💀Bringing down the mood since June 2024💀

All things dark and heavy in the world of Metal

Each week I bring you the best new and old Death, Doom, Thrash, Gothic & Traditional Heavy Metal, plus the odd bit of Metalcore or whatever catches my attention. We dig deep into the vaults for the ‘Blast From the Past’, plus I’ll look out for some hot new releases.
