Vanir have been about for a lot longer than you might think. The Danish Viking metal merchants actually produced their first album back in 1991, though I got into them back in around 2016 with the “Aldar Ruk” record. It’s… Continue Reading →
The debut by this American quartet from the San Fernando Valley kicks off to a great start as they deliver their Gothenburg style Melodic Death Metal as they open with the title track “Dead Mother Moon” which immediately gets up… Continue Reading →
