About Me

I'm Ian. I've also been known by many other names, including: Finley, Viking, Cube, Fin-bulwinter, Beard, Fin-land, Fin-laeca and Fin-troll, but you can call me whatever you prefer (within reason).
I play drums in a number of bands, the most notable of which being:
Wodensthrone - Heathen Black Metal. We have now sold out of our self-released 7" split with Niroth, one of the greatest bands to come out of the UK ever, and are now awaiting the release of 'Over the Binding of the Waves', a split with Folkvang from Belarus, through Ancient Nation Records. We're also working on a full length album which will be coming out through Bindrune Records, hopefully in the new year.
That Hideous Strength - Progressive Death Metal. We'll soon be finished the EP and, although the drums are being done with Drum Kit From Hell, is sounding amazing, and we hope to be playing live much more!
Shitstrike - Nasum-worshiping grindcore. What more can I say? Nasum were the best grindcore band there will ever be!
I also contribute to Terrorizer Magazine , which is perfect for me as it gives me a legitimate excuse for forcing my musical prejudices upon the world. Muahahahaha...
As you may have noticed, music is my life! Hence I have recently launched my own record label... more news on that as it develops. However, I'm currently working as el phone-bitch for a bunch of jewish bankers... not ideal, but it brings in the pennies :-)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sherilyn Fenn (when she was younger)
Dita Von Teese
Runhild Gammelsæter

Day Six Update

It has become clear that Darkthrone are either liars, or have never been to Transylvania in the summer. Now the mountains may be 'cruel to haunt' but this place certainly isn't cold! In fact, inside t...

Day One Update

Well we all arrived here in one piece, no thanks to the seeming lack of motoring laws in this country (there are no barriers or warnings on level crossings, people regularly drive in the middle of the...

Sweet and sour.

It seems like it's one of those days...I have been so happy lately that things were bound to crop up and sour everything with their 'rotting-fruit-and-copydex-glue-smell'.Family is really hard right n...

(un)comfortably numb

Is it just me, or have real emotions died?Every day, I wake up and try to find a reason to get out of bed, a process which can take hours, and is often fruitless. Nothing makes me particularly happy a...

Making it all worthwhile...

Today's been a strange day.This morning I was ready to scream with frustration after receiving an e-mail which has majorly set back my plans and talking on the phone to a guy from my bank telling me j...

Tell me...

Have I really lost myself? Has all trace of good gone from me now? Has all the light and ambition that once burned so fiercely within me truly died?I know you don't have the answer. I don't expect you...

"I hate this city"

I will not apologise for wanting more from my local scene than simply watching my mates' bands playing the same venues over and over again ad nauseum.Perhaps I thought too much of this stinking hole?I...
