It is time to escape to the tranquil and pastoral Austrian Tyrol. Watch that cow-pat it’s freshly laid and still steaming, ouch, damn bitey bugs, achoo, stupid hay-fever. Ah it’s OK, still in the comfort of the living room, but… Continue Reading →
You all know I love Death Metal, but do I ever get bored of it? Well yes actually. When I was younger and more of an elitist I’d pick Obituary over Manowar, now it’s the reverse. Plus, the fact that… Continue Reading →
I don’t know this band, but the way they’re being written about I feel that I should. How does a band return for its debut album? This lot from California apparently have. I can’t say I’d heard of the bands… Continue Reading →

Almost 30 years, 5 albums on, our man from Naglfar brings us 7 pieces of death worship. So suitably our celebration in honor of death starts with the bells and a Burzum like fuzz to get us in the mood…. Continue Reading →
