Death Hawks – Sun Future Moon (Svart Records)

As the title suggests, this album is somewhere “out there”. Dreamy hippie sounds from a bygone era with a pleasant rhythm and a smooth song progression make for a calming and hypnotic experience. That’s typified by “Hey Ya Sun Ra”,… Continue Reading →

Awe – Providentia (Pulverised)

I think the biggest problem I have with this album from Greek black metal band Awe is that it kind of sounds exactly as I thought it might. Wrapped in some very nice artwork and split into three passages or… Continue Reading →

The Hallow – Corin Hardy (EOne)
