And obviously … Fiadh Forever. ⚔️ Order Form of an Owl and Damhnait this Friday on cassette (prime sound + seriously beautiful physical objects) — fiadh.bandcamp.com @ SUBSCRIBE TO @fiadh.bsky.social to support the label + animal justice + get the best subscriber gifts! ❤️⚔️🙏

@ampwall.com only goes from strength to strength, and has FAR outstripped Bandcamp in useability and features. This is what independent platforming is all about. Let’s make 2026 about building an Ampwall habit, shall we? 💪🤘

Form of an Owl is already on streaming (except Spotify) and I’ll pop Damhnait onto the services too. Listen and enjoy! There are a couple of all-time-classic OÜGHs on “Keeper of the Dead” — the track you can listen to now has one of them: damhnait.bandcamp.com/album/keeper... (and a killer outro 🤘)

ALSO out December 26th with @fiadh.bsky.social 🤍🦉 Limited tape run from Fiadh Digital has been out a while on Bandcamp & @ampwall.com and remains pay-what-you-want or free (it’s 100% okay to just grab it for your collection!)— formofanowl.bandcamp.com/album/signal... & ampwall.com/a/formofanow...

Out December 26th with @fiadh.bsky.social ❤️ Limited tape run (dream come true to be a Fiadh artist) Digital preorders on Bandcamp & @ampwall.com : damhnait.bandcamp.com/album/keeper... & ampwall.com/a/damhnait/a...

this is Araña from Spectral Decay's other cosmic black metal band. something cool is that there are two kinds of harsh vocals on this making it pretty damn sick h/t @damhnait-dan.bsky.social for putting me onto them theetherealmoon.bandcamp.com/album/ethere...

This releases in a week! You can already check out one song on bandcamp (and pre-order it on tape, LP and digital of course)

Dos Cobros did a killer live session at Thunder Sound last year before they closed and we’re finally getting the videos back. Some really good stuff. For those unfamiliar this is the two piece band I play drums in.

New post with Lucerne Hammer @fiadh.bsky.social, Tombs, @clairemsinger.bsky.social, @terzijdehorde.bsky.social, Fed Ash, Vatican Shadow, Abraham, Wren, Terror Corpse + INFO ON Coroner, Oromet, BALTTW and more. Listen to Gates of Dawn. machinemusic.net/2025/10/19/a...

Folloooooooow

Damhnait logo top right & oh yes this will be merchandised and the profits donated to small record labels

The end of Be Still paired with footage I recorded last winter of the great lake huron. I'm so proud of how this song came together and so I wanted to share this bit! Eternally grateful to @lusthag.bsky.social for wanting to be a part of this and for providing the PERFECT ending to the album. 💜🔨

Speaking of……..!!

There is no ethical subscription based streaming service. There is no “better option” than Spotify besides actually buying albums from artists. Streaming services have completely de-valued art and music and even worse, have convinced the general population to believe they DESERVE it.

HELL YES!!!

This is one hell of a review. The new Starer releases Friday.

Yep, it is perfect. @mossknightcometh.bsky.social does something very special with this second Lucerne Hammer release and if my brain holds out I’ll elaborate at length next week. I love it. Buy it. lucernehammer.bandcamp.com/album/vermil...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

It’s Bandcamp Friday and if you buy this album from my alter ego FORM OF AN OWL I will get 100% of your money.🦉💰It’s improvised cello with a fun reverb filter and that’s it. formofanowl.bandcamp.com/album/signal... and limited cassette edition coming soon via beloved @fiadh.bsky.social

Here’s a rad thing for Bandcamp Friday- benefit comp with proceeds going to Migrants’ Rights Network 30 tracks, some of my faves on here Honored to be included Cheers to Poisonous Reflection for putting this together FUCK ALL BORDERS 🏴 poisonousreflection.bandcamp.com/album/charit...

