Tag Sweden
Nachtzeit, the man behind Lustre, clearly has plenty to say. Since 2008, he has expressed his nature-inspired visions through four albums and four EPs. The fourth album “Wonder” and EP “A Spark of Times of Old” share similar ambient qualities…. Continue Reading →
With so many bands going for the numerical album title I cannot think of any that have included a ½? I’m sure there are some out there and somebody will write in but there is a reason behind Swedish band… Continue Reading →
‘Fuck You, Fucking Whore’ is as to the point as you need from these gutter trash death metal purveyors, anyone who has had the pleasure with their earlier releases will know what to expect. This is rather filthy, ha, I… Continue Reading →
