Brontide Are Back With New Album
If you missed Brontide’s intense, jangly, instrumental debut, San Souci packed with math-madness and some quiet bits, then catch up. They’re about to release their new album, ‘Artery’, and it’ll probably be awesome too. Due for release on 30th June Pink Mist, the band have released this little teaser.

Artist Spotlight: Totem Skin
Dark, doomy and blisteringly hardcore at times, Sweden’s Totem Skin are a hidden nugget of brilliance lurking in the gloam of their own tunes.

Especially when you come to the final track, the … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Totem Skin
