For that matter the violence dealt on the full-length d...September 6, 2011

Everything
That name — AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN — never sounds any less uncomfortable to the ears, no matter how many albums of harsh, experimental beauty the Dutchmen release. Debut album "Lost" was one that could in fact sound harsh (the black metal aspects) and beautiful (the stunning, keyboard washe...September 6, 2011

An aggressive performance coupled with bold so...August 9, 2011
