In the Mind of Nate

Screen shot from our live in studio video February 1st 2026 Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you what I was doing while everyone was watching the Grammys. I know it was a few weeks ago, but the message is still of significance. If you have been following Imbolg over the past few years, you may have noticed we have not released any new material in quite some time. Yes we done newer versions of Red Devil and Paler Still but have not released any new material. So we decided to go live on February 1st (Which happens to be when the Holiday of Imbolg is celebrated) and play the new song we are working for everyone who was watching. I made this decision after spending time trying to figure why we have faced so many obstacles in the past few years with low show attendance, sales and fan engagement. I realized it's not a lack of interest, it is because of many factors that have to do with the business model of promoting music these days. So...

Hello everyone, at the start of last I felt that I may have used the title to that post, Long Cold Winter a bit prematurely. Then that idea went out the window with how warm it got here. But I know that you aren't reading to hear about the weather. And NO this is NOT exactly a year in review entry either... This post stemmed from several thoughts I had over the past week and what music I decided to revisit amongst my favorites. Last week I was describing everything involving performing at the 2nd Annual Misfit Toy Mosh .

More so my temporary inability to do so and the almost castrating or sterilizing feeling that it brought me. A bit over dramatic perhaps, but I feel it necessary to be able to do so. But this was soon overshadowed by realizing that about 1k stickers have been shared aroun...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the Holiday Season. I for one am getting over a nasty cold. Hence the title Long Cold Winter But that's besides the point except that I am probably not the only one who is suffering from some form of illness around this time of year hoping it won't hinder any plans. So far it has been a productive week or so, having recently performed at the 2nd Annual Misfit Toy Mosh among other things. I must admit the Saturday before the event was a dreary one for me. I was not in the best of spirits, despite having an almost complete band primed and ready to go at short notice and the thrill that comes along with anticipating any live performance. I received an alert that the event maybe cancelled due to snow, which infused me with mixed feelings of relief and remorse. I knew getting out and performing was just what I needed to lift my spirits. However, with all the snow I was dreading having to leave for an hours plus l...
