ICYMI: James Paterson picked the brain of Swedish artist Andreas Axelsson and his distinct-sounding neofolk project Nattramn. Sharing little-known knowledge on lost runes and ancient tones, Axelsson also spoke of his Aethelwyne-collab, ravens, and more.

Neofolk strongman Rich Hobson has reviewed Heldom’s new 16-track album ‘Vaknan’. As a child, @Heldom4’s Janus Pedersen was fascinated by drums. Perhaps then, this explains the prevalence of percussion found in his engrossing dark-folk project. #folkmusic

In this week’s video game roundup, worlds of darkness and madness tear through the fabrics of reality, their morose and Grimm imagery a telltale sign of a blood-soaked future. Read on for the gloom rundown.

We are approaching that time of year when i’s all about the holidays — hence news trickles out more slowly. Let’s hope Blizzard’s @Diablo is not a launch disaster, and that would-be captains will enjoy @KalypsoMedia’s Port Royale 4 in 4K on #PS5 & #Xbox.

Our #ResidentEvil8Village review might be late to the party, but Rich Hobson took good care of the title ensuring what is expressed in the review is just and fair.
In short, this time, Capcom @dev1_official disappoints.
