Samael – Solar Soul – Review

July 27, 2007

Paradise Lost – In Requiem – Review

July 27, 2007

Sung and recorded better than a Sentenced album, but every time the verse starts, you’re bored. Stodgy, oppressive songs which, in the end, aren’t that heavy.

Dali’s Llama – Chorata – Review

July 27, 2007

Chugging, tense rock with a non-denominational punk ethic curling under hardened boogie cum cock rock guitars/rhythms from a gritty-eyed libertarian position.

The Queers – Munki Brain – Review

July 22, 2007

July 20, 2007
