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 again, you might have noticed that I then a little bit more consistent lately. And I must admit it's because of the wonderful feedback I've gotten on my writing. I do appreciate when even one person takes the time out of their busy day to read and give feedback. It makes me want to keep sharing more with all of you. And for that I am very grateful. After all, a decent of the time I am speaking from a personal perspective and not a journalistic one. At this point in my life I've heard many sayings and parables that were created in order to teach people how some wisdom. One that certainly sticks out is one I heard from a dearly departed friend and mentor Alan Tynes . He said "God gave us two ears and one mouth because we are supposed to listen twice as much as we are supposed to talk". He wasn't talking directly to me but since I was within earshot [sic] I took note of it. Another saying that has been on my mind is of course "Less is more"...

Yes, you heard that right. In The mists of going public about his health issues, the Prince of Darkness climbed to the #1 spot on the Metal Contraband charts this week with the first single off his forthcoming album Ordinary Man called "Under the Graveyard", which features Chad Smith , drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Duff Mckagan of Guns and Roses on Bass. The second single off Ordinary Man is entitled "Straight to Hell", also features a member of Guns and Roses, Slash on guitar. Other artists that appear on the album include, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Post Malone and Fellow UK music legend Elton John . Maybe Sir Elton will put in a good word in with the Queen for the Ozzman and he will be Knighted "Sir Ozzy". Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Judging by the sound of these first two songs, I think that Ozzy will once again deliver an album with a great mixture of his modern solo sound and the bare-bones, nitty gritty...
