If you’re bored and want to amuse yourself in a slightly different way, try the following: Type “The world’s most confusing graphs” into your search engine and have a good look at what comes up. It’s mind-boggling, I’m telling you…. Continue Reading →
A bit of Polish black metal never did anyone any harm. Deus Mortem from Wroclaw now bring us their second album from the chasms of chaos and destruction. As you’d expect, this album has an uncompromising and violent edge. Deus… Continue Reading →
Portland, Oregon. It seems as if one in every three new doom albums from the USA hail from this location. In fairness to Lord Dying, they’ve been going since 2010, so at the very least have some proper heritage to… Continue Reading →
