Dryad – The Abyssal Plain (Occult Crossover Crust)
I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this one. The cover has this primitive, war or occult death metal style, but wait is that supposed to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster or something? Like WTF? Where is this leading me?! Still anyone cool enough to name their band Dryad must have something […]

Video Nasty – S/T (OMG Yes Please More Crossover Thrash)

Finally, the full-length was prepared. Aflame wouldn’t cut it either, and neither would afire. This requires some sort of clever […]
