This album by French black metal band Gorgon is, it seems, their follow up to their 2019 comeback album. I’m not so much embarrassed I missed that, but that the name rings no bells with me at all. On the… Continue Reading →
There are some bands that you just instantly fall in love with, such is the case for me and Impaled Nazarene. I heard their debut album Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz… pretty early on in my Extreme Metal journey. It… Continue Reading →
I remember these Bergan based blacksters from 2017 debut album ‘Vi vet gud er en løgner’ and at the time of covering said there was not a huge amount known about them other than the fact guitarist Atyr had ties… Continue Reading →
