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? Fifteen years on and the boys still attack with the viciousness and bloodlust of a rabid pit bull. The band's ninth studi...

The Ultimate Destroyer

You knew it would only get bloodier after Chicago's LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR (LOTM) hacked and stabbed with murderous metal rage and old school spirit on 2004's "Carnage".
