When it comes to funeral doom, things are pretty easy, the way I see it: you either love it or hate it, there is no in-between. This extreme musical genre has the advantage that it can only be enjoyed (strange way to put it) when you are in certain moods, that way you can fully... Continue Reading →

Sektarism – La Mort de L’Infidèle album review June 2017 AB
Many years ago, a Swedish band issued a bold statement that their music was the "audial essence of pure evil".
