I'm still thinking about #Fortress2025 and you better believe that I'm going to torture you more about it when I get back home and have more time.
PS: The main reason to use the # is so that you can mute it and improve your experience in this site 🤣
Back to bands now! I have gushed and will continue to gush about Aristarchos, but hear me out here too: Abduction! They're a whole vibe, sounding much much bigger than their allotted first set of the day. #Fortress2025
More #Fortress2025, this time just ramblings. 1) I've realized from certain posts I've seen today that a couple people who persistently stared probably knew me from here. Cowards! 🤣 Just say hi the next time. One nice gent DID say he knew me from Twitter before I left it. I don't bite.
#fortress2025. I really had the best time with Dödsrit, Moonlight Scorcery, Abduction etc. I went to see Agalloch because they have been my favourite band ever. They were not in the shape imho. The riffs seemed a little off and the band was not completely in sync. Does anyone agree of disagree?
This. Aristarchos really felt like that. The ethereal wisps you see in videos of this performance were my spirit being sucked out of me. #BlackMetalSky #Fortress2025
Very handsome and talented flutist performing with Belore.
Was very much into Belore because of the flute.
The flute:

My pal J. is at the airport with motherducking AGALLOCH! Just sent me a selfie 🔥🔥🔥 #Fortress2025
Here's a little something from a little band called AGALLOCH that I never thought I'd see live. #Fortress2025 #MetalSky
I had very little time to post yesterday, but something I want to scream from the rooftops: ARISTARCHOS!!! Fuck.Me. #Fortress2025
Day 2 of #Fortress2025. Abduction, Belore, Dödsrit, Autumn Nostalgie, Moonlight Sorcery, Aristarchos, Ulcerate, tried to make Grift—but I was on the verge of fainting, went out for air and a friend dragged me to get food; then Fen and Agalloch. Mute the #, because I'll tell you more in coming days!
I'm in bed, showered, exhausted, going through #Fortress2025 photos, having my phone fall on my head as I try to composer this posts. Long day tomorrow but I have so much to reply to & talk about. Now SLEEP!
Having my first beer of the day at 4:35pm—only water since 9am and lots of activity (my neck is wrecked already), watched every concert start to finish until now. No time for food, but this will do in the way of energy for the next assault. #Fortress2025
The poor sound is all on my camera, my zero skills, and Bsky compression needs, not on them. #Selbst #Fortress2025
Sunday stage times for Fortress Festival. Abduction, Before, Dödsrit, Autumn Nostalgia, Moonlight Sorcery, Aristarchos, Ulcerate, Grift, Fen, Agalloch. With interview sessions interspersed.
I ate a large breakfast of eggs, toast, banana & yogurt because I sincerely don't know when I'll be able to eat again today. Look at this bill!!! The only thing I can skip is Forteresse and that's 9+ h from now. #Fortress2025
Day 1 of #Fortress2025. Nemorous, Perennial Isolation (they were great), Aquilus (v. good, w/full band incl. live keyboards and violin!), couple songs of Spirit Possession, Suldusk (really enjoyed; couple musicians doubled up for them & Aquilus), half of The Great Old Ones, Selbst* & Akhlys**.
Having a hard time sleeping, I'm so wired. My phone said ENOUGH and died as I was walking out from Akhlys, half dead myself. I'll answer my notifications tomorrow! #Fortress2025
Selbst was out of this fucking world. #Fortress2025
Fortress stage, red lights, unobstructed view
Seconds later, a tall person blocking the entire view
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every 5ft lady in a show will be assigned a really tall dude to stand before her at all times #Fortress2025
I have been awake for so long that it's 8 am and am ready for a nap before getting ready for #Fortress2025
Wonky mirror selfie wearing a Krallice longie and leather jacket
Checked in. Rolling into #Fortress2025 repping Krallice.
Oh the train. Here we go. #Fortress2025
Home (my hotel) having a pre-bed martini at the bar. Off to ScarborOÜGH early tomorrow! #Fortress2025
Okay. I'm ready for this short 11-day #Eurotrip2025. 23 lb/10 kg, jacket, laptop, all in. #Fortress2025
Things I'm looking forward to in England besides #Fortress2025:
- Tasty beers ≈4% ABV
- Cheese & onion crisps
- Turkish food
- Cheap M&S/Tesco wine in my hotel room 🤣
- Back bacon*
- Kingsmill/Warburton’s**
- Boots (drugstore) and its $2 moisturizers (the American mind can't comprehend this)
I.So.Excite. #Fortress2025
