I sometimes get days where I struggle to find any new music to connect with, and I think to myself the most terrifying of thoughts 'will I listen to anything good ever again?' I decided to take action on this particular day and raced over the Bandcamp, where I stabbed the word WITCH into the… Continue reading A Hex On Your Head Interviews Bogwitch
One of the greatest joys in life, in my humble opinion, is when you find an album with impactful and memorable cover art, and the music on said album is just as impactful and memorable. We all cross our fingers and hope that’ll be the case each and every time our eyes meet a new… Continue reading A Hex On Your Head Interviews Bizarrekult
Today I have been sore, scared and mostly silent. My mental health has been relatively stable recently, but my physical health - not so much. And soon, there's a possibility I'll find out what the fuck my body has been playing at for the past four months. And I'm terrified. So, today I turned to… Continue reading Hex Of The Day – Sólstafir
I was supposed to write about Sólstafir's song Fjara today. It's a song I've only been able to start listening to again recently, after years of not being able to go near it. The other day I decided it was time I let it take up space in my heart again (well, it never really left,… Continue reading Hex Of The Day – Cave Mouth
Meghan and I (your hosts are the witches of the band Cave Mouth, in case you didn't know) made a cover song. It's a stupendously creepy Irish murder ballad called Weile Weile Waile (The Old Woman in the Woods). There's a lot of backstory to the song lurking on the internet, which is well worth… Continue reading Hex Of The Day – Cave Mouth
Well, isn’t this fucking something! We got Beyond Man for you. A few weeks ago, I threw an email at Meghan with a link to Beyond Man’s debut album Beyond Man, saying, ‘YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THIS, IT’S A BEAST!’ She agreed that it was, in fact, a beast, and I screamed at her that I was… Continue reading A Hex On Your Head Interviews Beyond Man
Last time I made my way over to Hex to write a review it was for Vile Haint another one of Moonlight Cypress Archetypes projects that was a more black metal influenced release with again, brilliant musician Ryan Clackner. I found myself delving into Existential Dread's Full Moon Bliss this morning, while still a bit… Continue reading Review: Existential Dread-Full Moon Bliss
The other day saw the release of the new Cave Mouth single The Woods Do Not Want Us Here. (For those of you who don't know, Cave Mouth is mine and Meghan's band.) The song started life with the lyric 'we are in so deep, the birds have stopped singing.' It took a twisty turny path… Continue reading Hex Of The Day – Cave Mouth
I've never felt an affinity for the blues. Back in days of yore, my guitar teacher tried for almost a year to get it into my head that the blues was everything, and that it was what I REALLY SHOULD want to be playing, NOT metal, DEFINITELY NOT metal. My teacher ate, drank, slept the… Continue reading Hex Of The Day – Justin Johnson
Just a quick fucking listen to this song post for you today, as my bed is screaming at me to crawl in it. I'll detail in a future post about my infatuation with Primordial, how I came across them back in 2007 and why I think Alan Averill is one of the greatest vocalists and lyricists to… Continue reading Hex Of The Day – Primordial
