Is there anywhere on earth more Slam that Texas? No, no there isn’t, Devourment, Viral Load, Putrid Womb, Disfigured I could go on, it’s the home of purist Slam filth and I love it. It’s far flung from the lesser… Continue Reading →
I have been waiting for this for a while, and just as I start to write the tape arrives from the band themselves with the original artwork. The release under review here from Gates of Hell Records has a different,… Continue Reading →
