Parrilla, hailing from the Southend on the Sea, UK, have been described as a rising force in the UK underground. Having cut their teeth round Essex, sharing the stage with the likes of Goat Monsoon and participating in Bloodstock’s Metal… Continue Reading →
Underdark are a band that should be on the lips of everyone who loves brutality and beauty. I forget that they are a hidden gem for many and react with maybe a little too much enthusiasm when someone comments on… Continue Reading →
New to me, but not new to the world of metal are Agrypnie, a long-standing progressive/post-black metal band from Germany. The project’s beginnings date back as far as 2004, when vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Torsten Hirsch started out all on his own. Although… Continue Reading →
