German black metal musician, Fyrnd, returns once more from the Northern Rhinelands to deliver his third full length release ‘Fórn’. While originally self-released (the reasons for Fyrnask parting ways with Temple of Torturous are unknown) as a digital-only album, Ván… Continue Reading →
This UK based act helmed by Andy Curtis-Brignell have always been interesting and highly experimental. I remember the near neo-folk acoustic lushness of 2008 album ‘Temporary Antennae’ being a challenging listen with many ideas flowing through it. Fast forward to… Continue Reading →
