Artist: AVKRVST Album Title: The Approbation Label: InsideOut Music Date of Release: 16 June 2023 OK, I’m going to start this review by tackling the elephant in the room at the outset: the name of the band.

Dieth – To Hell And Back – Album Review
Artist: Dieth Album Title: To Hell And Back Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 2 June 2023 When a band is comprised of bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), ex-Decapitated drummer Michał Łysejko, and vocalist/guitarist Guilherme Miranda previously of Entombed A.D. fame, I’d be a silly man to not at least check out their musical offering. The Continue Reading »

The Ocean – Holocene – Album Review
Artist: The Ocean Album Title: Holocene Label: Pelagic Records Date of Release: 19th May 2023 I’m nothing if not stubborn.
