I am familiar with this band and their two previous albums prior to this EP, and can say from past experience that they leave no stone unturned. Both were hard, fast, menacing and punishing but in a way that as… Continue Reading →
My final bit of cassette cacophony for the moment is this from Polish/Finnish based raw black metal band Throat. It comprises their debut 2020 demo ‘New Flesh Nectar’ and this year’s EP Blood Exaltation. So to be honest I thought… Continue Reading →
