I have to admit that I went into this review a little blind, not really knowing much about Drunemeton except an awareness that they are Russian Pagan Black Metal……I googled “Drunemeton” to try to do a bit of background research… Continue Reading →
Russian label Haarbn Production have an interesting and niche roster of releases. Things pop up from them very occasionally and to date they have only 38 albums to their name. What I have noticed is that despite often containing a… Continue Reading →
