Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

This is sounding awesome, looking forward to hearing the album. Sounds still has that depressive #Black-metal sound but also hints of some Ulcerate technicality and #post-black positive vibes. Pull The Strings - Griefbloom pullthestrings.bandcamp.com/album/griefb...

Sounding great, bit of noise/post-hardcore feel to it with some post-black thrown in there with blasting drums. I really enjoyed the demos they had on bandcamp and this seems to have taken it to another level. halfwayupajaggedhill.bandcamp.com/album/huajh #post-metal #post-black #post-hardcore

Some nice textbook #post-black from England: cairiss.bandcamp.com/album/wilder... Tagged as #post-metal #black-metal FFO Alcest, Deafheaven, Sylvaine Feels like it could fall both ways between gothic and black-metal with some clean and screamed vocals. Interesting to see how the album comes out.

Review | Sleepbomb - Songs in The Key of Conan by @garydavidson.bsky.social "Like Conan but wish it had a soundtrack based on doom and psych tinged instrumental post-metal? Well Sleepbomb have just the thing for you." echoesanddust.com/2026/06/slee...

For many grassroots venues, the issue isn’t just the cost of PRS billing - it’s the time, pressure and exhaustion that comes with constantly trying to correct it. Mark Miller from Slay / Audio in Glasgow described the experience as “a constant and exhausting battle rather than a partnership.”

This is a lovely review. Much love to Eden for the kind words.
Heavy Blog is Heavy@heavyblog.bsky.social · 5mo agoThere's incredible cohesiveness to the album, hardwired to that thumping, industrial, heavy riff that seems to shudder throughout it. Like basically every new Sugar Horse release of the last few years, Not A Sound In Heaven has become my favorite work by them. https://loom.ly/8kOpxDg
Can't say enough good things about this band. The most important and impressive band we have in the UK right now. Give this a listen and go catch them on tour next week. I will refund your time if you are disappointed! #post-metal #post-rock
