Kin Beneath Chorus – Invia (Review)
This is the second album from Greek metal band Kin Beneath Chorus.
This is modern death metal with both metalcore and deathcore influences. Add to this a melodic delivery and atmospheric elements, and you have an album that succeeds in having a firm emotive base to its heart of aggression. Continue reading “Kin Beneath Chorus – Invia (Review)”
