documenting a dark + colorful life.
elemental metal; vol. 1: fire
This is the first playlist in a series of four; a musical journey throughout which we’ll be exploring the essence of each natural element through variegated genres of metal. Each song has a place here, chosen carefully to represent the multitude of emotions and experiences that one might relate to the element of fire.
This is the first playlist in a series of four; a musical journey throughout which we’ll be exploring the essence of each natural element through variegated genres of metal.
The star of this playlist is fire, the element of passion, rage, and creation. Each song has a place here, chosen carefully to represent the multitude of emotions and experiences that one might relate to the element of fire:
Newness, and the light of life. Environmental destruction. Uncontrollable change. Detrimental loss. Necessary and natural alterations of self and planet. Anger, for a cause. Personal transformation, through the most extreme circumstances— unavoidable change that paves the way for new growth.
Featuring an oldie-but-goodie from the heavy kings of Black Tongue, a brand new collaboration track from the Maryland-based experimental masterminds in Full of Hell, and a doom-heavy offering from the almighty, often extraterrestrial YOB, this playlist will guide you through the full range of every fiery feeling.
thrifted fall finds: semigoth edition
I’m always thankful to happen upon a really dramatic, “right place, right time” kind of piece. This look combines two of my favorite thrift store finds for the colder months: a gorgeous, black satin-esque trench that looks like it came from the set of The Matrix, and this stunning, floor-length maxi dress that features a nude mid-length dress draped in black lace.
The thrift goddesses have been extremely kind to me this autumn season. How about you?

The bottom of the dress from the thigh area downward is all see-through, stunning black lace, every goth-inspired, shadow-dweller’s dream.
self-love ritual: 9 songs to romance your spirit
As we focus on self-connection and internal exploration this season, it’s the perfect time to get in touch with yourself on a new level. Each song on this alternative + metal-infused playlist has one thing in common: passion. These are songs that would normally be dedicated to another; but your spirit deserves that love first, don’t you think.
