Since I first heard Bal-Sagoth I’ve been into Symphonic Extreme Metal. Particularly the more ridiculous side of it. Big over the top Power Metal style orchestration laying about with harsh vocals and goblin-like silliness has always appealed to me. In… Continue Reading →
I am assuming that this EP by the UK deathrash act is a stop-gap before an impending full length which I am certainly looking forward to hearing, if one is in the pipeline. I absolutely loved this bands last album… Continue Reading →
