Once Upon A Time in the deep dark 70’s there was a guy called Tony Wakeford who embarked upon a quest to recount tales of old English eccentricity and legend. He has been doing so ever since and has released… Continue Reading →
Something really odd has been going on and confusing me lately. It suddenly clicked what it was and it is the fact that two albums on my review pile, this and the new Necrophagia both start with a sample from… Continue Reading →
Not entirely sure what is going to happen when I try to post this one up and it may mean reverting to the title in English but I shall at least try to keep things authentic for this one man… Continue Reading →
