The Lovecraft Sextet is his new creative outlet regarding further explorations into cinematic jazz orientated compositions.

very formulaic stuff but at the same time heartfelt and not really heard before in that combination of elements.

new Thyrfing if anyone but me still cares. Thyrfing (bandcamp.com)

I'm probably the only one excited about new Thyrfing. Ever since the Naglfar dude joined, they've been reinvigorated. Drops on Friday.
