About
There’s a frequency that horror soundtracks, black metal and occult ritual all share. Something that operates below the surface of the music — beneath the riff, beneath the drone, beneath the silence between notes.
My Kind of Weird lives in that frequency.
This is a publication about the music that unsettles, the sounds that stay with you long after the film has ended, and the traditions that gave birth to some of the darkest art ever committed to record. It’s written for people who understand that horror is a feeling before it’s a genre — and that certain records exist less to be enjoyed than to be endured.
If that sounds like your kind of weird, you’re in the right place.
