‘Conjuring the Red Death Eclipse’ was our first taste of Norway’s Nachash brandishing a filtered blackened assault that remains true in the original spirit the band was conceived and that’s continued on this first full length album. The tempo is… Continue Reading →
It’s been three years since As the Blind Strive/ The Catastrophist which introduced the world to Oslo’s Rongeur. That release compiled their work to date and gave a tantalising flavour of the trio’s heavy dirty sound. At the end of my… Continue Reading →
