Woah. Throwback to 15 years ago. First band I tried to form.
We were called Immortallium 🤣

Lost contact with most of the guys there, apart from Jake (the one on the floor).
Don't ask for music, because we never got around to recording any ha.

You'd better believe that we've made "Dreamer" by Ozzy into a Black Metal track.
