I want you to imagine a band that is the reason the term “genre-bending” is a thing. I’m sure we’ve all got at least one we can think of. Got it? Magnificent. Now, I want to you get ready to … Continue reading Candiria – While They Were Sleeping
A lot of times when a band gets described as extreme metal I get a little excited because that can mean the album has a sound of any sort that could be anyone’s guess. But then following it by saying … Continue reading Jinjer – King of Everything
Aktaion wasted no time when putting out their sophomore album without a doubt as their debut, “Throne”, came out not even a year ago if memory serves well. That was a solid release, but showed the band had plenty of … Continue reading Aktaion – The Parade of Nature
