Taz Danozoglou has a great pedigree and it surprised me that he seemed to be musically quiet for so long. Obviously he is known as a renowned tattooist and his time in Electric Wizard but I really really dug Satan’s Wrath whose “Galloping Blasphemy“… Continue Reading →
Midnight is the dark offspring of one man – Athenar from Cleveland Ohio. Over the last 19 years he has been combining speed metal, D-Beat and Black Metal into a hellish hybrid that has kept many a metal head and punk happy. Let There Be Witchery… Continue Reading →
A debut album from this revolting, regal French musician going by the name of Baurus. His debut EP ‘Vile’ of a couple of years ago may have passed you by but if not, you would no doubt have been struck… Continue Reading →
This is a debut release from Finland (there are other bands of the band name), that’s raw and heralds the early North East England NWoBHM scene in approach and production. Take a pinch of Avenger (perhaps a nod to the… Continue Reading →
