I hesitate to use the word “cult” as there so many cult bands from Norway, especially in the field of black metal, but Limbonic Art is a band, or rather a one person project, to be respected. I remember Devilish… Continue Reading →
Offering up a steady stream of full lengths, split releases and EP’s since 2016, Wraith have an old school thrash style that is very much a product of their influences. The four member band are clearly standard bearers for early… Continue Reading →
