This Toulouse quintet have been pretty busy for a doom band. A Nocturnal Crossing is their second full length release since inception in 2016. What they offer is fuzz laden psyche/doom rock with a touch of desert stoner and Radiohead…. Continue Reading →
It’s good to see Czech band Godless Truth back like an old friend. Some years ago I saw them play somewhere in North London, possibly supporting Vomit Remnants at that pub at Archway, and liked their brutal style so much… Continue Reading →
The Australian hard rockers return with this, their fifth album. I reviewed their last album, “Memoirs of a Rat Queen”, and found it to be an enjoyable, if not entirely addictive slab of rock n’ roll. I have to admire… Continue Reading →
