Good evening! I'm briefly returning from the depths of many Lego sets & all the snacks to say hello! I'm suffering from major burn out so I decided to take the festive period off from metal duties. Videos/articles will resume at the beginning of January! I hope you're all well!

Listening to a playlist inspired by the Shire whilst studying probably wasn't my best idea because now I just want to nap

Parents evenings are awkward but mine are always haunted by the time my kid (who was 5 at the time) told her teacher "my Mummy makes videos on the internet" with zero context whatsoever. I had to sit there & explain what New Metal Monday was & it wasn't one of THOSE videos 🤣🙈

This may be controversial but I'm wearing my Orbit Culture shirt to see Orbit Culture tonight and I don't care what the gatekeepers say 🤣 #metalsky

This week's New Metal Monday is now live on my channel! Share with your pals and I'll forever be grateful 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 #metalsky youtu.be/Ns5B7Ha_GNg

Friends...you're going to need snacks and a beverage for Monday's video. Just a heads up 🤣 #metalsky

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🪄🧙🏻‍♀️

Bloody hell, this album drop is insane. I already had 7 confirmed for Monday's video just from my promos 🤣 Better get started on the rest. What are you checking out from today's new releases? 🤘🏻 #metalsky

My latest album review is now live on @moshville.co.uk I reviewed Omnium Gatherum's new album May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way which comes out on November 7th via Century Media Records. Check it out below! #metalsky www.moshville.co.uk/reviews/albu...

The best thing about starting my YouTube channel a couple of years ago is receiving comments from people thanking me for introducing new bands and seeing the bands themselves comment and share. It gives me such a warm and fuzzy feeling 🥰 #metalsky

Back from my family holiday. Tonight's New Metal Monday is still going out but it's from the promos I've received, not anything I've hunted for. I have a separate list of 15 albums to check out so if I have enough, an extra bonus video might go out during the week 🤘🏻 #metalsky

I'm taking my Ferals on a mini weekend break tomorrow so I won't be online again until Monday. Don't worry though, New Metal Monday will still be going ahead as planned. My promo email account is stacked which means I've been able to film in advance 🤣 Have a great weekend! 🤘🏻 #metalsky

Go to shows and buy the merch if you can. Support metal artists, musicians and creators by sharing their work. Stay positive, stay kind and be respectful. It's really that easy 🤘🏻 #metalsky

I'm seeing Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Fit For An Autopsy and Decapitated tonight in Glasgow! 🤘🏻 #metalsky

Just home from seeing Great American Ghost, After The Burial and Bleed From Within and I am a sweaty, broken mess 🤣 For those of you who came and said hi, I'm so sorry if I was awkward. I generally am but I'm still knackered from yesterday's gig and 6 hour drive too 🤣 #metalsky

Off to see Paradise Lost! 🤘🏻

I keep making little shrieks randomly because I'm seeing Paradise Lost tonight and I'm EXCITED #metalsky

TESTAMENT 🤘🏻🔥 #metalsky

I'm heading to Newcastle on Saturday to see Paradise Lost then driving back home straight after the gig to crash out and then see Bleed From Within on Glasgow the next night. Wooooo 🫠🤘🏻🤣
