Blew me off the water.

Checking out Acatalepsy...

Cheers dude, that's cool. Absolutely no rush at all though. Nice wan!

Cracking show last night at Bannermans, all bands were superb. Loved the smoke machine and one light look, I thought Dragged Into Sunlight were in town!

Hey there, thanks for the interest in Balerion. It is indeed an active band, though a new one at that, so unfortunately we don't have any recordings as of yet. We're hoping to get some stuff done during the summer though, things should be appearing in coming months. I see you have a couple of interesting-sounding projects yourself, I'll be sure to check them out!

yeah actually I did take a listen on your Myspace page :D and I like it :D I read about how your music is heavily influenced by Scottish history, kudos for that - it's very nice that someone still makes music influenced by his/hers heritage :) :)

Thank you so much for the link :)

I listened Acatalepsy, too bad I could only find 2 songs on Youtube, Arideist Nightmare and Nihilect. Downloading Vostok EP at the moment :)

Hey, thanks for friendship! Greetings from Croatia :) Your bands are great, especially Eilean Dubh xD

Alright Hamish, just had to say I just now listened to srathilith and it's really great mate!Love your vocals man.Really looking forward to the split.

Ah, awesome, I've heard of Vostok but never bothered to properly check it out until now! Badbea is amazing - have downloaded the E.P. and am about to listen to the whole thing just now. I have also heard Haar sometime in the distant past and remember it being quite good.

hi! I mean that the naming of the band translated into English as the "east" and I liked it :)

Oh, well, at least they`re not starting at 2PM. Wanted to see Eastern Front, but pretty sure they`ll be around sooner or later.

Hope you right, man! I just received Candlelight newsletter other day and was a bit shocked when there was only 5 bands for Glasgow and doors 2pm, would be a misery :D

Nah dont get me wrong, It was a good gig. Just the sound was a bit iffy with a couple of bands. Good shout on Subvertio btw!

The whole Cnocantursa thing, Was rather gutted myself.

Just part of my course; had the opportunity to work abroad or study abroad, and fancied a stint in the real world! Good to hear Vostok is coming on. I've been thinking about recording again recently - thought I'd focus on folk this year so I didn't take an electric guitar with me, but now that winter's coming on I'm beginning to change my mind! Just got some technical and practical issues to work out before I can started, and finding the time and inspiration of course.

No bad, keeping busy - just started working with a charity in Austria. Been sitting on a 90% completed EP for 5 months now, I should do something about that! What about yourself, how are the Vostok splits coming on?

Just realised when I was talking to you the other night I was right out my face haha! Sorry bout that man

I cant be arsed with BMUK these days, it used to be canny but now its just seems to be people bitching and that Deathcult bint whining on about her sex life *rolls eyes* Ive got the Haar Cd coming from Todestrieb weirdly enough, I need to check out Vostok - Ive heard a lot of good things about you fellas! Nah, Im going to mLondon for the NP gig as Solstice are playing the day before. Sadly that means Ill miss that Crabsu gig in Sunderland lol.

Ah, I remember you, I dont go there anymore but I used to post as "blackmetalbitch666" (probably the worst username ever lol). Are you in Haar? I saw you when you played in Sunderland and when you supported Desaster in Edinburgh.

I think we've just become facebook friends lol. Did you used to be on BMUK?

Totally, that would be stormin' mate!

Cheers mate! Should be with us very soon! Hope we get to finally play up there at some point too!!!

Oh, I know. I guess I should have said Republic of Ireland.

i never seen them live but i like what they play. I hope i can see Altar of Plagues in oct, they are coming to my country ^^

well isn't that lovely : ) praise jebus :P

It feel like its been AGES since i read a song of fire and ice book! But then i can say nowt compared to your wait haha. Yeah i "suppose" ill have to change it to a yes. lol

Its pretty good! Sometimes i don't think it has the same impact as the book, but they have tried to condense it all into 10 episdoes. So definitely a good call in getting me to read the books first! Just need dance of dragons to come out now...

Indeed mate! I couldn't pass up on Ulver, God is an Astronaut and Godflesh. That way I get all those bands at once and don't have to fork out unnecessary money to travel to London for Godflesh. Are you alright anyway, mate? And also how is Chris doing since being a father? I got his Erowid CD in the post and his letter, tell him I'll write him a reply and send the S.D. CD he wanted this week; I thought I'd make it formal rather than making a quick and easy Facebook message, it sucks the fun out of things.

Hey hey hamish, im not too bad, just taking it easy. How about yourself dude?

Paul of Darkness Shade can back me up on the details of chris literally ceasing contact with everyone but candlelight. pm me if you think that's necessary (which i doubt really, I just hate to be made to look a Liar by some fat goth fag over the internet). But anyway, Aidan says we're supporting you guys at another gig at some point in June i think, in perth or something? I was going to ask if you had the details so i can create an event page on here for it

the tape, including a photograph and coverscan, is widely available thanks to my apparent popularity in russia. And yes, that's because this is what happened: Chris sets up TLR. Sometime in 2008 I think. He releases tape only underground UKBM acts, then expands a little. Talks to Paul of Darkness Shade and then decides he wants to be a vinyl only label when Candlelight contacts him to do Winterfylleth and Wodensthrone DLPs. Chris drops every band on his label, deletes the website and stops answering emails. As far as I known, he had like 50 copies of my tape sitting around and just threw them out. I know he did the Wodensthrone DLP but the Winterfylleth one might have been cancelled, i dont know

+ to further answer your question, there was actually a Full Length album to be released through Thorn Laceration Records, when Chris turned into a jerkoff, It was so close to finishing that theres actually reviews of it out on the internet, seach "Damnatio Tenuus Obscurum Aeternal" and you might find the Funeral Rain.net review of it.

To answer your question, and also that fuckwit faggot who is commenting below me, Winterfylleth and Wodensthrone both released those stupid LP's on Thorn Laceration Records, or were going to, or something. Anyway, i have/had a release out on TLR - "Chaos & Despair" <- which I dont actually count as an official release, seeing as TLR only sent me 1 copy of it and i've no idea if it ever sold, and TLR are clearly ripoff merchants that just want money on account of the secont Wodensthrone & Winterfylleth came their way they dropped EVERYONE else and made no contact with them.

Hey, man. Gave Lofty Peaks a listen. Great stuff. Musically it reminds of early Burzum with perhaps some Immortal thrown in there too.

Alright man, all's good! Looking forward to seeing you guys play in Leeds next month! Tour almost sorted now?

I did some gigs in late 2009 and a small tour with The Salamander Institute in 2010. I don't really have any planned at the moment many because I don't have the time. I have just an album out through Puzzle Records and I'm working on another one so who knows. I'm also looking for a BM band wanting to put out a demo through my label this year at some point. Doesn't have to BM, could be Doom but I haven't put out any black metal yet so I just fancy it for a change.

Hey, Well G.O.D has pretty much died on its arse. We were writing/recording stuff for a new album but then it just fell to bits, I've been dragging G.O.D kicking and screaming the past few years and now I think its time I let it go. Now I will just be focusing on my solo stuff, Döne and my label. At least for the time being anyway.

Enjoy your gig on Saturday. Hope it goes well for yous.
