Lift your eyes, I can see the light

A metalhead that crochets, collects CDs, reads about anything apart from detective novels, draws sometimes, likes to make weird jewellery and paint on T-shirts

Lift your eyes - I can see the light (march on, march on) Lift your eyes - you can see it too

Eluveitie - The Slumber

Welcome to my mashup of a blog!

On here, I like to ramble about:

Heavy metal music - almost all subgenres; currently obsessing over: Theatre of Tragedy, Dark Tranquillity, Eluveitie, Lamb of God, Avantasia, Illumishade, Velian and more

Crochet

Travelling and concerts

Books

CD collecting

Birds

Star Wars

Jewellery making

More music, I guess

Needlessly long song lyrics analysis (haven't done this in a while but it's tempting)

Drawing (sometimes)

I love random chats, so please don't hesitate to send an ask or a DM if you want to! I also enjoy tag/ask games!

I have a (currently mostly inactive) side blog: @metal-music-quiz

They sing of love, they sing of regret Time doesn't wait for the dead They sing of hope, they sing of fears They sing of friends they lost to years So don't wait until your life is over Say your piece now Or join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Did you know that Seven Spires' first ever show in my country is a thing that's going to happen in October?

Today was poppy study day 🌿

I have a few other sketches but this one was my favourite, so it's the only one I completed.

Watch: ANTHRAX Performs New Single 'It's For The Kids' Live For First Time

ANTHRAX played its new single, "It's For The Kids", live for the first time during the band's concert on Tuesday, May 26 at Vasil Levski Sta

And it was an awesome moment! 😃

(Still can't believe that it was truly the first time)

Iron Maiden concert = bring out the fancy clothes

This is my light vest with a hand-painted back. And yes, it's a special Swedish Melodeath edition (with a few random pins). 😁

BABYYY, WE SCORED SO GOOD

From the same store as last time. Truly my lucky place! 🤘

Feels like they're spying on my search history to find ideas for stuff to stock up on XD

WAIT Adrienne Cowan from seven spires and avantasia. I was drawing it for really long time (I had art troubles). In the end of this, I love it

Painting T-shirts is good and all until you end up with a massive (A3 sheet) but fragile cutout template that you have to store somewhere
