Beware The Circling Fin

Black Faith Inquisition

I really struggled with this one.

Commercially, the 2006 release might have been a success, but that element of b...

Death Rituals

For as many years as I've written about SIX FEET UNDER, the comments have always been the same: "They suck balls!" or "They rule!" Eight studio albums in (not counting live releases and the "Graveyard Classics" series) and SIX FEET UNDER are still going strong. I'll admit that I was a bigger fan for...
