Formed from the ashes of Chicago based thrash bruisers Usurper, Rick Scythe has a new project simply called Scythe, a no nonsense heavy metal band that more or less continues where Usurper finished off. There are no frills here, its… Continue Reading →
There is always going to be a certain amount of nostalgia involved in reviewing a Hawkwind album, well they have been around since forever (1969 to be precise). I have fond memories of walking into my local record shop on… Continue Reading →
