Murky US black metal that sounds like '93 Beherit. 

This should probably be in the off topic section, but might be of interest to a few heads as Kerbdog and Therapy? are both playing on the Saturday. Therapy will be performing Troublegum.

Fuck sake, talk about bad timing.    I'm already skint after buying Xmas gifts.

Heading to Nice in a few weeks time. Any recommendations for good spots to pick up metal CDs/vinyl?

Beer recommendations also welcome.

Unholy Craft are a Norwegian black metal band. They only formed last year but they already have 3 full-lengths.

The music is pure second wave worship, but they add enough of their own identity to keep the songs interesting. It's mighty stuff.

I have a cold so I couldn't be arsed writing a flowery description for this. Tis savage, like Cryptopsy teabagging Demolition Hammer.

Just listening to Inanna's brilliant Void of Unending Depths album. Six minutes into the track Underdimensional the vocalist starts screeching like Zed from Police Academy for 20 seconds! It completely destroyed the atmosphere for me. I was picturing Bobcat Goldthwait in the studio recording vocals with the band. The Zed vocals make another appearance in the next track, but mercifully only for a few seconds.

Any other examples of great tracks almost ruined by ridiculous vocals or instruments?

Just spotted the Kindle version of this book on Amazon for £6.70. Has anyone read it?
