Not sure how I swiped some symphonic metal from under Mr Barker’s nose but I did. I was intrigued by these fifteen year plus Italian veterans because I genuinely hadn’t a clue about them but they started as a Death… Continue Reading →
Another generous full CD from the label and another band unknown to me. A band who describe themselves as a metal band playing songs through the eyes of the dying and the cover sports an elephant about to crush a… Continue Reading →
Controversial, aggressive, borderline self-destructive and never giving an inch Mr KK Warslut and his gang of miscreants are back to declare defiance against. well everyone and everything I guess. And with their last two albums being for me career highlights… Continue Reading →

Despite this being their, what, seventh full album I don’t recall ever having even heard of Hetroertzen (originally from Chile, now based in Sweden it seems) – but that’s neither here nor there in the world of black metal. What… Continue Reading →
