Can you imagine being able to spew up liquid fire? That would be fantastic really although you would have to be so careful if you were going out on the piss. It’s one thing getting barred from the pub but… Continue Reading →
Storming out of the growing catalogue of kick arse bands signed to the ever more impressive Relapse label is this latest EP from Black Tusk, a power trio very much in the vein of High On Fire hailing from Savannah,… Continue Reading →
