A few bits of news on the writing front. I’m now looking into editing and publishing (probably self-publishing) for the “Dark Scene 500” book, subjects that are entirely new to me. I have a few leads, but if anyone knows anyone who can help with either, please get in touch, as the internet is full of conflicting advice! All I’ve learned so far is ‘steer clear of vanity publishers’.

Whilst I’ve been waiting for responses, I’ve updated the existing Listerners Guides on this site, with plans to write a new one soon. This includes releases up to 2024, included the long-awaiting end to Project Pitchfork’s most recent trilogy. If you haven’t checked them recently, take a look at the Articles Page.

Back to Lava with DJ's Translight and Mark13, featuring live bands Down from Above and Inertia (finally Reza and I on the same bill!). This time held in the legendary Cart and Horses pub in East London. Being the home of Iron Maiden, this set was more guitar heavy than what I'd normally do - but given it was an afterparty set, a lot of old favourites made it in. But not before a minutes noise in tribute to Steve Albini.

Big Black - The Power Of Independent Trucking
Earth Loop Recall - Optimism Creeping In
NIN - Sin
Project Pitchfork - Timekiller
Cubanate - Oxyacetylene
Prodigy - Omen
Pop Will Eat Itself - Ich Bin Ein Auslander
Killing Joke - Millenium
Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing
Killing Miranda - Teenage Vampire
Ministry - Ricky's Hand
KMFDM - Godlike (Chicago Trax)

The benefit of working online is you get to update old articles and bring them up to present-day relevance. Here's one originally published in 2018 that's been extended to tell the complete story right up to me writing this now....
