Apologies for not updating things in the last couple of weeks but we should be back on schedule now. Tomorrow I’ll be streaming the renowned and as-yet-unplayed [by me] Onyxblack Fortress.
On Sundays I may be focusing on smaller maps, kind of like a mapjam. I like the look of Wroth by Spoot so that will be done on Sunday along with When There Were Wolves as part of the 2021 Xmas pack. Also I’m intrigued by The Stars We Lost To Grief by Suzy Wills so that will be streamed on Sunday as well. More info in the OP. Have a great weekend, all, and I hope to see some of you there
Some excellent maps yesterday, “When There Were Wolves” was incredible - original, beautiful and challenging - though it was Suzy Will’s “The Stars We Lost to Grief” which really took the lead. It’s old school, atmospheric and full of surprises. For a first map it’s very impressive. The stream is up on the channel if anyone wants to take a look
Tonight it’s an older one and a very new one - “Tomb of Fenrir” by Giftmacher and the newer “Waldsterben” by Paul Lawitrzki. Around 7pm UK time, hope to see some of you then <3
No friend, I don’t listen to “doom metal” at all, I don’t even know who performs it. Sometimes I listen to industrial rock. It’s just that a lot of different sites are blocked now, but I hope it’s not forever.

I do, I love doom metal. Especially bands like shedfromthebody, Draconian, Darkher and Funeral.
Yes it is, a fantastic piece of work! Also check out “To Hold The Ripened Sun” by shedfromthebody or “In Fields of Pestilent Grief” by Funeral. Both great doom metal albums with female vox, you may like them too.
Good old ‘Paradise Lost’ is not bad either, even though they shifted their style throughout the years between the albums a bit. Lately they make a return to the old vibe, from what it seems. I am not their biggest follower but back in the day some of the folks I used to hang out with, liked them, so I kind of got it osmotically.
Yes, the last three albums were really good! Esp The Plague Within. So fantastic that they returned to their old sound, and not only did it, but did it well. Nice to see someone on here with a similar music taste, and it goes very well with the Quake vibe.
I am currently discovering an artist: ‘Chelsea Wolfe’, heave you heard of her music? I find it amazing. There is something visceral about the way she does make music or about the way her performances are shown; unlike when sometimes the music feels “produced” and given, as if summoned in a perfect form - but in her case, it is organic, quite like the nature itself: not just manifested, but constantly becoming. I believe it is hard to maintain that feel of uniqueness once one goes mainstream or so.
Anyhow, I did find ‘Chelsea Wolfe’ through taking a look at the sideproject of ‘Draconian’ female vocalist; a sideproject called ‘Lorelei’ ‘LOR3L3I’] - a thing worthwhile to give a listen to as well, despite the title.
Another Quake mapjam tonight - three maps medium-ish size maps:
Tomb of Fenrir - Giftmacher
Waldsterben - Paul Lawitzki
Somewhere - Tonhao
Starting around 7pm UK time, I hope to see some of you there

I have definitely heard of Chelsea but haven’t heard her stuff much. What would you recommend starting with?
Also LOR3L3I I haven’t heard of, will definitely check that out too. You’d also like Light Field Reverie, which features her vocals.
First I’ll be streaming The Dreamer’s Demesne by Mittens for Kittens
and then the older
The Elder Reality by PuLSaR
There have been some great maps in the last few days streamed, such as Ancient Trenches of Vellamo [Zigi], Forgotten Sepulchre [sock] and The Ivory Tower [sock].
More stuff to come, I’ll be on at 7pm UK time tonight so I hope to see some of you there then <3
