Apparently this Spanish symphonic and operatic band formed in Spain in 2005 and recorded just one song which got immediate airplay and inspired the band to write more. I would kind of like to go and find whoever played the… Continue Reading →
Let the progressive metal begin. “Athens” is about … Athens and the dead ends of modern Greece, where Playgrounded come from. This is not parochial however. Anyone can associate with this album. “Athens”, which starts with the title track, hit… Continue Reading →
Execration began their assault on the bleeding ears of humanity with a textbook, brutal, death metal pummelling back in 2008. It was a superb introduction to the band which had until then only produced a couple of demos, one in… Continue Reading →
