While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with the Erste Beschwörung demo in 2019, their debut album’s idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around. Predictably unpredictable, HEXENBRETT returned the following year with Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi, a crazed ‘n’ crazy EP that was the result of canceled concerts and tours. As suggested by its title, the record was no \"beschwörung\" but, rather, an intermezzo: for the first time in the then-brief history of HEXENBRETT, this EP did not feature performances by the duo but, instead, the live line-up for 2020 – of course, under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple. A split EP with fellow Austrian eccentrics Hagzissa followed in 2022, with the duo returning to recorded format. Josto and Scarlettina continued to refuse playing live but managed to recruit musicians to perform their music on live stages. Their recruits recently finished the IN CONCERTZIONE 2024 European club tour with labelmates DEATHSTORM. During that time, Josto and Scarlettina laid the finishing touches on what would become HEXENBRETT’s second album. Now, at long last, comes that second full-length to eclipse all that came before. Titled Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter, HEXENBRETT’s second album is a devilish and drama-filled rollercoaster ride through cult metal and cult cinema alike. Arguably more so than their previous recordings, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter truly encapsulates their demi-tag of \"The Sound of the Bloody Iris,\" for a wide panoply of sounds and sensations swarm the listener, wrapping them in a wild and bewildering but above all kaleidoscopic headspace that easily avoids simple categorization. While other bands are usually influenced by heavyweights of heavy metal music like Judas Priest or Bathory, HEXENBRETT take their main inspiration from Euro cult cinema and soundtracks; some of the most important names are Sergio Martino, Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Bruno Nicolai, and Alessandro Alessandroni. One will readily hear that influence here in the prominent usage of vintage synths as well as chimes – the latter both beautiful and ominous – as readily as one will hear guitar leads that are alternately haunting \/ heroic. But the salient point is that Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter moves in a most filmic fashion – metallic, sure, but this is far, FAR from your Normal Metal Music. As such, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter is an amalgamation of love and hate, and represents the duality of birth and death. Its purpose is to enable listeners to escape; it strangles and stabs the status quo of normality.

Not for nothing is their furious, stubbornly obscure sound stuck there: while you’re busy checking the calendar year, AXETASY have already dragged you into the insane depths of morbid ecstasy! Now, after a debut and a couple digital singles, AXETASY charge the gates of Hell with their full-length debut, Withering Tides. After the short, scene-setting intro, Withering Tides gallops away into heavy metal heaven with a sound that’s strikingly familiar yet somehow unique – strange magick, indeed! The four youngsters of AXETASY soon prove their mettle with a straightforward rush of just-black-enough speed metal dotted with tasty, atmospheric melodies and technically demanding passages. This is not the usual blackthrash trip; rare is it to find a modern band nailing the etched-in-time, Walls of Jericho-era Helloween sound with this much aplomb. As such, the production of Withering Tides totally befits their funyet-fiery, dark-but-not-completely chassis: gleaming and clean where it needs to be, and just dirty enough underneath. Nightmarish mayhem, for sure, and immediately memorable after just one listen…but you’ll surely be possessed by AXETASY to press “play” 666 times!

