Leif Edling has been a very busy chap recently. As Candlemass fans hope for new material other than just an EP from the new Leven-fronted Candlemass Mk XVIII (or something like…), Edling has busied himself with Avatarium – culminating in… Continue Reading →
If you are unfamiliar with Pelander, that’s nothing to be worried about, seeing as it is the first release by Magnus Pelander, Witchcraft mainstay, under his own moniker, and a definite change from his normal doom tinged heavy rock releases…. Continue Reading →
Beastmaker are from Fresno California but from the opening toll of an ominous bell you just know that they really wanna be from the West midlands 40 years ago. Lusus Naturae is Latin for freak nature. This is not freakish… Continue Reading →
