The beer capital of the world brews up an album worthy of its terroir. On the palate, harmonic changes, shred, and soaring vocals balance in this release.
Review: Whom Gods Destroy – Insanium

Bologna’s progressive metallers Inner Vitriol return to the scene with a new name and a fresh remaster of their heavy, haunting, and hallowed first full-length.
