SIN DNA - Afterlife

2012-05-04 / Serge / Reads: 3026

It is not an album from the-best-ones category I have listened to so far. I think it’s also hard to classify it as a good one. It doesn’t mean that it is bad and poor. I think calling it average would be most appropriate. But let’s start from the beginning....
