When the music stops speaking to you, what’s left? A raw look at creative burnout, emotional silence, and the desperate search for something—anything—to sing about.

Another first unlocked! After a year of writing reviews for Stormbringer, I finally tackled my first interview—an email Q&A with ISTAPP’s drummer, Fjalar. No live interaction (thankfully), just pure icy metal vibes and a whole lot of fun. Turns out, I keep surprising myself, and lately, the words have been flowing again.

Day 5 starts early again after a very bad night.
