We focus on reviewing black metal we find interesting & want to share with the community. You submit your promo’s to us, and we will give them a listen, as you can understand, we get many submissions, and it’s impossible to review all the albums. But we do appreciate the effort of all the albums, and we do listen to all of them.
If you have music you would like us to review, see contact details here.
