Illuminate me?

Romantic relationships are one of the most complex, multifaceted and significant relationships that we have with each other.

Dead Poetic’s Vices

The Black (Review)

Title: The Black Artist: Asking Alexandria Genre: Metalcore Year: 2016 Now I know, if you want to torture me lock me in a room for 24hrs while playing this album on a loop. Don't leave me with anything sharp because I'm sure I would end myself within the first hour. It genuinely feels like Asking …
