It seems like just last year that there was an Iron Savior album released…and it was, but that was re-recorded versions of some of their older tracks whereas this is a shiny new offering, the first since “Skycrest” in 2020…which… Continue Reading →
It was back in 2020 that I reviewed a pair of great E.P.s from Cork, Ireland’s “The Grief”, at which point I gave them a collected 8.5 out of 10. Well, it’s three years later and the lads from the… Continue Reading →
German atmospheric black metallers Waldgeflüster have decided to release an EP that contains one new song, two covers and a re-recorded song from their early discography. I absolutely loved this bands last album ‘Dahoam’ released in 2021 which I reviewed… Continue Reading →
