NERVOSA‘Slave Machine’Napalm Records There’s a very specific world that NERVOSA builds across Slave Machine, and it never really loosens its grip once the record starts.

SODOMGet What You Deserve [Deluxe Box Set]BMG / Noisehttps://www.sodomized.info 1994 was not the best year to be a Thrash Metal band. The entire world had embraced the Seattle Grunge scene. Some bands folded, others tried to adapt, but SODOM said “fuck you” to the entire system and continued to do things their way. SODOM albums…

I review albums regularly sometimes it’s bands I’ve followed for years; others it’s something I should have known but didn’t. HELLRIPPER falls into that second…
