After wondering how an ep could have 12 tracks, I then realised that this is in fact two eps. The experienced Swedish artist who is Bioplan (sounds like a brand of yoghurt to me but I’ll get over it), released… Continue Reading →
As far as I can recall, there are five metal bands called Abduction and I wasn’t sure which one this was when I put my hand up for the review so I was pleased to learn that this was the… Continue Reading →
Dutch black metal project, Golden Ashes, was founded in 2018 by Maurice De Jong (also known as Mories of Gnaw Their Tongues) and has since released two EPs and two albums, which is an incredibly busy output for just two… Continue Reading →
