Formed in 2020, these Turin based metallers drop their debut long player after a string of EP’s. “Fire Blades From The Tomb” finds the band delivering their own take on a doom meets black metal mix. Utilising two bass guitarists… Continue Reading →
This is death metal from Poland, and the band’s called Sacrofuck, so little is left to the imagination. How many times am I going to write the word “harsh”? Before I get on to the album “Święta Krew”, which translates… Continue Reading →
Five short tracks from the West Midlands based lunatics Accelerated Mutation on their latest review. The three piece of Mike Petalengro (vocals), Tim Connor (guitars) and Simon Heywood (drums) are back with five songs of manic, thrash-based grindcore with something… Continue Reading →
Ah. A precious night arrives as here we have the absolute legendary entity that is Lustmord arriving to prove that only true vision and genius can do dark ambient so well. Brian Williams, the Welsh maestro behind this name, returns… Continue Reading →
