Therion. An introduction of sorts.

Whilst I do not have the time or inclination to attempt to explain them at present, I thought I would take some time to explain one of the bands I regularly listen to and even base some of my fictions upon images I get whilst listening to. I refer, of course, to the Swedish symphonic doom metal band called Therion.

Unholy

I have lost count of the number of distinct artists I have on what I like to derisively refer to as my iPood. It is probably in the low hundreds. The story of how I came to be the proud owner of an iPood is one I will tell in a little while. Suffice to say for now that of the hundreds of artists that sit on my iPood and occasionally get listened to, none have perplexed me more than the Finnish doom-black metal crossover who went by the name Unholy.

Frank Zappa. Gone, not forgotten.

I would have been about seven or eight years old when I heard my first Frank Zappa record. In order to get some context, one should bear in mind that this means it was in the mid-1980s, and it was what would turn out to be the first of several rereleases of the recording on the humble compact disc format.
