Favourite record/s discovered this year that wasn't released in 2018:
Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith & Devotion Live
Predictions for 2019 :
Hardcore is for those who truly love it, those who see its potential, those who push it forward, who shape it to be a weapon against this world of sin we are forced to dwell within. Never dull this weapon, strike out at every enemy with it.
2019 will see our culture to continue to be a space for every freak, geek and weirdo to exist.
Support your community in any way you can.
Peace, love and respect to those still in the game. No love and all disrespect to every tourist and costume wearing toy who has left as soon as they entered.

STARVATION
I am Mariam,from what I can read. It has been sad news and scam to everyone about Voodoo casters or so. But to me they are so real because one worked for me not quite long ago.i met this man on a blog his name is Dr Abalaka is a very powerful man.I traveled down to where his shrine his and we both did the ritual and sacrifice.he had no website yet but he promised to create one as costumers are requesting for it, and now i'm free from the powders of sickness.I don't know about you but Voodoo is real;love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,diabetic voodoo,hypertensive,depression healing voodoo etc,high cholesterol voodoo,Trouble in marriage,Barrenness(need a child),Luck, Money Spells,he also cure any cancer and HIV,it's all he does. I used my money to purchase everything he used he never collected a dime from. He told me I can repay him anytime with anything from my heart. Now I don't know how to do that. If you can help or you need his help write him on (dr.abalaka@outlook.com) and also his cell number: 760-935-3804 you can text him because he use to be very busy some times,i believe that your story will change for better,or if you have any question you can contact me here as mariambaurice@gmail.com best of luck.
