If that debut album is a sign of things to come from Northern Graves then we’re in for a treat, startlingly good first effort 🤘🔥
Laucean EP was a surprise, loved it 👏👏

I can recommend the new album from Rise Of Kronos. That’s a Death Metal band from Hamburg, Germany.

Hey Linds, I have a deep lore for you from April 4. It is a band from Nicaragua called Veins. Their album is called Stasis in Liminal. I stumbled upon it, and I thought of you immediately. Just a gift for a slow week, you know?

Thank you for the recommendations, I will go check them out now. Happy 420 to any metal stoners out there. I’ve been jamming electric wizard all day at work. Does Scotland have a cannabis culture?

I thought you called Northern Graves "Blackened Nu Metal" at first 😂
I was like "Woooaaahhh what is this genre?!" Then went back and heard you said Blackened Doom 😂
I swear I'm going deaf in my old age 👴

That Doodswens rules! Love females in black metal, and a drummer as well is sweet.
