There’s a school of thought that a certain section of the metal community subscribe to that says “No Cronos, no Venom”. You will no doubt have experienced this way of thinking in the sentiments of the “No Dave, no Van… Continue Reading →
Not sure why we’re reviewing this as Evo clearly is a man who genuinely won’t give a fuck what I think (quite right too). Maybe the record company wants us to say nice things. Will I? We’ll… Evo, last name… Continue Reading →
This will be a short one. Nitrogods are German & sound (and look) like a Motorhead / ZZ Top covers band. Which of course, is not necessarily a bad thing. This is their third album of beer soaked, rock &… Continue Reading →
