Review: Massgrav – Napalm Ofver Stureplan CD
Massgrav Napalm Ofver Stureplan CD Sound Pollution Now here’s a record that’s right up my fuckin’ alley. These fat Swedish drunks wear their influences proudly on their sleeves.

Review: Lost Soul – Chaostream
Lost Soul Chaostream Earache Records By the horns of Satan, I had to listen to this album twice just to make sure it was as insanely kick ass as I first thought it was! INDEED it was! When you hear Lost Soul, you will KNOW that you have been brutalized and punished to the
