Logged more miles this weekend AND went to see the new Ghost flick Rite Here Rite Now. I won’t spoil it for anyone but it was good if you’re a Ghost fan, had no idea Papa was slapstick funny… Alright then, moving on to the new release albums for this week which kicks off with some damn hefty death metal from 200 Stab Wounds, then some tasty horror infused death metal from Necronomicon Ex Mortis (9C Top Brass is high in this one, just FYI), Wraith get the speed metal itch scratched, then we round out the opening slots with some classic black metal from Limbonic Art. Last, but definitely not least, are the remainder of releases hiding out in the list below, many of which you need to check out. So, go do that and we’ll see you here throughout the week.
