“It sounds like slugs mating…” was the comment from a colleague who heard this. Considering the label, well that was me sold…. With if I’m honest, not the greatest depiction of Cthulhu rising as a cover, Kadaver / Listing is… Continue Reading →
You suffer, I suffer, we all suffer. With a name like this one could expect Suffer Yourself to play grindcore but the track lengths and label suggest something quite different. This Swedish / Ukranian act are new to me and… Continue Reading →
