Destroyer 666 – Wildfire Review
It’s been seven years since Deströyer 666’s last full-length album, the somewhat underwhelming Defiance. In those seven years, the band essentially disintegrated, leaving only founder/guitarist/vocalist K.K. Warslut from that 2009 line-up. The band’s membership has never …

Khthoniik Cerviiks – SeroLogiikal Scars (Vertex Of Dementiia) Review
Way back in 2014, Germany’s Khthoniik Cerviiks released a demo that felt rather un-demo-y. Heptaëdrone was over 40 minutes of the kind of blistering, raw “black/death metal” that is very common on Iron Bonehead Productions, …
