Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.

Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.
