Little breaks can be a good thing, for example I am now back from a year long hiatus from reviewing. Rather interestingly this first review I have chosen is from Master who themselves have had a bit of a break… Continue Reading →
It’s a cold, grim and rainy day. What I need to perk things right up is some Swedish Grindcore with a dirty dose of death metal added. Lurching into life in 2017 this is the third release and second full length effort from the… Continue Reading →
There’s no stopping Hungarian groove thrashers Ektomorf even if Covid left founding member Zoltàn Farkas full of “pain, hate, anger and disappointment at ungrateful people.” What else was he going to do but turn it all into an angry album?… Continue Reading →
Like the rise and fall of the sun, leaves that fall from the trees in the autumn and grow back in the spring, Max Cavalera will release new music at least four times a year. Belying his age (fifty-four, although… Continue Reading →
