This is the second album by the Greek Sextet hailing from Athens. Their style of melodic doom-death if very well delivered and transitions seamlessly from full on mellow melodies to extremely heavy death metal blasts and lengthy songs that merge… Continue Reading →
Well, it may just be my own sense of stereotyping, but the one place I didn’t expect to get crushing death/doom from was Melbourne, Australia. I of course know that Australia has a proud history of pure heavy metal and… Continue Reading →
Justin DeTore (Vestal Claret, Solemn Lament) and Derrick Vella, (Tomb Mold, Outer Heaven) known collectively as Dream Unending, have released their sophomoric album ‘Song of Salvation’ which has just been released on all formats by US label 20 Buck Spin…. Continue Reading →
Ah, another ‘band I’ve been aware of but not really engaged with’ time. Fear and Trembling (so says Google) and apparently pagan black metal. My experience of Trollzorn bands is that they dont tend to sign yer actual bestial bm… Continue Reading →
