Heavy as a heavy thing – that is the best way to describe Thou from Baton Rouge. They steamrollered into my ears during the cursed pandemic with their magnificent collaboration project “May Our Chambers Be Full”. The question I had at… Continue Reading →
High On Fire really don’t need much introduction these days. The band who have been blasting their riffs for the past 25+ years have continually gone from strength to strength with every release they have put out and they’ve always… Continue Reading →
