Having been around since 2006, Harms Way seem to have bypassed me in much the same way as life seems to do these days, just in the outer reaches of my peripheral vision, things happen, birds swoop, cars drive by,… Continue Reading →
2020, the year of both pandemic and the metal cover album. Seven months in and we’ve already seen grunge cover albums from both Thou and MANTAR, now comes something a little more unconventional from Virginia’s most devastatingly heavy amalgamation of… Continue Reading →
Now that the naming rights have been sorted out, Harley Flanagan and Rocky George (many should know these names!) come at you with a new release which features the tracks from their two recent EP’s, namely ‘Don’t Give In’ and… Continue Reading →
