I can only assume anyone who is reading this review is likely to have heard of Germany’s own retro power trio Kadavar; if not, you must have been living under a stoner, badoom tish! Sorry, bad pun, but I couldn’t… Continue Reading →
Right that’s it, enough doom, gloom, death and destruction. I want something fun and jolly to listen to and review for a change. Perfect timing as the new album by German nutty melodic metal clan Equilibrium has recently landed in… Continue Reading →