Absolutely rips and fully earns its place in underground black metal lore. Great album, great bloke. I’m going to try and write out my thoughts about this album long-form so you can read even more praise. Love this project.

Enjoy 🐶🌺

We're one week out from the release of FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN! This is my first published novel and my second book this year, after BOXCUTTERS. I really love this book and what it's meant to my life. I really hope that everyone who decides to pick up a copy finds something to enjoy with it 🙏

I truly appreciate every share for this album.💛 I created it after an MRI showed a signal abnormality in my left prefrontal cortex that was causing cluster headaches. In great pain and frustration I took to music - I was having memory and language problems, but I could still think clearly in music.🎶

Thank you so much, @florgoth.bsky.social — and the Ampwall link is the one I recommend because using Ampwall is such a joy. It’s extremely well designed.

Alt logo for merch — y/n? 🤔 This represents a burn pile, a common human-made feature in the mountain forests of New Mexico. Also something that causes dread because burn pile embers can survive winter snow and flare up in the spring.

they don’t wanna hear it but the girls & the queers are currently making the best black metal

New on @ampwall.com Form of an Owl hails from New Mexico. A solo project by @damhnait-dan.bsky.social, Signal Abnormality is an album of atmospheric ambient, with cello at the center. Check it out on Ampwall now, with a cassette forthcoming via @fiadh.bsky.social formofanowl.ampwall.com

Here’s the garden bright and rampant, here are the first zucchini coaxed from earth and light, here are the dogs and the dying sun, once more around, a few times more and gone

PSA: We're a month & change away from the release of my second book of 2025 & my first novel, FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN. If you're unfamiliar, the concept's simple to digest: What if Hobbes' Leviathan was a real kaiju that ate ppl at sea (but some survived inside it Pinnochio-style?)

Damhnait x Fiadh — KEEPER OF THE DEAD — Cassette + Bandcamp & Ampwall @fiadh.bsky.social @ampwall.com Grounded in mutual aid, screamed from a core of British Marxism (⚒️PRAXIS🔥) // Coming Soon with beloved Fiadh

And if you find out… stop listening & deplatform. No need for any explanation, they’re Nazis. If they ask why, say, “You’re a Nazi.” Easy.

Also btw @fiadh.bsky.social is going to put out Form of an Owl in actual physical reality form and I’ll be swapping out yer Bandcamp tracks for better (wider, good for the headphones) mixes soon. Learned a thing or two, me. (Photo: self, Form of an Owl, shirt by the mighty Bihargam)

Don’t miss that Haunter/Cape of Bats too — Haunter fan yes I am

Really exciting way to start my Friday: Spotting Feast of the Pale Leviathan on the @reactorsff.bsky.social Can’t Miss Indie Spec Lit List for July and August alongside a host of friends, peers and inspirations 🙏🔥 Huge thanks to the Reactor team for the support!! reactormag.com/cant-miss-in...

Lucerne Hammer tapes now available from Fiadh!!

I'm officially open for freelance book design work! This is something I've been wanting to do for a while. Diversifying my income with projects like these will help me put more funds into Evening House to help us grow. You can find out more at this link on my site: johnchrostek.com/design-work/

Go hard, legend 🇨🇦⚔️🔥

There is always music. And in due course, another recital: this and the rest of Kummer’s 12 duets of Opus 105, composed for his cello students in the late 18th century and still as beautiful today.

My hero fr

I’ll take today as an opportunity to promote my upcoming debut novel, a horror-adventure about living inside an all-devouring empire + its quest to escape the looming specter of death. Writing it helped me make peace with my rage + terror + I hope it gives you something bookshop.org/p/books/feas...

See also Angola prison, Louisiana — alligators have been used as a barrier for a long time there, and conditions at Angola have always been horrifying. Once again this is a repetition of well-established barbarity under Republican leadership.

Unsurprisingly for anyone who knows me and the poverty-inducing ways I spend my time, bowmaking is on my list ~ I need a new violin bow but don’t want a carbon fibre one…
