Omination – NGR (Collapsing Cathedral Post-Apocalyptic Funeral Doom)

  I wasn’t sure what to think of this one, at first, but I know I needed to listen. We’ve got tons of references built into that cover all under the post-apocalyptic banner: Knights Templar dude (maybe Blind Dead) with anime sword, Mad Max car in Dune sand, some Dark Tower castle, maybe Dracula, four […]
