Vibrant – Trying To Survive (S/R)

As 2022 turned to 2023, doubtless there were any number of resolutions made to turn over a new leaf, start new ways, and try new things. Now that it is several weeks into the new year, many of those resolutions… Continue Reading →

Mantar – Pain Is Forever and This Is the End (Metal Blade)

As with many of the bands that lay themselves bare on the operating table of criticism, many are completely unknown to me before I wield my blunted, dirty, rusty medical accoutrements in a botched operation of critical prose, that is… Continue Reading →
