Here’s just a short little something something that may make you smile, as it did me.
Akercocke may sadly be no more, but the spirit of the band lives on… in Legos. What you’re about to see is an animated video made by Akercocke fan “LegonardoDaFinci“, using Legos. It stars Darth Vader (aka Blast Vader) in the role of Akercocke’s drummer David Gray in a “drum play-through” of part of the song “Eyes of the Dawn” from Akercocke’s Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone (2005). LegonardoDaFinci did something like this before, in a Lego-ized tribute to Cryptopsy (here).
David Gray, of course, is still alive and well and performing in the UK black metal band Voices along with former Akercocke members Peter Benjamin and Sam Loynes. Their debut album From the Human Forest Create a Fugue of Imaginary Rain was released in March 2013 by Candlelight — and, what the hell, I might as well embed the player for that album right after the video.

On the bonus DVD to “Words go unspoken..” there is a very silly documentary, quite funny to watch, oh, and it includes BLAST VADER, 😀

This made me smile. Mission accomplished.
And I am enjoying Voices very much. It took me a while to find the album on bandcamp, but here is a link in case anyone else is interested in it:

Or, you can follow the embedded link – oops – sometimes I don’t pay attention.
