Not knowing much about this Italian group, from the description I was expecting some descent into utter Hell carved out by the collective sickness of something akin to Khanate meets the Axis of Perdition. Er… No. This is an altogether… Continue Reading →
The music of Blood Legion comes from the darkest chasms of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Reading up on them before listening to this 3 track promotional release, it is evident that their inspiration is in bands like Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Slayer,… Continue Reading →
Considering the vast amount of death metal bands out there in the world, there are relatively few who capture the true essence of death metal. Of course, this can mean different things to different people, but for those people who… Continue Reading →
