Grave Risk – Mindkiller

December 15, 2024December 8, 2024 Vinterd

Vil Murra – Grandes Exitos

June 6, 2018 Vinterd

 There aren’t many cases of punk where I can really gravitate towards an album while agreeing with it completely and not feeling there’s more to be desired. More times than not, the punk molds with thrash to become a tasteful … Continue reading Vil Murra – Grandes Exitos

Nadimac – Besnilo

June 18, 2017June 19, 2017 Vinterd
