ALBUM REVIEW: Heads For The Dead – The Great Conjuration

Posted on by

 

Horror and death metal is just as much comfort food for me as peanut butter and jelly is for others. It just goes so well together, that it’s impossible not to do the brutal combination. Heads For The Dead have crept back out from their catacombs to deliver their blood and a venom-soaked third full-length album, The Great Conjuration (Transcending Obscurity).Continue reading →

Now, this budding band is back with their sophomore record, Deserted (Relapse Records) and their magnetic extremes have reached a new level of exceptional. Continue reading →

If you already know the drill or aren’t interested in this part please feel free to scroll on through.Continue reading →
