Master Musicians Of Bukkake – Far West
From the savage burst of noise that opens ‘White Mountain’, slowly draining down into a constant drum beat and gradual instrumentation, to the twinkling, fairy light synths that close ‘Circular Ruins’ this group of Seattle experimentalists do their utmost to confuse, delight and assault the listener with their latest album.Continue reading
Lamb Of God And Sylosis Live At Wolverhampton Civic Hall, Wolverhampton UK
Crammed into one of the biggest venues ever to hold a club show you can’t help but notice that metalheads are a foul mouthed bunch.
