Last Agony - The Imminent Slaughter
03 May 2021 - Thorsten
Blackened-HardcoreEighteen Minutes. Usually the length of either one longtrack (“Altars of Nothingness” by Rorcal & Earthflesh) or the length of a classic hardcore punk record (18 minutes = 2/3 Suffer by Bad Religion) or as in this case somewhere in between. The Imminent Slaughter is very straightforward in its attitude, but also very gritty in its sound.

Dirge - Vanishing Point
29 Apr 2021 - Thorsten
Post-MetalRetrospectives are a rather difficult thing, because many fans have their own idea of how to honor their favorite band and often those notions culminate in highly differing expectations which might not be fulfilled.
