About Me

Note to bands: I don't accept requests unless I'm suitably impressed so generally don't bother, especially if you're not Metal, Ambient or Industrial and DEFINITELY no Judeo-Christian bands. I'm not collecting bands nor am I socialising with people I don't know IRL on this site, I just use it to keep up with bands I like so don't get offended if I don't say anything.
