ALBUM REVIEW: Judiciary – Flesh + Blood

ALBUM REVIEW: Liv Sin – KaliYuga
Sweden’s Liv Jagrell has proven she is a fitting heavy metal ambassador for this or any time, honoring both the rich history of the genre, or more modern styles with her raspy, enthusiastic ease.

And there are some absolute corkers, here. 75 of them, to be exact…
