Battle Dagorath – II: Frozen Light of Eternal Darkness (Avantgarde Music)

Meat Train’s 2013 debut “Flesh Made Man” was a cool record. From the eye catching cover art to the Londoners blend of filthy, primitive death metal the album was, for me at least a breath of pungent air and the… Continue Reading →
