Well, we’re finally getting into the home stretch, catching up on all that mountain of backlog cluttering up our review shelves.

At this point, a few indie-based folks aside (who we’ll continue to normalize into the regular reviews), this standalone should catch everyone up on a large number of releases, mostly in the black metal spectrum, but also including some goth, death metal, speed/thrash and stoner/sludge acts along the way.

A New and Hopefully Better Year Awaits…
