Quite the back history to Denmark’s Detest, as it turns out. I’m a bit of a sucker for Danish metal, particularly bands from the 90’s, and it turns out that Detest formed way back in 91, and were actually making… Continue Reading →
Quite possibly one of the most underrated and overlooked death metal bands of the last 30 years, Sweden’s Wombbath may have a moniker conjuring up images of sonic rancidity but they offer so much more than that, indeed their latest… Continue Reading →
