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, […]
My first encounter with Long Distance Calling was back in 2011, when the guest appearance from Armoured Saint / ex-Anthrax singer John Bush was what attracted my attention. Luckily the self-titled album showed that there […]
