reviews for albums that I consider metal
There has been a void in my music habits ever since the separation of Howls of Ebb happened in all of its tragedy, and if you know anything of me, you know that their menacing and hypnotic approach to death … Continue reading Cryptae – Vestigal
There are some things that somehow never seem to get old no matter how many times you’ve heard it and no matter how many different takes of it you’ve seen done. Easily, death metal is one of them for me … Continue reading Inert – Vermin
