By way of preparation I had the pleasure of listening again to Dperd’s previous work “Io Sono Un Errore”. It is as moody and sultry a work as you could wish to hear. “Sleepy” was my wife’s description. I’d have… Continue Reading →
With a band name like this and the accompanying album titles plus cover art this US act isn’t out to make friends amongst the religious fraternity that’s for sure, preferring to blaspheme their way through ten tunes of brutal slamming… Continue Reading →
