In an era when metal has taken on so many forms it’s somehow comforting to think back to thrash metal as one of the genre’s purest. Who can argue with Fistful of Metal, Feel The Fire and Kill ‘Em All?… Continue Reading →
If you have never heard of Italian instrumental duo Deflore, well you can no doubt be forgiven. They have never hit my radar despite having four albums out. If however you don’t know who Jaz Coleman is, well shame on… Continue Reading →
Whatever the view is outside your window it’s time to cast it off and dream of the snow-capped mountains of The Pyrenees. We are about to venture into the world of Stille Volk and it is an olden one without… Continue Reading →
