Before I wore eyeliner. Before I wore upside down cross earrings to Scouts church parade. Before the skulls, the long hair, the leather jackets, the pretending to worship Satan and the various hair dye jobs, (no wonder I am bald) and… Continue Reading →
As Ave Noctum’s old git in residence and self-professed Thotch-head, when amongst the normal deliveries of satanic screams and unreadable band logos a hint of Prog arrives at the editor’s dungeon abode, and that’s just Prog, not Prog-Metal, it is… Continue Reading →
Well, I was glad that this turned up with some extensive liner notes as it is a baffling enough listen in its own right before even getting to the cast list involved. In Lingua Mortua are a collective essentially put… Continue Reading →
