GWAR - The Disc With No Name
GWAR have made a name for themselves by being one of the most unique bands to date. Their name is an acronym for ‘God What an Awful Racket’ and their intergalactic persona is something that has never been able to be replicated. This leads any release from the band to receive a lot of hype...

VEXED - Culling Culture
It’s been an impressive start to VEXED’s journey into the metal scene and with that has come huge expectations for the band’s debut album ‘Culling ‘Culture’.
