Posted on 22 December 2017 by Michel3 May 2021

By: Okan Rating: 8/10 Release: 1 November 2017 Label: SoundAge Productions My first encounter with Plemya was back in 2016 on Youtube.

Posted on 28 June 2017 by Michel5 May 2021

By: Okan Rating: 9.5/10 Release: 21 July 2017 Label: Nuclear Blast There are albums, which, one way or another amazes you in the end.

Posted on 31 January 2017 by Michel19 May 2021

By: Vinicius Rating: 5/10 Release: 10 March 2017 Label: Scarlet Records Nothing new under the sun… that’s is how I can summarize (in my modest opinion) the Atlas Pain’s debut album “What the Oak Left”. The band lack of identity was not expected (despite the boring album artwork). The Italians … Continue reading →

By: Vinicius Rating: 9.8/10 Release: 6 October 2016 Label: SoundAge Productions. Troll Bends Fir albums are always surprising and the new one Карьялали (Karjalali) is not different. The band keeps the amazing “beer folk” (as they call) style. “Karjalali” begin with ‘De-Da’ and this is probably the best album song. … Continue reading →
