I'd like to add my favorite podcasters @duckfeedtv.bsky.social because they've done amazing work for trans causes for forever and I remember them really opening my eyes way back when. All while making the absolute best podcasts about games, films and more. Go check them out: duckfeed.tv

@wolvendaughter.bsky.social is an absolute powerhouse, @janjupiter.bsky.social is an amazing artist, anything @ameokama.bsky.social does is essential, and every song @daisygoldmi.bsky.social releases is essential listening.

Today is trans day of visibility. All the love to our 🏳️‍⚧️ friends in dangerous and difficult times. Post your favorite trans artists (musicians, writers, game designers, film makers..), or your own work, and we'll share. We'll start: @teardrinker.bsky.social: teardrinkerband.bandcamp.com

For Trans Day of Visibility, I'd like to highlight the fantastic trans musicians I met in the last two years on here. All of them are amazing artists and I'm very proud to call some of them my friends. Here are 8 I've listened to today, but there are so, so many more!

Very glad our words connected as much with you as your music did with us! ❤️

Some very cool reflections/reviews by @florgoth.bsky.social, @eveyweveydevey.bsky.social and @untidymusic.com on @joostvervoort.bsky.social's project @sunlightaltar.bsky.social with @fiadh.bsky.social. Take a look:

' Shuffling, hunched, shamanic and enticing. [..] If this was a movie I’d watch the shit out of it. The more I listen the more I am impressed.' ❤️

'It feels folk horror, it has that cinematic sound design, that sensibility. I could hear this on Ben Wheatley’s Kill List or The Witch by Robert Eggers'

And review 3 by @untidymusic.com: 'Dark folk. It almost feels invasive to listen to. Like you have stumbled into some ancient dwelling and ritual. Dark, menacing, crushingly intimate. The sense of space and atmosphere is palpable.'

'Kinda reminds me of Nick Drake in places, both musically as well as in the vocal delivery at times. And add to that the lovely vibrato that the vocalist at times employs and it just gives the vocal performance such a gorgeous sense of frailty. Quite moving.'

Review 2 by @eveyweveydevey.bsky.social : 'while it all sounds very beautiful and melancholic it is drenched in quite a dark gloomy atmosphere. In that way, I would highly recommend this to fans of doom Metal, as this is basically akin to funeral doom in tone but without the walls of distortion.'

'It’s an almost meditative, timeless sound, something to get lost and drift in for a few minutes. There is a lot of emotion in this, but it is a subdued one; distant and mournful. And it sounds simply fantastic!'

'Vocalist Joost Vervoort’s bright and clear, yet almost aspirated voice is very centered and adds to the feeling of witnessing a ritual of some kind. He sounds aloof and distant, with a slight melancholia.'

These reviews of our EP are really hitting home. 'These five songs feel almost sacred and unworldly, like music you would expect to hear at a religious ceremony. The question, however, would be which religion we are talking about here.' ❤️🔥 @fiadh.bsky.social @florgoth.bsky.social

#featurefriday this week is the excellent Twilight Altar by @sunlightaltar.bsky.social Dark cinematic folk. Check out our reviews here. www.untidydownloads.com/featurefrida... #darkfolk #music #musicsky #diy #folkhorror

#featurefriday where I discovered the beautiful yet hauntingly dark 'Twilight Altar' by @sunlightaltar.bsky.social Here are our reviews... www.untidydownloads.com/featurefrida...

And you can listen to this album here: sunlightaltar.bandcamp.com/album/twilig... #FeatureFriday is presented by: @untidymusic.com @eveyweveydevey.bsky.social @randomdeadbird.satan.social and myself! We hope you'll enjoy what we have for you today. Have a great Friday!

Happy #FeatureFriday, folks! This is the day of the week, where we snatch up an album by a BlueSky artist and present it to you. Today we have something that can put you in a meditative state: "Twilight Altar" by @sunlightaltar.bsky.social! You can read our reviews here:

#FeatureFriday My favorite song from @sunlightaltar.bsky.social's "Twilight Altar" is the third track "This Body Is The Heart of a Portal". It has this massive sensation of space, while @joostvervoort.bsky.social's vocals are sounding their most sacred and ritualistic.

