2015 sees Orange Goblin celebrate 20 years, and already they have announced a pretty special show at London’s Desertfest playing their classic ‘The Big Black’ in its entirety as well as doubtless a few special surprises. Yet, despite that, and… Continue Reading →
Formed in their native Mexico five years ago and currently residing in California, the barbarians of Funereus have been perfecting their craft with a few demos, EPs and splits, not to mention 2010’s debut album ‘Profane Rite of Morbid Glorification’…. Continue Reading →
Well as ‘Seduce Me Tonight’, the first track of this gnarly little album, hit me with all the subtlety of being punched by the Anti-Nowhere League’s logo powered by a Celtic Frost riff my first thought was “Midnight”. It’s not… Continue Reading →