ANGEL OF DAMNATION was formed in 2003 with the intention to create epic traditional doom metal influenced by the likes of Candlemass, Witchfinder General, and Saint Vitus on one side and the more ‘70s vibe of Pentagram and Black Sabbath on the other. The metal part of doom always was a major focus – in other words, putting guitar riffs over soundscapes. Lyrically, the band could maybe be mistaken for a black metal band but dealing less with Satanism and, instead in general, darker topics throughout the history of mankind. The band has a soft spot for blasphemy and simply mocking everything holy and religion in general. Naturally, all this comes from a host of longtime scene veterans: NOCTURNAL \/ Front Beast mainman Avenger on guitar, the rhythm section of Cross Vault, and prolific vocalist Gerrit Mutz (Sacred Steel, Battleroar, Dawn of Winter) under the ever-apt handle Doomcult Messiah. Erstwhile NOCTURNAL \/ BLACKEVIL drummer Hellbastard and his replacement, Cross Vault \/ Halphas drummer Tempestas, have since departed, and now replaced by Neudi of Sentry, Trance, and ex-Manilla Road. ANGEL OF DAMNATION are nothing if not diehards! And, seven years since their last full-length, they’re here to prove it again with Ethereal Blasphemy. Thankfully, little has changed in the sonic world of ANGEL OF DAMNATION, and their third album is thus a reassertion of ancient powers. Like some lost relic of the NWOBHM, on Ethereal Blasphemy do the quartet purge the witchfinder generals and celebrate the old-world splendor of medieval witchery. From opener “Eternal Life in Hell” to closer “Anal Worship of the Goatlord,” ANGEL OF DAMNATION lumber forward with the proud poise of titans, exuding heaviness even when the riffs aren’t strictly crushing; there’s an almost relaxed gait to the album that’s relatively unique for doom metal, maximizing the balance between hook and atmosphere. Credit is due to Neudi, for his looser and moreopen style seems like a natural fit for the band, imparting a new dynamic to ANGEL OF DAMNATION whilst keeping their signature sound. The whole album was recorded in Avenger’s own cellar, known as the “Somewhere in Nowhere” Studio, fully produced by himself; only the mix \u0026amp; mastering was given to the Journey Into Eternity Studios, and it all results in Ethereal Blasphemy having a vibrant-yet-eldritch feel. In the past 20-plus years, ANGEL OF DAMNATION have played live only a handful of times, but to celebrate the arrival of this third album, the band will play a few select shows following its release.

Formed in 2011, French quartet HEXECUTOR started with a foundation of raw-and-fierce evil old-school speed\/thrash metal, as exemplified by their debut demo and Hangman of Roazhon EP from 2012 and 2014, respectively. Thereafter, they slowly-yet-firmly evolved in various directions when they released Poison, Lust and Damnation debut album in 2016, which DYING VICTIMS released on vinyl a year later. After proving themselves to be a very efficient live act, HEXECUTOR immersed themselves into Breton legends and history, intertwining their music with Breton lore for their second album, 2020’s Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge….

Two EPs followed – 2013’s Ripping the Heavens and 2015’s The Midwinter Tapes – before their decisive debut album, Rebels Beyond the Pale, in 2016. Another perfectly titled recording, ANGEL SWORD’s first full-length was a fresh breath of old air, finding some elusive (and deceptively laidback yet rough) landscape of late ‘70s heavy metal, subsequent NWOBHM, and adjacent early US power metal. Three years later followed the tighter and slightly more aggressive Neon City, expanding the band’s still-‘80s-bound gaze through a charmingly rustic retro-futurist lens. During all these years, ANGEL SWORD have opened for Manilla Road, Blitzkrieg, and Satan as well as playing such festivals as Metal Assault, Metalheadz Open Air, Storm Crusher warmup, and Up the Hammers warm-up.

Sporting yet another amazing cover artwork, World Fighter brings the bathos and bravado right from its opening seconds, ANGEL SWORD sounding like true world fighters as they chug forward to their battle hymns. From there, nuance and shade – or, rather, just MOOD – become the watchwords as the quartet keep the thrust mostly mid-tempo, allowing their dark melodicism to fully take flight. And, while ANGEL SWORD never seem like they’re in any hurry, the eight tracks of World Fighter are actually the band’s most uptempo work yet; it’s just that they’re exuding such poise now that that pace feels deceptively relaxed, that big \u0026amp; brassy pulse coasting with coolness and heaviness.

