Slumbering Sun – The Ever-Living Fire Review

March 19, 2023December 28, 2023 Reviewed by Scuttlegoat No comments

Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags Review

February 17, 2023December 20, 2023 Reviewed by Cosmo No comments

Hellripper’s got a new one out, and Cosmo is hoping that he doesn’t fulfill the plight of Icarus and crash into the sea with failed expectations. There’s always a certain level of expectation going into a new album from a beloved band. Let’s hope this doesn’t cause a case of premature eblackulation.
