Category VI – Firecry (Moribund)

So, apparently I am in power metal land with this third album from Canadian metallers Category VI but I’m a little unsure about that if I’m honest. Still, that’s for later. Just to add here that I had no previous… Continue Reading →

Witchunter – Metal Dream (Dying Victims)
