NAG – Nagged To Death (Fysisk Format)

Can’t complain, this is the right way to get ‘nagged to death’ especially when the means of doing so is by delivering us a nice slab of vinyl. It was a timely arrival too as I have been reading A… Continue Reading →

Embryonic Cells – Horizon (Apathia)

Hailing from France Embryonic Cells have been spreading darkness since 1994. It took them 13 years to release an album. Horizon is their fourth album since 2007 and is actually a lot of fun. This is no bleak , orange… Continue Reading →

Moanaa- Descent (S/R)

Descent has been out a while. Since September 2014 so I can only guess that this is a re-release. Bloody good thing to as it gives this Polish quintet a second crack of the whip, which they thoroughly deserve. Descent… Continue Reading →

Tau Cross – S/T (Relapse)

It was a time of great jubilation when Amebix arose once more from the ashes in 2008. Those of us in the know remembering their might from the cold war, crust punk days saluted them and many others were quick… Continue Reading →
