I had forgotten that I covered the last album by this French outfit ‘Summoning The Putrid’ a couple of years ago. That’s hardly surprising when you think of just how many “Irons” there are in the heavy metal fire; let’s… Continue Reading →
A second album from German chainsaw death metallers Nightbearer following on very nicely from their excellent debut full length ‘Tales Of Sorcery And Death’ released in 2019. Whether you would say there is a progression on their sophomore is down… Continue Reading →
