The Phoenix Throne

The only thing I remember about DEAD TO FALL's "Villainy and Virtue" (the Chicago band's second release) was that it barely left an impression on me.

Pro Patria Finlandia

With Easter upon us, what better time for a review of "Pro Patria Finlandia" by Finland's blaspheming blackened thrash punks? Nobody does it quite like IMPALED NAZARENE, do they?
