Hiding From The World
Well-respected in prog metal circles but largely under the mainstream radar, despite tenures on a couple of big labels, COMMUNIC have been one of Norway's best-kept secrets for a long time.

Expelled Into The Unknown Depths Of The Unfathomable
As observant fans of heavy music may know, underground metal bands often try to evoke the sound of the abyss yawning open. Death, despair, depravity and disgust are all central to the extreme metal way of things, but it's increasingly difficult to be startled or truly moved, desensitized as we are t...November 4, 2020

Under A Godless Veil
Get ready to swoon. Get ready to shed a tear. DRACONIAN have created a gorgeous, mournful masterpiece here.
