What’s that? A Swedish death metal band, releasing their third album you say? A band which I haven’t come across before?! Egads! Thus, I approached ‘Relics of Sulphur Salvation’ with all the trepidation of a starved puppy to an over-filled… Continue Reading →
Just by hitting ‘play’ and listening to the first (and title) track come tearing out of your speakers like a scalded cat, you know you’re in for a treat….. especially if you’re a fan of old school Swedeath. Gothenburg’s Miasmal… Continue Reading →
Sweden’s Puteraeon are back once again with another fine slice of old school death metal, laced with lyrical Lovecraft worship. This band are one of the busiest and hardest working bands I have come across in a long time. Since… Continue Reading →
