Such a charming name for a musical collective! This is Ronseal music. You get exactly what it says on the tin. Raw rage filled thrashing loveliness. The version I was sent of this cd was mistagged and I had to… Continue Reading →
King Fear is a relatively new project formed by Nachtgarm (of Negator, and recently filling in for Dark Funeral on vocals). Before this, their debut full length album, they had released only a single EP in 2012. Although there is… Continue Reading →
For the moment the obscure sounding Volgna-Gath come enshrouded in as much mystery as is lurking within the pea-soup fog billowing out of my window on this cold autumnal morning. They come armed with a devilish LaVeyan mission statement proclaiming… Continue Reading →
