I am familiar with this band and their two previous albums prior to this EP, and can say from past experience that they leave no stone unturned. Both were hard, fast, menacing and punishing but in a way that as… Continue Reading →
Not much info seems to be available on this new project although we are informed it is an international entity. The rather long word of their name seems to translate to “Slur” and narratively here we are dealing with themes… Continue Reading →
In order to get to what you are currently reading you’ll likely have noticed the banner for Ave Noctum, declaring as it does its dedication to “Extreme and Atmospheric” music. Well, Dee Calhoun, or ‘Screaming Mad Dee’ if you will,… Continue Reading →
I first got dragged into the world of UK band Forlorn Hope via the live arena (always a good sign) and their thoroughly enjoyable live performances. Sadly being ‘between live drummers’ those are currently curtailed but following on from their… Continue Reading →
