CD review DARKTHRONE ‘Old Star’
(9/10) Darkthrone, that's Fenriz and Nocturno Culto, both a well attuned duo in harsh Black Metal.

As if there would be no tomorrow that duo... Continue Reading →

(9/10) Exactly four years ago, I had the chance to visit Jyvaskyla in Finland, which is a smaller city North of Helsinki.
