The Pendulum EP is a group of tracks that didn’t quite make the cut for the last Candlemass album The Door To Doom released last year. Six tracks in all, 3 being short musical pieces and 3 being doom-laden metal of high quality. In fact, the songs here would probably be first picks for most […]

Many times when I have a few albums to listen too and write reviews on, I’ll be honest, it’s the album cover or pictures that accompany it that make me choose which I listen to first.

Another is through recommendations of friends. So, when a friend asked me to look into a band called The Generations Army I thought, “what the hell?”. […]

Dropping on August 24, 2018, via Cacophone Records, The Erotics deliver six songs on this slab of wax. Basically, I have never heard of The Erotics before.
