Deceased really are the definition of a “cult” band. They’ve been plying their foetid trade now since 1985, and while many metal heads will be au fait with their name, I wonder how many have taken the step to actually… Continue Reading →
Expectation is a heavy weight and a backstabbing bitch. Just in case you wondered… Right. Destroy is another project by Ville ‘V-KhaoZ’ Pallonen, the absolute master of all things synth in whatever he turns his hand to. His futuristic, decaying… Continue Reading →
Avant-garde black metal, dark atmospheres and themes …. let’s try Serotonin. “Motiv” is the band’s fourth album release. The band itself has been around for about 20 years. The album starts with the fast and hard “Climbing the Colossus”, the… Continue Reading →
