The Number Twelve Looks Like You incite elemental gods to war on their first release in a decade.

After almost two decades of silence, skramz-kings Jeromes Dream kick open their tomb with a brand-new full-length of brutal and beautiful tunes.
Album Review | GRYLLE | Les Grandes Compagnies

Album Review | Advent Varic | Tumulus Part I & II
Advent Varic is the soundscape to catastrophe; gloom, an ever-present and sobering effect.
