Nope don’t get all excited those of you who like pantomime metal and bangs and explosions on stage, this is not the British NWOBHM Hell. It is a band like Amarok who they share this 2 track split album with… Continue Reading →
Doesn’t time fly? It was 2008 when I last laid hands on a Mustasch album, the compilation ‘Lowlife Highlights’, and since then they’ve fired out two new albums, one LP re-recording old tracks, a bunch of singles and EPs, as… Continue Reading →
Sometimes my masters at Ave Noctum towers send strange materials for me to review here at Spenny dungeons, and surely this is one such, a re-release of a 2011 demo EP, with added bonus track, all pending a 2014 LP… Continue Reading →
