Ah, the current hot weather spell in the UK makes me think of good old Australia. I tell you what else makes me think of our south of the equator cousins? Blackened death metal. I reviewed 2016’s “The Hecatomb” album… Continue Reading →
We don’t often get singles to review here, much less on CD, so I guess it’s only right to give it a blast. Oh, it’s listed as an EP but with just two tracks and a combined length of 6:18… Continue Reading →
OSDM, what an odd term. That’s Old School Death Metal for you non-Death Metal types. I say odd because of the wave of newer ‘OSDM’ styled bands that we see now. There has been a huge resurgence in this sound…. Continue Reading →
