I like to remember those earlier days of me discovering Brutal Death, the shock I felt, the excitement at Slams, all but a distant memory. Now I’ve seen it all, heard it all and have become somewhat of a snob… Continue Reading →
I spend a lot of my time reflecting on music. Whether that be battling with myself about checking out new genres or embracing nostalgia or even the future I’m always on a journey. I think that is the sad part… Continue Reading →
