Feeling like a limb has been cut off and you have been thrown to the wolves to defend for yourself? Well that’s certainly the political climate in the UK at the moment for many. Not that this should have anything… Continue Reading →
This is the fourth release from Finland’s Anal Blasphemy which is the putrid spawn of Molestor Kadostus – a one man kvlt band here. This a raw and spiky, living up to Molestor’s self labelled “Bestial Black Metal Filth” …. Continue Reading →
I have followed the black and wintry path of Neige et Noirceur since their 2009 album “Crépuscule Hivernale sans fin sure Les Terrres de Guerre”. and without doubt these Québecois have carved an interesting path of black ambient music. Occasionally… Continue Reading →
