It’s the tall one’s birthday. Here he is proudly surveying all his presents. Please wish him good health and an end to suffering for all life on earth 🌳

Today! We’re back in Leeds again for Dark & Wild 2025, see you there 🍻

Won this incredibly special signed test pressing of the incredible new @baalbanduk.bsky.social album (along with a shirt, plus STICKERS!!) and it's absolutely wonderful. Beautiful artwork (shoutout @truespiltmilk.bsky.social again!) and fanastic music. Super chuffed with this 🖤

Next up! A SOLD OUT Dark & Wild 2025 this coming Saturday 01/11/25. We’re joining Pleiades, Din of Celestial Birds, Iron Rat, Codespeaker and Mastiff for a mad party, hope to see you there 🍻

The Vinyl vs Streaming debate is over! Thank you to Northwest Connection Podcast for having Nick and Richard on to talk about all things Ba’al (and a reasonable chunk of nonsense as well). Watch or listen to the full interview here: tr.ee/DACGvjcJ9v

Jazzed to be playing this monster in January! Thank you to Moonlight Mass Promotions for sticking us on this cracking bill 🌕

We often get asked what the meaning behind our name is, and let me be absolutely clear on this subject; we have no idea. But if you ask us “oh are you named after X?”, or “does the name come from Y?”, then the answer will be always be a resounding “yes”.

But as the buildings fall around us And the sky turns red with fire I gaze deep into your tearful eyes And you have never looked more beautiful For in this moment as we embrace All that matters is you and I 📸 by @christianhopewell

A colossal force in music, and one that had a profound influence on us and countless others. Brent Hinds was, is, an all timer.
