My fault. In the meantime, for the record, I have been updating the format for old interviews such that the original text be preserved as much as possible wherever possible while still adhering to my stylistic vision for this project. But yeah, honestly, I haven't even touched this little blog in close to a year. Sincere apologies for that, but I'm trying desperately to find the time to do this some more.
So what the hell am I so busy doing? I've mentioned this before, but I'm married, have a full-time job, have a small side-business (in a loose sense of the term) that I run with my wife, and play in a metal band, whose name I'm not going to mention because I don't want to use Blackened Relics as a promotional vehicle. That's what I've been doing. All of those things.
Further, my tastes at any given point tend to run in cycles, and while black metal is ultimately my favorite kind of music ever in the history of music, I like tons of other stuff too, and since I last worked on this blog I've been through glam rock (early '70s English stuff), glam metal (don't tell anyone, but I'm a huge Mötley Crüe fan), EDM (especially minimal techno and microhouse), power metal and '80s European speed metal, classical, gothic rock, and most lately gore/deathgrind. At last, though, the wheel has come full circle, and the flame of the black candle has been reignited, and I'm about to go on a 'I'm-not-doin'-a-goddamn-thing' vacation for a week, which means I can fart around with this all I damn well please.
Stay tuned...
