ALBUM REVIEW: Daath – The Deceivers

Posted on by

CONCERT REVIEW: Rivers of Nihil – Fallujah – Allegeaon Live at The Asylum, Birmingham

Posted on by

 

Originally set to feature a very different line-up, the Faces of Death Tour was forced to undergo an almost complete overhaul a few months ago when, for a variety of reasons, Archspire, Black Crown Initiate and To The Grave were all forced to withdraw.

Barely a week went by without at least one brain-melting addition to the pile of bodies…Continue reading →
