As you know I adore the gore, but there’s more to me than that. A good summary of my relationship Death Metal actually would be the book Rotting Ways To Misery: The History Of Finnish Death Metal. Many of the… Continue Reading →
Named for the fourth track from 2014s incredible “Memoria Vetusta III; Saturnian Poetry” album, Vindsvals latest spin-off from the Blut Aus Nord mothership sees him take the organic nature of the Memoria Vetusta trilogy forward, much in the same way… Continue Reading →
Listening to Akhyls is like clenching your teeth in the face of a howling ice storm. I mean it. After the rumbling, oddly unsettling intro ‘Somniloquy’ simply crashes over you, pulling you down into the storm of some truly harrowing… Continue Reading →
