Svart Crown – Witnessing The Fall Review
Jay: “Olaf, metal!” Jay: “That’s his fucking metal face.” Hipsters and “yeah bro, metal is cool”-types the world over love that scene. Why? Because fake Russian dudes are funny; because the movie is in black …

Sacrilegious Impalement – Cultus Nex Review
Originally written by Erik Thomas I vaguely remember receiving this Finnish black metal act’s self-titled demo a couple of years ago, but I never got around to reviewing it, in part put off by the …
