Working on some Candle Void stuff 👀
Sneak peek of the next Candle Void artwork, showing an old edited picture of a place I actually lived in for some time a few years ago (this picture is much older though, taken between the 1920s and 1950s, when the building was a hospital). It's slightly sepia coloured and has a canvas texture. In the top there's the Candle Void logo

I just found a review for Requiem by chance. There weren't many for this album, so it's cool to see one, especially one where the writer seems to really understand the music.

Got a camera again a few weeks ago. Now if only the films weren't that expensive... Can't wait to take pictures again after all these years.

Barclay James Harvest - Live Tapes
I usually don't like live albums and avoid them, but this one is good. And it features probably the best version of Child Of The Universe they ever recorded!

Chroming Rose - Louis XIV
Released in 1990, this is the picture disc edition with the non metallic round cover.
Such an awesome album!

Didn't find any good Insomnium backpatches, so I made a DIY backpatch out of a shirt and some iron-on fleece today!
