SKÁLD – Huldufólk (Universal)

Anti-Clone – Human (S/R)

This nu-apocalyptic metal crew has, as they put it, come a long way since the Axe and Cleaver in Boston, Lincolnshire over 10 years ago. Doing time in pubs and clubs is character-building and helps to develop all bands, so… Continue Reading →

Division:Dark – Prophecy (Drakkar Entertainment)
