Synthwave a genre built on cliches and nostalgia wearing its Hawaiian shirt and raybans with pride as it shifts the gear down in a Testarossa Spider and heads for the sunset. By this stage much of the music loving world have decided whether it is… Continue Reading →
I gotta say I had never heard of Tristwood. These Austrian Industrial Black metalheads have flown under my radar since their inception at the start of the Millennium. There has been a bit of to and fro for them but… Continue Reading →
Back in the early 90s I was kind of isolated, walled in by the twin guard dogs of little if any money and pernicious mental health issues. Whilst I maintained a toe hold in my constant metal world, for reasons… Continue Reading →
