Today Is the Day – No Good to Anyone (Review)

Today Is the Day - No Good to AnyoneThis is the eleventh album from US unconventional experimental metal band Today Is the Day.

Teeth – The Curse of Entropy (Review)

Teeth - The Curse of EntropyTeeth are a death metal/grindcore band from the US, and this is their second album.

A new Teeth album! I’ve been following this band ever since their debut album Unremittance was unleashed in 2014. After that, we had their very tasty split with Fister, and then the downright delicious split with Barghest. Unlike the latter, with Continue reading “Teeth – The Curse of Entropy (Review)”
