Wayfarer are a US black metal band and this is their third album.
In my humble opinion Wayfarer are one of the very best when it comes to atmospheric black metal. Both their debut album Children of the Iron Age and its successor Old Souls were stunning pieces of blackened art. Continue reading “Wayfarer – World’s Blood (Review)”
