Rating: 6.3/10 Release: 24 June 2022 Label: Napalm Records Back when the review for Live in Tilburg came out over a year back, there was mention that Christopher Bowes acknowledged their new material was “terrible”.

Tim Trollgasm – ‘Frozen Realms in Eternal Mist II: The Endless Veil’ (2022)

Posted on 14 February 2022 by Michel14 February 2022

Rating: 5.3/10 Release: 3 January 2022 Label: Independent Before beginning this review, I encourage the reader to imagine what an ambient album released as a pet project by a streamer would sound like.

Engaging the Fomorian Horde?

Posted on 23 January 2022 by Michel11 November 2022

Interview with Rådarna

A few weeks ago we reached out to Rådarna whose debut release The Fomorian Horde was received exceedingly well by our staff. It was chosen the Best Debut Album of 2021. Here follows an interview with the band about the rumors of butchering magical creatures surrounding the band and some relevant band history which our eager readers might also find interesting.
