The Committee – Memorandum Occultus
After playing their first full length ‘Power Through Unity’ uncountable times. After three long years, the wait is finally over. And with ‘Memorandum Occultus’, The Committee has once again delivered a very strong album. If there even was progress to be made, they made it. The production of this album appears to be much more […]

The Great Old Ones – EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy
By Laetitia Novels and metal have always gone hand in hand, especially those of dark, intruiging tales. Tolkien’s legacy inspired dozens of bands, some outstanding (like Summoning), others to a cheap elf-in-the-woods trick.
