EPs, demos, whatever you want to call a release these days you can pretty much get away with it. For me though an EP is exactly that an Extended Play, an extension of previous work, or in better circumstances the… Continue Reading →
No shortage of “Wisdom” as far as Italian cultists Mortuary Drape are concerned. They have been ushering devotees through the musical veil to the other side of their rotten drape for the best part of 35 years now. Although still… Continue Reading →
A debut release from this (I think) duo and it’s a concept album mixing the idea of F.W. Murnau, director of classic 1922 film Nosferatu, going to Hollywood and getting mixed up with actual vampires in 1928 (which I guess… Continue Reading →
I don’t know about you but it always swells my heart when a band I have followed through the years is still making fresh and invigorating material and not simply going through the motions as a nostalgia act. Voivod are… Continue Reading →
