Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Eden Kupermintz
October 14, 2020

If you look back at the past few years of my writing on the blog, one of the main narratives you can create is my falling out of love with progressive stoner metal. I mean, don't get me wrong; I still love the... Read More...

I just love it when a band's name, artwork, and Bandcamp tags all conspire together to tell you exactly what sort of music you're about to hear. In the case of Denver's BleakHeart, this is very much the case (... Read More...
