They’ve done it again.
Review: Negură Bunget – Zău
An emotional swansong from Romanian black metal giants.

The gods of heavy metal keep on giving this year, this time with stoner vibes.
Review: Sculptured – The Liminal Phase
I cannot think of a better example of a “hit or miss” album than this. Fans of Katatonia and Agalloch should check this one out.

Gather ‘round, children, gather ‘round! Grandpa Zach will tuck you into bed and tell you a tale of his past.