ANGEL OF DAMNATION was formed in 2003 with the intention to create epic traditional doom metal influenced by the likes of Candlemass, Witchfinder General, and Saint Vitus on one side and the more ‘70s vibe of Pentagram and Black Sabbath on the other. The metal part of doom always was a major focus – in other words, putting guitar riffs over soundscapes. Lyrically, the band could maybe be mistaken for a black metal band but dealing less with Satanism and, instead in general, darker topics throughout the history of mankind. The band has a soft spot for blasphemy and simply mocking everything holy and religion in general. Naturally, all this comes from a host of longtime scene veterans: NOCTURNAL \/ Front Beast mainman Avenger on guitar, the rhythm section of Cross Vault, and prolific vocalist Gerrit Mutz (Sacred Steel, Battleroar, Dawn of Winter) under the ever-apt handle Doomcult Messiah. Erstwhile NOCTURNAL \/ BLACKEVIL drummer Hellbastard and his replacement, Cross Vault \/ Halphas drummer Tempestas, have since departed, and now replaced by Neudi of Sentry, Trance, and ex-Manilla Road. ANGEL OF DAMNATION are nothing if not diehards! And, seven years since their last full-length, they’re here to prove it again with Ethereal Blasphemy. Thankfully, little has changed in the sonic world of ANGEL OF DAMNATION, and their third album is thus a reassertion of ancient powers. Like some lost relic of the NWOBHM, on Ethereal Blasphemy do the quartet purge the witchfinder generals and celebrate the old-world splendor of medieval witchery. From opener “Eternal Life in Hell” to closer “Anal Worship of the Goatlord,” ANGEL OF DAMNATION lumber forward with the proud poise of titans, exuding heaviness even when the riffs aren’t strictly crushing; there’s an almost relaxed gait to the album that’s relatively unique for doom metal, maximizing the balance between hook and atmosphere. Credit is due to Neudi, for his looser and moreopen style seems like a natural fit for the band, imparting a new dynamic to ANGEL OF DAMNATION whilst keeping their signature sound. The whole album was recorded in Avenger’s own cellar, known as the “Somewhere in Nowhere” Studio, fully produced by himself; only the mix \u0026amp; mastering was given to the Journey Into Eternity Studios, and it all results in Ethereal Blasphemy having a vibrant-yet-eldritch feel. In the past 20-plus years, ANGEL OF DAMNATION have played live only a handful of times, but to celebrate the arrival of this third album, the band will play a few select shows following its release.

