Tribute video by Jacob Kyle Minze of Secret Society of Goths of our new Mourning Candle song, “Harbinger!” 🕯️🦇🖤🎶 youtube.com/shorts/LuBn4... #harbinger #mourningcandle #ssu #ssog #gothmusic

From one artist who blends goth and metal and industrial to another: this is superb! I especially like that you bring attention to the evil Christo-fascism that is destroying everything good with its bigotry and hate. (Lyrics are important to me)
