There is an old saying that you should never judge a book by its cover (unless said book is the UKIP manifesto in which case feel free to consider it a pile of shite). Equally pertinent is the saying that… Continue Reading →
French four-piece Mudbath, aside from an EP released back in 2012, are relatively unheard of. Debut LP ‘Corrado Zeller’comprises 36 minutes, spanning three tracks; however, most important of all about this record is that it was mastered at Boiler Room… Continue Reading →
After releasing their raging debut EP ‘The Arrival Of Apokalyptic Armageddon’ in 2010, and a split with Japanese black/thrash maniacs Abigail two years later, it may be a new year but don’t expect a new Winds of Genocide. It’s been… Continue Reading →
Featuring members of the short-lived but much vaunted Alchemyst, Thuringian outfit Vivus Humare formed way back in 2007 but it is only now, nearly eight years later, that they present a full-length recording to the world courtesy of the ever-reliable… Continue Reading →
