Having musically overdosed by the pharmaceutically enhanced Drug Honkey I noted that 2 members of that particular group are helping line up the drawers in the autopsy room as Morgue Supplier. In actual fact the roots of this group go… Continue Reading →
We face a musical crisis in this world, and that crisis is atmospheric music, whether it be the ambient works of Brian Eno or the Post-Rock mastery of Godspeed You! Black Emperor it’s something which is a massive part of… Continue Reading →
Bryan Eckermann wasn’t a name that was known to me until this came along. Billed as melodeath / black metal, “Plague Bringers” is listed as being for fans of, amongst others, Arch Enemy, Old Mans Child, Hypocrisy, Death, King Diamond,… Continue Reading →
