Frenetic, psychologically challenging black metal is the greeting. I expected this, having reviewed Hail Spirit Noir’s previous bizarre work “Pneuma” (2012). Once again, ideas come at you from all angles. “Blood Guru” is exciting and colourful with its complex infrastructure…. Continue Reading →
There’s a lot of bullshit in metal these days, lots of samey sounding young bands with tattooed necks and ‘complicated’ haircuts who think it’s all about screaming over recycled riffs. Either that or going all ‘hippy-witchcraft’ on us, getting the… Continue Reading →
