Well I have listened to this album every day for the last 10 or so. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining and it hasn’t been a chore in the slightest. It’s just that a work of this breadth and… Continue Reading →
This E.P from Stockholm’s The Vice is 4 tracks of Nightbreed style Goth rock with hints of metal. This trio layer on the atmosphere like the beer and sweat on the steps in the Slimelight (treacherous masonry that it is) …. Continue Reading →
I’ll start off by saying – I like this album. I am not sure if I like it for the same reasons that Sal Hellraiser wants me to. This is good fun Goth. He is marketing it as Deathwave but… Continue Reading →
