The Dreaming Prince In Ecstasy

LAMP OF MURMUUR's mysterious figurehead M. has been making steady progress along the contemporary black metal spectrum.

They were one of the genre's most influential bands, and an eternal benchmark for t...

Even metalheads have a softer side, and when they choose to display it, an artist such as LOVE IS NOISE should offer some reverie.
