(9/10) It's not always the superlatives that make an album special and standing out from the masses. It's not always about complexity, speed and bombastic sounds.

(9/10) The standard pattern for artwork of black metal releases includes a lot of black and white plus a moniker that can't be read due to a very unique typeface. A band that breaks this pattern is Devil Master from Philadelphia. The six-piece outfit released already a demo and an EP, entitled 'Inhabit the Corpse'.... Continue Reading →