The “shock” wasn’t so much that the French quartet came out of nowhere – indeed, they’d made waves in the underground with their debut demo in 2012 and especially the Hangmen of Roazhon EP two years later (which DYING VICTIMS reissued on 12” vinyl in 2018, to meet demand) – but rather that there existed a band putting an undeniably authentic yet also unique twist on classic mid-‘80s speed metal and thrash. HEXECUTOR weren’t trying to reinvent language; they were simply trying to expand the lexicon a bit, and they did so with astonishing aplomb on Poison, Lust and Damnation. But, now rested (and wild!), HEXECUTOR return with an even bolder record in their long-awaited second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge. If its noless- considerable predecessor pushed traditional tropes, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge topples them altogether! It’s all recognizably HEXECUTOR – and immediately, charismatically so – but swirling in their cantankerous cauldron of old Slayer, Razor, Destruction, Sepultura, and Merciless is a passion for classic hard rock and heavy metal and coated in the feeling of Bathory’s Blood Fire Death and Manowar’s Into Glory Ride. Thus, this second strike is a much more EPIC one, all without striving to be “epic” in the pejorative sense. It’s all twisted with grace and gnarliness, in equal measure, as one will find filtered traces of Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Blue Öyster Cult, UFO, and even the Eagles as prominently as those of Deströyer 666, Absu, Gospel of the Horns, and Vomitor. HEXECUTOR even touch upon just-as-classic black metal and death metal mainstays as Morbid Angel, Sweden’s Dawn, and early Necrophobic, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and Satyricon…but again, simply hearing Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is witnessing the band’s widescreen yet still-wild ways. Slowing down doesn’t mean wimping out, and diversity can be a wondrous thing when handled with care and class. In a word, magickal!\u003cbr\u003eThen again, a recording as momentous Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is underpinned by a deep and thoughtful thematic, relating directly to HEXECUTOR’s homeland. Brittany is a peninsula located in the western part of France surrounded by the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. Its particularities come from its geographic characteristics and from a mix of different cultural influences throughout its history (Armorican, Celtic, French, etc.). Having been an independent kingdom and then ruled as a Duchy apart from France for centuries, Brittany has its own traditions and its own languages: Breton (finding its origins in Welsh and Cornish) and Gallo. The progressive\u003cbr\u003eevangelization of Brittany affixed Christianity onto the oldest pagan customs, leading to the development of a rich folklore in which magical powers of nature, spirits, sorcerers, korrigans, and the personification of entities such as death (well known under the name of Ankou) met with common religious figures and its popular antagonists: Satan, demons, and a countless amount of devils and malignant forces.\u003cbr\u003eAs heavy metal is a great medium to relate legends and epic stories, HEXECUTOR chose to glorify the beauty of their folklore with a concept album based exclusively on myths, factual history and fantastic tales kept alive by the oral tradition and collected by authors, folklorists, and poets such as Anatole Le Braz, Paul Sébillot, or François Cadic. Each of the eight tracks on Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge (one being sung in French) is based on a specific local thematic: the White Lady of Trecesson, the ghost of a young lady buried alive in a wedding dress by her brothers for a reason that remained mysterious; the lost City of Ys, magically engulfed, and the unholy figure of Dahut, daughter of King Gradlon, banished under the waters of Douarnenez’s bay and turned into a siren for her carnal sins; a glorification of the heroism of the Saint-Malo privateer Robert Surcouf; an insight into the legend of the Agrippa\/Ar Vif\/Egremont\/ An Negromans, a book of spells signed by thousands of devils and marked by the hoof of Belzebuth himself, acting as a living entity with its own will, illustrated on the cover artworks (among other themes related to this album and to their past releases); the curse upon the two calvaries of Kerguh, called Cross of the undead, where, each night, a legion of damned spirits rise out of Hell and dance under the command of Satan; the tale of the plague personified in the form of an old woman travelling to the village of Camors to spread death.... “Brechelian” is an instrumental ode to the magnificent Paimpont forest. No words are needed since most legends attributed to this place depend on the historicity of King Arthur or came from marketing campaigns to attract tourists. Anyone that would spend a night here would feel its indescribable force and understand why this had to be instrumental.\u003cbr\u003eIt bears repeating that Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is a momentous event, and it’s suitably graced with amazing artwork courtesy of Skelethal’s Jon Whiplash.

PAGAN ALTAR are the very definition of a CULT band. Formed in 1978, during the early days of the influential NWOBHM movement, they honed their craft onstage with an eerie, dramatic presentation. And yet, the PAGAN ALTAR sound tended more toward doom metal – which, back then, was not quite yet a subgenre with its own aesthetics – but also infused with their native English folk as well as hard rock. Still, the world outside the UK would not know about the band until years after their dissolution, with the 1998 release of Volume 1, PAGAN ALTAR’s debut album recorded in 1982. Thereafter, the cult of PAGAN ALTAR would begin to grow, and a whole new fanbase hungry for old sounds waited for any sign of uncovered gold. In 2004, treasures aplenty began to appear. First was The Time Lord EP, which dated back to PAGAN ALTAR’s very earliest days, and later that year came the full-length Lords of Hypocrisy, whose material was originally recorded during 1982-1984 but was re-recorded in 2004: past to present, the band was indeed active again! A year later, the full-length Judgement of the Dead arrived, featuring material written between 1978 and 1981 and recorded in 1982 but remastered in 1998; a bonus track recorded in 2004 was added, again bringing past to present. Past and present truly collided on 2006’s monolithic Mythical \u0026amp; Magical – truly, a perfect description of PAGAN ALTAR at the height of their mesmerizing powers – which featured material spanning 1977-1983 but recorded over the course of 2005 and 2006. Thereafter, only two new songs would emerge for a while – one on a split with Jex Thoth in 2007, the other in 2011 – before, tragically, founding vocalist Terry Jones’ death from cancer in 2015. However, before his death and led by his son and co-founding guitarist Alan, the band had been working on another album, which would later be finished and released in 2017 as The Room of Shadows. Miraculously, The Room of Shadows proved not to be the band’s epitaph, as PAGAN ALTAR defy time and return with Never Quite Dead – a “new” record in theory, but one bearing the imprint of the past, particularly with Terry Jones’ unmistakable touch. On vocals here is Brendan Radigan, who true metallers will know from Magic Circle, Sumerlands, Savage Oath, and tons more. His somber, ever-so-poignant tones pay reverence to the prevailing PAGAN ALTAR sound whilst putting a distinctive touch upon Never Quite Dead. As Alan Jones details within the album’s liner notes, nearly all the songs on the album – barring the closer “Kismet,” which came as a precursor to Alan’s band Malac’s Cross in the early ‘90s – originated while Terry was still alive, and thus does Never Quite Dead remain an authentically PAGAN ALTAR album. From the Rainbow-rocking opener “Saints and Sinners” on to trad-doom juggernauts like “Liston Church” and “The Dead’s Last March” to the emotional climax of the aforementioned “Kismet,” pretty much every aspect of PAGAN ALTAR is covered in incredibly compelling fashion…even the folk instrumental “Westbury Express,” keeping the mythical \u0026amp; magical alive.

