This is a progressive melodic death metal band from Peru, ‘The Incomplete Man’ is a self-funded effort and the fruits of this bands labour are endless based on the quality of the material on offer. I say quality, as it… Continue Reading →
Billed as one of the first thrash metal bands to form in Poland way back in 1986 it certainly took Fanthrash a while before release of first album ‘Duality Of Things’ in 2011. 25 years must be some sort of… Continue Reading →
The Custodian don’t have much to say for themselves. I could just say “listen to this and decide for yourself” but that isn’t going to do anything. In any case, this is an album which I created a series of… Continue Reading →
