Hurrah, it’s time to get bonkers from Bergen once more as carrion critters Vulture Industries return with album number five. I admit to having had a long lead time with this and played it to death as soon as I… Continue Reading →
The brief snippets I heard of this Australian band were enough for me to want to review this latest release for the site, before which I did a proper swing through their discography to get a feel for how the… Continue Reading →
Just two weeks ago I reviewed the impressive new offering from American/Greek Metal band Prydain featuring a certain Bob Katsionis on bass and additional guitars, a fortnight later the multi-instrumentalist turns up here on the keyboards for Italian Melodic Power… Continue Reading →
