Female fronted doom, vicar? Well, it’s a worn path, and one that can be trod well from time time. Personally, I was a massive fan of 90’s one-album wonders, UK doomers Mourn and their incredible music. Flame, Dear Flame hail… Continue Reading →
Anyone familiar with Craven Idol will know the band’s two releases to date have pointed towards considerable talent and flair for mischief. Unlike a lot of blackened thrash bands these North London lads do not hold back on tampering with… Continue Reading →
