Behemoth Post New Track on Myspace
So, Behemoth has posted a new track called “Ov Fire and the Void” on their Myspace page. This track is seriously awesome, and sounds like they’re doing a better job of avoiding sounding like Nile and instead they have a much more unique blackened death sound. I seriously can’t wait for this record now. Also, […]

Angry Metal Guy’s First Breakthrough
I was looking at my stats today and was surprised to see a site that I hadn’t been anticipating: an incoming link from Wikipedia.
