Heavy metal from Mongolia? It wasn’t exactly common in the history of rock and metal. The band that put the country on the metal map was The HU.

A Reminder is a grade-A album—at least if you go by its title and the songs themselves. A Reminder is the third album from the guys from Tel Aviv, and it’s not just the letter “A” that gets the pole position in the album title; all 13 songs begin with an “A” as well. It’s... Continue Reading →
