I expected a violent pure death metal assault but the path which Nar Mattaru trod was a creepy, maggot-infested invitation to impressively gloomy depths. You see, Nar Mattaru are from Chile and I’ve found that Chilean blackened death metallers simply… Continue Reading →
The accompanying promotional information reads like a novel and basically tells us that this Chilean band play black metal of the bestial and occult variety as they see fit to purge our souls with blackened monstrosities in the form of… Continue Reading →
