I have to admit something here, and it doesn’t do my already tenuous ‘metal’ credibility any good, that for a band that have been around since the mid to late 80’s, Nunslaughter are a band I have never…. ever heard… Continue Reading →
Watch out, there’s an unspeakable multidimensional being about, as blackened metal occultists Qrixkuor press the ‘downward spiral’ button on the controls and into the gnostic depths of hopeless but glorious terror in this first full length. After a couple of… Continue Reading →
Debut EP from this Spanish trio of death metallers. And all apparently done ‘under their own will without paying attention to any current underground/mass media trends or what nowadays is referred to as cult’. Which frankly is pretty much what… Continue Reading →
A first listen to this band for me, though it would appear that the Swedish death metal crew have been about since 2006, with this being their third full length album. It would also appear that the lads have had… Continue Reading →
