You’re probably already thinking it, if you don’t already know that is, but yes I suspect this band’s name comes from the title of Archgoat’s 2006 album and is a bloody good band name too. There’s nothing like blasphemic controversy… Continue Reading →
The last time I reviewed an album from Lamp Of Murmuur, Heir Of Ecliptical Romanticism, I remarked that that their eschewing of most social media and online presences was not something to sneer at, much more a sign that they… Continue Reading →
