Genuinely one of my favorite songs from the new album. If you like metal, give it a listen when it comes out. It helps tremendously 🤘
OBSESSION WILL TEAR US APART.
WULFENITE, the final single from Aramis' upcoming third album, arrives Wednesday!
Get ready for the heaviest song I have ever written. It's a good one!

I used to live in an apartment complex that had a large patch of various wildflowers that would bloom every spring. This one, among many other photos taken during the spring of 2020, is my favorite by far.

Welcome to the new year, everyone. Here's a photo from Black Chasm Caverns, featuring a back-lit drapery of flowstone stalactites deep within the main chamber. Easily one of my favorite shots I've ever taken.
