Bonded - Into Blackness (Album Review) Nov. 11, 2021

Into Blackness
by Bonded

Bonded was formed a few years back by ex-members of Suicidal Angels and Sodom which set some high expectations for their debut full-length Rest in Violence in 2020.

For me they served ...

Bleed the Future

Knife - Knife (Album Review) Oct. 19, 2021

Knife
by Knife

Its rather surprising that there arent more metal bands that have used the name Knife, but these Germans are more than happy to make up for lost time with a sound that could have been ripped straight out of the 80s.
