I knew of this Finnish band mostly down to a couple of very positive reviews on Ave Noctum for previous releases. This, their fourth full length happily fell to me this time as with a name like Bonehunter on Hells… Continue Reading →
I first saw Leprous in 2010 at ProgPower and was impressed by their freshness and originality. In the intervening years, I’ve seen them live a few more times and bought their albums up to “The Congregation” (2015) which I particularly… Continue Reading →
“Another Dimension” is actually Greek Metal Crimson Fire’s 3rd album, over a period of around 11 years. With something like a five year gap between each one, the band have taken the time to steadily evolve their straight edged Heavy… Continue Reading →
