Antoine Grasser is the head honcho is this single mind project hailing from France releasing this decent debut and even getting the release on a quality label. Antoine is a musician and here he does all the guitar work, bass… Continue Reading →
From Belfast and playing in the style of Swedish black metal, Imperial Demonic present their debut EP. You’d expect “The Furnace” to be fiery, and so it is. With riffage worthy of Dark Funeral and screams and horror to match,… Continue Reading →
This is one of those tricky ones to review as this French trio do not give much away and what they do compared to what is described strikes me as incorrect. Here they follow up debut EP imaginatively entitled I… Continue Reading →
