Mushroom Cloud, a trio hailing from Aarhus, Denmark, comprises of founding members Dmitriy Mukhamedov on guitars and Simon Kristensen on the drums with vocalist Morten Thoft Langerhuus joining the band a year into their existence. Style-wise they are a thrashy… Continue Reading →
Denmark has had its fair share of death metal bands over the years, but none of which have really risen to the heights of their Swedish (or even Norwegian, in my opinion) brethren. OK, Invocator were great, as were Iniquity… Continue Reading →
I don’t know where the sun that’s mentioned in the title of this album is supposed to be. Given that Ajuna put forward a description of it as “psychotically atmospheric”, I think there’s an irony. Black, epic, noisy and dark… Continue Reading →

Sit back and think about it, we all love certain genres of music especially when it comes to writing album reviews about them and generally our knowledge of certain genres is far more expansive than others. However being tested and… Continue Reading →
