Controlled Collapse - Things Come To Pass

2011-03-27 / murd / Reads: 8386

Our very own, dark independent scene has been developing highly exemplarily, with new projects in blossom, equalling the music standards unoficially set by the Western classics, or even surpassing them. While enumerating Polish groups that have contributed to this status quo, by no means can one omit Controlled Collapse -...

Spiritual Front - Rotten Roma Casino

2011-03-24 / Scather / Reads: 6923

In overwhelming majority, regardless of whether it is a deliberate act or accidental, pop has a property to gather all possible pathological phenomena in the music.

Nachtmahr - Semper Fidelis

I fell in love with Nachtmahr after seeing them play at Infest 2010 and very very happily seeing them again in February. I had always been a fan of L’Âme Immortelle so it was rather refreshing to hear something new from Thomas Rainer. Joined on stage by his first Lieutenant...
