Welcome back to ULTRAVIOLET-VISIONS, now with a new home! Previously, our blogs were hosted through Tumblr but it's been a while and now there are more blogging tools available than ever. I chose pckt.blog since it's free to use, highly customizable, and connects directly through our Bluesky account through AT protocol.

New Bilmuri's album is bruuutal

Holy guacamole! I've been waiting for this release since he started teasing a new album and it's just so worth it. The first song starts the show with a banger. It's just a super chuggy breakdown with a freaking eagle passing you by, only to tie up the start the second song that follows with a super catchy and pop-infused verse.
