Thanks to everyone who came down to the Murderer’s last Friday for the first ever Dark Metal Mass – I hope you had as good a time as I did! The location turned out great and the barstaff even encouraged us to do another one there. Success for Death and Black Metal.
Here’s an impression from just before things started, including my DIY sound desk. Rest assured that next time I shall have proper decks, which should keep the technical glitches down.

And here’s what you missed if you weren’t there:
