Whilst most black metal musicians seem focused on the extinction of mankind this US one man outfit are all about evolutionary anthropology and prehistory. Helmed by Alp we head off to the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras for a… Continue Reading →
I know it seems like Arrow central over here but they do send us review stuff in of the films that I love. They are not alone in releasing the classics of old and getting former video nasties through the… Continue Reading →
