Eucharist- Mirrorworlds.

Thanks, I'll put that on when I have a chance.

I've been listening to black metal for about 22 years and I'm still not huge on Mayhem. They have their moments for me, but there's a lot of other black metal out there that I'd rather be listening to.

Welcome. A couple friends in other groups have been raving about Mare Cognitum recently but I have yet to check them out. Any album in particular you'd recommend as a starting place?

Inverloch - Distance | Collapsed

Ernie Balls are fine, and they're affordable. I used to use D'Addario baritone strings because I needed thicker gauges, but their tone was muddy. I switched to DRs for a bit, but then I started ordering from Kalium - they let you get custom sets in any combination of gauges, so I could dial in my tension and intonation perfectly. As picky as I am, though, I think most major brands are decent and you'll adapt to whatever it is you wind up using.
Excellent choice!

Thanks man! It's been a fun start so far.

Necrophobic "The Nocturnal Silence"

That's awesome dude, I'm sure it will turn out well.

Rotting Christ "Triarchy of the Lost Lovers"

I still get this feeling from a paid-for download.

Good for you, dude. I miss that. I finally finished an illustration I've been working on, and I have another project coming up, but I haven't even been treading water recently, more just drowning in life. I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys come up with.

No drums at practice today, but it was still productive. Our bass player is getting into the rhythm of what we're doing, and we got some vocal issues worked out with the first song, so I think the track one is pretty well done. I tried out my lyrics for the second song today, and I liked the way they fit, I just need to finish them. It's encouraging to be moving forward, to say the least.

It is growing on me, but it is taking a while.  I get the Grave Miasma, Funebre and Convulse vibes but they don't all seem to be reflected clear enough or that well either sometimes.  Having to dig around more than I expected but not being disappointed too much by what I unearth thus far, just a bit more work than anticipated.
NP: Desolate Shrine "Deliverance from the Godless Void"

Crimson Glory - Transcendence

Deathspell Omega - The Synarchy of Molten Bones

Made a stop off in Glasgow last night instead of driving 6 and a half hours home in one day.  Have to say it is a disappointment in comparison to my multiple trips to Edinburgh.  Although there are some great buildings the architecture is not as widespread as Edinburgh and the street level aesthetic seems to be all poncy wine bars and Ed Sheehan cover bands for some reason.  
Loch Ness was much more calming an experience and Ed made no appearances thank fuck!  It was refreshing to be isolated from the modern world with minimal access to even shops or extensive choice of drinking holes and restaurants.  Should have done more walking but just not fit enough at mo.  A Loch cruise and some museums and a wander around Inverness filled the three days.
Our next trip in July involves a hot tub, a yurt, a tank (hell yeah baby) and our own waterfall in the second property’s boundaries that we will be staying at.
