So, I attended Marduk perform live some hours ago. While their performance was phenomenal, (although a bit short of their most famous songs, because it's a 2-day live) something happened after the show, that unsettled me.
Barely 5'-10' had passed since Marduk stopped playing, and while I was outside of the venue with some friends just chilling, around 30-40 antifas showed up with helmets on. We all immediately started running, but some weren't aware of them, and they attacked them.
One had his skull open, and the others were left unconscious. Thankfully, only 3-4 people were harmed, but I fleed immediately and when I tried returning to see what happened, police had blocked the street.
I make this post to raise awareness. Be careful people. I was lucky to get home safely tonight, because of some misinformed idiots.
Be safe, brothers and sisters. Hails from Greece.
I don’t know anybody else that uses AM and I’m looking for people to follow.

Symphonic/Gothic Black Metal
I only started listening to black metal a few years ago, so the whole backstory with Blake was new to me. This new album popped up on Spotify and I'm really digging it. Tried some of the older albums and they seem very different and not in a good way.
What are your thoughts on Blight Privilege? Found one review that seemed positive: https://theheadbangingmoose.com/2024/10/28/album-review-nachtmystium-blight-privilege-2024/
Also happy to find other bands (without Blake's baggage) that have a similar sound. More on the meloblack side -
Appropriate, as it's november
