A big plus that has always been for me when it comes to sludge metal is simply how fucking filthy it can be at times. Sometimes we get a calculated chaos from the likes of Lord Dying, unique experiences from … Continue reading Aseethe / Snow Burial – split
Coming across some hard rock recently has left me high and dry more than anything, sadly. The style has never really stood out without the help of riffs coming into play in order to carry an album forward. I felt … Continue reading ASG – Survive Sunrise
