Anything new by US psyched out doomsters Orchid is always going to perk me up. Their debut EP Through The Devils Doorway hooked me, their debut full length Capricorn reeled me in and their set at Desertfest floored me. Now… Continue Reading →
‘Age of Perversion’ is Offending’s second album, and exhibits a number of French musicians whose backgrounds are predominantly rooted in black metal. Coming from Deepsend though – the same label which recently introduced me to the enjoyable Deadly Remains –… Continue Reading →
This is a split release between death metal barbarians Deception and the evil black metal horde Demonic Slaughter, both fromPoland. Presented in a real nice fold out digipack, the two bands have a fair bit of history behind them, the… Continue Reading →
