Bulldozing Bastard do exact what their name would suggest, that being kicking your doors in, stinking you out with B.O., stale beer and fags, incessantly whipping their lank hair in your face, leaving you covered in sputum after generally rocking… Continue Reading →
If you dig deep enough amongst the swathes of generic, identikit black metal bands out there in the world, occasionally you come across a rare treat; a truly original band. These obscure, underground veterans from Northern Italy have been ploughing… Continue Reading →
Having had a taster of what these guys from Birmingham could do with their previous demo ‘Hate Legions Ride!’ right here on Ave Noctum earlier this year, I was more than happy to see their debut full length appear on… Continue Reading →
