The self-titled album of 94 and ‘Do We Speak A Dead Language’ which followed a couple of years later were absolute classics. Downset, the US politically charged, socially responsible hardcore act should have been massive on the strength of these… Continue Reading →
Must be a full-moon. We just recovered from a savage mauling by Australian band Werewolves and now we have more lycanthropic rage from Columbus Ohio. Invultation is apparently the practice of making and using effigies of people for magical purposes… Continue Reading →
I have to admit that I felt slightly underwhelmed on first perusal of this album, the fifth from Catalans Vidres A La Sang and second since they came back from a ten-year hiatus. But the five songs here should probably… Continue Reading →
Lingering around the review list and casting a filthy miasma this US based power trio were crying out ‘In The Name Of Death’ for some coverage. Noting that they are described as playing a form of ‘blackgrind’ ala war metal… Continue Reading →
