@DavidMarra @BleedFromWithin Hi David. Are you going to Hailung on Thursday? From @nichivino

I heard @BleedFromWithin for the first time two days ago and my god is this excellent heavy metal. Power, anger, great sound and lyrics. I love the style of screaming as well. This really speaks to me. Cant believe I’m only discovering them now 🤘🤘

@DavidMarra @Lions You on Bluesky, David? It’s Niav here, I’m gone from twitter! Lions not playing well in black @nichivino.bsky.social

Well, this is a goddamn disaster. @Lions please do something
