Last week was definitely A WEEK. But, it’s Monday which means time for a refresh with fresh views and fresh thoughts. It also means a fresh batch of new metal which is always a good thing especially when you’ve got absolute bruisers from both Nile and Demiser in the same week!! Beyond that, we’ve got Vomitrot and Morgue Terror who make me think of Halloween due to their heavy handed horror themes and that’s always a good thing, always. Plus, we’ve got several more to peruse in this list and thankfully this list is longer than the last handful so take that as a score. Or not. Up to you. Anyway, let’s do it…see you here throughout the week.
