3 years since their last album, Benighted are back with a new guitarist in the form of Adrien Guérin and now departed bassist Eric Lombard on their seventh full length release. I should say that their style remains rather unchanged… Continue Reading →
French metal acts have a tendency to twist and distort your view of how a metal style should sound and for the most part this debut sits safely in the realms of modern technical death metal but initially on “LFDY”… Continue Reading →
One look at the cover and logo style of this French act and most of you would discard this immediately as deathcore but as the saying goes with the book and cover and all that, you’d be wrong like I… Continue Reading →
Ah French band The Negation are against ‘bleating sheep’ and the ‘weak and ignorant’ who use the likes of religion as a crux. We have that in common then and it is that annoying time of year when everyone is… Continue Reading →
