Artist: Graveworm Album Title: Killing Innocence Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 28 April 2023  I first discovered Graveworm via their 2003 album, ‘Engraved In Black’.

Artist: Atavistia Album Title: Cosmic Warfare Label: Independent Release Date of Release: 21 April 2023 Sometimes, the name of an album is just perfect. I mean utterly perfect. It’s rare, but when it happens, it can be a cool thing. Like ‘Cosmic Warfare’, the new album from Atavistia. Listening to this record is literally like  Continue Reading »

Artist: Saint Deamon Album Title: League Of The Serpent Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 21 April 2023 Here’s a band that I know almost nothing about, other than their name.
