This German death metal machine celebrate 20 years of existence with this effort ‘Prey For Your Gods’, a remarkable feat in this day and age but also a travesty when you hear bands that are as good as this laying… Continue Reading →
Dark Melancholic Metal from Germany – and the band’s debut no less! It wasn’t so long ago that Finland had the monopoly on Dark Metal, and sure the opening track does show that Embercrow have indeed, at some point, been… Continue Reading →
Long gone are the days when one man metal projects languished in obscurity and failed to meet the mark, with overbearing scratchy vocals drowned in reverb while a drum machine ran riot in the background. Since Vice’s airing of ‘One… Continue Reading →
