Starting out as a black/doom metal band in 1991 in Germany, 25 years on and many many more line-up changes later, bassist/guitarist Jürgen Bartsch is the only remaining founding member, with long time drummer Wolz retaking his 12 year post… Continue Reading →
With the sinister artwork for this release, I was expecting a darker experience from this Swedish band. However, what you end up with is traditional metal in modern terms, taking their inspiration from Priest and Accept and I have actually… Continue Reading →
Gnaw Their Tongues is an act that genuinely lives up to the stereotype of metal being scary. Returning with his 10th studio album, the man behind the madness, Mories, sets out to unnerve once more with ‘Hymns for the Broken,… Continue Reading →