NO GAMES FOR GENOCIDE. All Will Rise returned a significant contract with Microsoft and won't be publishing their game on XBox because of their active support of genocide. Hope it gets more people on board with this. Read the story below:

And I was very surprised to hear @cinderwellmusic.bsky.social's music for the show - she also collaborated with us on @terzijdehorde.bsky.social's new album. Feels like many worlds colliding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkt4...

Shelved by genre is GOOD. Some of the best @rangedtouch.bsky.social work with @ckunzelman.bsky.social @ztul.bsky.social and @austinwalker.bsky.social just going off on their reads of book series. Gained a new appreciation of the Hobbit and those Tolkien letters, especially the ones about planes.

Much appreciated @toiletovhell.bsky.social ❤️ toiletovhell.com/the-100-pure... @fiadh.bsky.social

Heads up: our EP 'Twilight Altar' is up on streaming platforms now! But also, it's Bandcamp Friday, so get it there (link below if you were waiting for that) 🔆⛪ tidal.com/album/500570... #bandcampfriday #folk

This visitor was also angry that the band accused some people in the black metal scene of being Nazis and fascist bootlickers who embrace aesthetics of strength while being complete cowards. Of course this is an allegation that is completely unfounded. HOW DARE WE

This was the funniest thing that happened all this week. Just amazing self ownery.

A complaint by a visitor was sent in to one of the venues where we played last weekend, complaining that Terzij de Horde were making political statements. The funniest line went something like 'when the band suggested that the audience was complicit in the existing system, I had enough and left' 🤡🤡🤡

Then, on Sunday Feb 29th, we are playing an afternoon show with RADELOOS///ZIEDEND and MORVIGOR at Bibelot in Dordrecht. Really looking forward to playing this lineup as well. Tickets: bibelot.net/programma/te...

Next up is a Saturday show on Feb 28th at PAARD in Den Haag, with the amazing TEARDRINKER, who are truly something to experience live. Tickets here: www.paard.nl/event/terzij...

Small thread: we have a weekend of fantastic shows coming up that we're very proud of. The first one is next Thursday Feb 26, @veragroningen.bsky.social , and it's almost sold out, with LIJKSCHOUWER and ONHOU: www.vera-groningen.nl/events/terzi... Get your tickets now! #blackmetal

And the perhaps most magical thing about this is that we are RIGHT NEXT to one of my favorite releases from last year, Owlbear's Feather & Claw. Even more because @vharari.bsky.social and I are playing BG3 and she's crushing everything as an owlbear druid. Just the best. @fiadh.bsky.social

When community leader Shabeer became a character he was a bit of a cooky conspiracy theorist. But lately he's been making an eerie amount of sense. Global elite crime syndicate living off our misery, and also a p*do ring, you say? Hmmm 🤔 Anyway BACK US NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... #indie

This is really nice stuff!

The pair find themselves at home in the quiet, dark stillness that permeates Twilight Altar as a refuge & well of power for those fighting & caring for a better world in the face of fascism & ecological destruction. Tapes this Friday, & support them directly at sunlightaltar.bandcamp.com

Feb 20 sees the release of Twilight Altar, the debut EP from @sunlightaltar.bsky.social. A quiet, dark folk project by producer & guitarist Jayant Makhan & @terzijdehorde.bsky.social singer @joostvervoort.bsky.social, two long time friends who have experimented with collaborations over the years.

Amidst the All Will Rise storm something quiet, dark and personal is coming this week. Very proud to release the first @sunlightaltar.bsky.social EP with the wonderful @fiadh.bsky.social who bring beauty and resistance in a burning world.

This is good work by @allwillrise.bsky.social. NO GAMES FOR GENOCIDE.

Earty heads up for the release next week of @joostvervoort.bsky.social's dark folk project @sunlightaltar.bsky.social with @fiadh.bsky.social. Something very quiet.
