Greywalker - Le Cachot (EP Review) Aug. 4, 2021

Le Cachot
by Greywalker

Since early and mid-2000s metalcore was one of the first styles of heavy music I got into after the nu-metal explosion in the late 90s, mentioning that a band is trying to recapture this same sound is a great way to grab my attention. Thats exactly what happened with Pittsburghs Greywalker, who have...

Embers

Hexorcist - Evil Reaping Death (Album Review) July 27, 2021

Evil Reaping Death
by Hexorcist
