#valeofpnath

My altar for analog worship sessions.

I was given a challenge today to post pics of things I have signed. My favorite item is my beloved Gatecreeper skateboard deck. I’ve also chosen nine other prized signed items to complete this challenge.

Vale of Pnath destroyed Houston tonight! You’ve heard me gush about this band before, especially their 2019 release, “Accursed” (a Top10 for me). They did not disappoint. When these guys go blackened, they’re the best in the game. Wow! As a bonus, I got to see Wolf King again, and they were excellent. Here’s my show loot, and a few merch table pics for you fiends.

I’m about ready for the mixtape trading to start back up again. I just finalized my j-card and playlist. Thoughts on the tracks? Would you play this?

#mpvpatchchallenge Day 3: “A patch with an unreadable logo.” . That jumbled mess of lines says “Vale of Pnath,” an exceptional technical death metal band from Denver, Colorado. Their 2019 release, “Accursed,” was one of the year’s best.

Five awesome embroidered patches just arrived from the mighty Maniac MX Patches: Vale of Pnath, Samhain, Entombed, Havok, and Gruesome. This guy’s work is exceptional. Highly recommend. Check out his Facebook page for a full catalog of patches.

My cup runneth over with new band shirts that I’ve picked up during the last month or so. Uada, Dark Funeral, Vale of Pnath, Prong, Skeletonwitch, and Hoth. I finally had to start a second battle jacket because my main filled up. Times are good, and I’m a lucky dude.


The first half of 2019 is coming to a close. Here are nine of my favorite vinyl releases so far: Wormwitch, Spirit Adrift, Vale Of Pnath, Numenorean, Hath, Inferi, Beastmaker, Vader, and All Hell. There have been quite a few other stand outs this year as well. What’s on your list?
