About

FYRTEK is my personal fire—lit by the music I live and breathe. It's the collision of raw emotion and digital grit. The name comes from fire and tech—because that’s what this is: primal energy powered by modern tools.

I’m Alan Gurling, and FYRTEK is my personal and creative outlet dedicated to the music genres that move me: metal, black metal, post-black, blackgaze, post-rock, melodic death, grunge, shoegaze—and everything in between. If it’s emotive, atmospheric, or hits with purpose with a catchy melody, it belongs here.

You can explore my listening history via my Last.fm profile, where every scrobble tells part of the story. This isn’t about trends or algorithms—it’s about real music, real emotion, and the tech that lets us share it.

Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to FYRTEK.
