I do like bands that have some meaning behind their monikers which this Belgian band has with their band name. According to Guillaume Cazalet aka CZLT, it is a transference from Greco-Egyptian Hermeticism as Pisces Aries. In fact if you… Continue Reading →
Once again I find myself exploring the darker depths of black metal’s underbelly, and finding its cold, claustrophobic embrace familiar and comforting. This month’s offering comes from Voidmilker, a name which will be new to most, as this is their… Continue Reading →
This is the Italian band with this moniker as I know there are a few others knocking about as the four-piece unleash their fifth and utterly barbaric new album. The intense opening intro ‘Mortem Aeternam’ sets the scene superbly, building… Continue Reading →
