There are some that think Napalm should’ve knocked it on the head back in 1989 after the ‘Mentally Murdered’ EP. That Napalm Death is now a covers band & that anything from ‘Harmony Corruption’ onwards is shit. These people (thankfully… Continue Reading →
The deep and lush tones which resound from this album told me that this band comes from Finland before I’d even looked it up. It’s a strange thing but many Finnish bands seem to conjure up a melodic and innocent… Continue Reading →
