Soilwork march on. 11 albums, umpteen singles, a few split albums and now a 4th EP is a pretty good haul for around 24 years of toil. The band’s line-up looks the same as for the last album “Verkligheten” (2019),… Continue Reading →
Swedish black metallers Serpents have decided to remain anonymous, with the trio in the ranks going by the names of S (drums), O (guitars, bass) and H (vocals) though I’m sure the more die-hard fans out there may know who… Continue Reading →
