Yes it is that man again Rogga Johansson, this time with one of his most long standing outfits Paganizer. Following on from ‘Into the Catacombs’ this sees the further expulsion of filthy old school death and crusty grind going nail… Continue Reading →
There is the Battle of the Bands. This is the battle of the same band. The one in question is Lifeforms from Sacramento, USA. The title of this album is well chosen. Twanging djent, raging metalcore and long, high, sirening… Continue Reading →
