Pagan Megalith is a not a new band, but if we think that in 13 years of activity (with 6 years of hiatus) they have released only 2 albums, we might consider them a young band. But what makes this group really special are the skills and the musicianship of its members. On one hand... Continue Reading →

Rotheads – Unfazed by Death demo 2016 AB
One of the best demos I've listened to lately comes from Romania. Death metal from the grave, with a creepy feeling, that's how I would describe this very interesting and addictive release.