At the fore are nightsky-ascending lead guitars, whose narrative melodies straddle a fine line between metal classicism and something closer to dark hard rock. And Maik’s clear ‘n’ emotive vocals bespeak bathos and pathos, bravado but tenderness, epic adventures as well as long nights at the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cassette and CD versions of Decay will include nine tracks, with the self-titled EP added to the latter as bonus tracks. The vinyl version of the album will include eight tracks due to length, with the extra track saved for a split EP to be released later in 2022. In the meantime, no better time to experience the “Higher Power” of TENSION’s Decay!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e1. Open the Gates\u003cbr\u003e2. Higher Power\u003cbr\u003e3.

After two demos, the debut album World Peace… Cosmic War was released via High Roller Records in 2016, and it garnered great reviews from all around the world. The band then got to share the stage with bigger bands such as Pentagram and Nifelheim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith all the new experience, ARMORY went into the studio again in late 2017 to record their second album. That album, The Search, was released in July 2018 via High Roller and again did it garner great reviews and proved that the songwriting had developed in the right direction. The band was also able to break new ground outside of Sweden with gigs in Germany, Belgium, and Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith two albums under their belts, ARMORY were finally ready to make something that they had planned for years but previously didn’t feel they were ready for: a full-blown sci-fi concept album with a story from start to finish. And now it arrives in the form of Mercurion, set to be released by new label home DYING VICTIMS. With this goal in place, this didn’t just put more pressure on the lyrics but also to make the music more dramatic to fit the story – and dazzlingly and dynamically, ARMORY accomplish all that (and more!) across Mercurion. The album takes the listener through a dramatic journey aboard the starship Mercurion, named after the god Mercurius – the winged messenger of the gods, protector of travelers, and god of boundaries between worlds. ARMORY’s now-trademark hyper-speed metal is more powerful and poignant than ever, pushing their boundaries of epic storytelling, mesmerizing hooks, and explosive solos whilst retaining their core sound. The production, in kind, carries the perfect balance of dirt and drama, grime and gleam, making their melodicism sound ever more effervescent while making sure this is the sound of five actual humans playing together as a band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow that band is heading out into space, and they beckon you to board Mercurion – ARMORY will guide the way!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.

