Wrekmeister Harmonies ~ You’ve Always Meant So Much To Me
All things truly wicked start from an innocence. – E. Hemingway, A Moveable Feast Anyone diving into black metal for the first time cannot tread lightly. Casual fans don’t exist. The world is bound by bleak sounds and strong brotherhood,

The Big Ship ~ A Circle Is Forever
When two review sites approach the same album from different angles, their opinions can be quite divergent. Such is the case with A Circle Is Forever, which starts with the words, “I fell across a rabbit, I fell across a rabbit,

Antarte ~ Olio su tela
It’s a good thing we listen to more than a single track before deciding on a review, because Olio su tela (Oil on Canvas) begins with acoustic guitar and clear, romantic vocals: not our sort of album at all. But by the end of
