You can get a very good idea of a bands work ethic by following them on social media and as far as Norse Pagan blacksters Kampfar are concerned there are not many out there who have a stronger one. Constantly… Continue Reading →

Drudkh’s eleventh album is released against the backdrop of their homeland fighting for independence from the renewed imperialistic urges of Mother Russia, a situation which the Western world clearly empathises with. Regardless, as with my Necrom earlier in the year… Continue Reading →
