I am sure the band have probably heard this before, but you would be totally forgiven for thinking that Brutally Deceased were from Stockholm, and are probably elder statesmen of underground Swedish Death metal. However, you would of course be… Continue Reading →
When a mate of mine heard the last Borknagar album, his first comment to me was “Well, that’s Vintersorg buggered then”. I felt this was a comment with far too many possible connotations…on many levels…and so I asked him… Continue Reading →
Y’know now I think about it I’m sure Purple Hill Witch was the answer I got when I did a ‘What Is Your Stoner band name’ internet quiz. Ahem. Anyway: Hailing from Oslo, and either named after a mound covered… Continue Reading →
