If you recognise the most deliberate nod in the title of this album (to The Axis Of Perdition for the uninitiated) then not only will you have a vague idea for the turmoil, chaos and noise within but will also… Continue Reading →
It’s odd. Blame the plague but I realised when I got this that I hadn’t heard anything from this atmospheric UKBM band for a couple of years and from what I thought was just a diversification from their sound on… Continue Reading →
I confess that that I didn’t know the band Norse before this release in spite of “Ascetic” being their fourth album. The idea that they play dissonant black metal did appeal to me. So off we go with the title… Continue Reading →