From the beginning, the power-trio’s influences were set: heavy metal from the ‘70s and ‘80s, but specifically the likes of Loudness, W.A.S.P., Tokyo Blade, Glenn Tipton, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, and Annihilator and especially classic French heavy metal like ADX, Malediction, Sortilège and Warning. Synthwave and New Wave, both old and new, also musically influence ANIMALIZE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, it is the band’s love of movies which arguably influences ANIMALIZE’s outlook the most. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere – whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or onstage, or especially their upcoming videos – is of the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics, quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe, and Terminator are among their most beloved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmed with these noble touchstones, ANIMALIZE released their debut EP, Tapes from the Crypt, in 2020. A swift and solid 20 minutes, the EP displayed massive promise from ANIMALIZE, which they’ve handily surpassed with their full-length debut, Meat We're Made Of. Graced again with an unforgettable cover, Meat We're Made Of is a breathless and breathtaking statement. Its sound races all over the place, from cruising speed to tricky detours to headbanging mid-tempos, with an organized sort of mayhem, as explosive solos and dramatic vocal layering turn these nine beguiling songs into impossible anthems. That sound is undeniably HEAVY METAL, but ANIMALIZE manage to synthesize speed metal with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend that jumps across countries and even continents with insane ease. It’s both futuristic and firmly rooted in the past, and the album’s sterling production sharpens it to a katana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaybe most amazingly, this dazzling interplay comes from a power-trio, but ANIMALIZE will become a quartet for upcoming live shows. Likewise, Meat We're Made Of had, in fact, been finished for some time, but the band have prepared two music videos for its release which tell a story – eight actors in addition to the band, with tons of action and FX.

One of the best hard-luck stories in the rich history of German heavy metal, NOT FRAGILE were originally active from 1980 to 1990. During that decade, the band released a couple demos, an EP, and an almost-album-length mini-album – and the requisite compilation appearances, which was mandatory during the ‘80s – and had even recorded a proper debut album, only for that first full-length to be posthumously released in various territories with confusing titles. They would eventually re-form in the mid ‘90s and remain active for nearly two decades, but the demand for the original NOT FRAGILE era has only grown as the years passed. Feeling duty call, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT arrive with long-overdue reissues of NOT FRAGILE’s Who Dares Wins mini-album and their intended debut album, One Way to Glory, both remastered by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony. Originally released in 1988 after being passed around by a couple labels, Who Dares Wins was a rough ‘n’ raucous slice of German speed \/ power metal emblematic of that era. With surprising heaviness if not thrashiness, the band’s 27-minute mini-album bore contemporaneous influence from the likes of Running Wild and Helloween nearby and Helstar and Liege Lord overseas. Nevertheless, NOT FRAGILE had the songwriting – and energy – to put them over, with the record’s production sounding particularly professional despite its meager budget. The following year, the band would record their ill-fated debut album, One Way to Glory. As presaged by its title, the lyrics shifted slightly toward more fantastical realms – the band did have an amazingly DIY castle backdrop for the mini’s “With All My Might” video, after all – and the thrashiness dialed back, but energy remained abundant here. The band’s execution actually got even sharper as the riffing became a bit brighter and more melodic, and the cleaner production brought a triumphant gleam to NOT FRAGILE whilst sacrificing no heaviness. Taken as a snapshot of the times, One Way to Glory simultaneously sounded out of date and ahead of the times, as power metal was about to have a resurgence across Europe during the mid ‘90s. However, their version of power metal surely bore the medieval stamp of the ‘80s, and was all the better for it. Sad, then, that their debut album would only see posthumous release in 1992 and 1993 as Hard to Be Alive and Lost in a Dream, respectively, alongside a mishmash of other ‘80s tracks.

With form meeting content, the power-trio’s songwriting similarly takes all sorts of labyrinthine paths short of being qualified as “tech,” racing around and restarting with sometimes-maddening fury. Hooks thankfully abounded, and RAMPAGE’s attack undeniably possessed a death metalled underbelly not unlike Dark Angel or aforementioned Oz cult icons Hobbs Angel of Death. With that songwriting often reaching a fever pitch of diabolism and all three members barely keeping that fury in check, Veil of Mourn becomes a palpitating experience, a veritable ‘80s horror movie turned into a thrash record. The creepy cover art only heightened this sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs years passed, the aura around Veil of Mourn only grew, helped in part by Australia’s ever-growing prominence in the extreme metal landscape. RAMPAGE thus became an etched-in-time “what could have been?” cult band, who respectably preserved their legacy with a mere album.
