The Ocean – Anthropocentric Review
The Ocean is back with its follow up to this year’s Heliocentric, an album that may have surprised the lot of you due to its emphasis on the more orchestral side of the band as …
Acid Bath – Paegan Terrorism Tactics (Reissue) Review
Pages have been written about the Nola scene throughout the years: how its sludgy misanthropy captures the gritty essence of its hometown in filth-encrusted fashion; how its drug-addled violence and blues-tinted roots sum up the …
