not purely prog-based?
