This is probably the single-most impressive album that I have received in all the time that I have had the pleasure of working for Metal Revolution. As far as I know, none of my colleagues […]
Them is a so-called metal super group from USA. Usually, I’m not the biggest fan of a super groups but this one sure has some potential. Stellar musicians and members of Suffocation, Symphony X, Lanfear, […]
