Cannabis Corpse - Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise (TankCrimes) First off, let me say that this record is every bit as awesome as its cover would lead you to believe. Cannabis Corpse’s fourth record of weed-centric death metal is pure precision point bad assery to the highest level, each track laden with nonstop stoned brutality. The group's...
Vampillia – Alchemic Heart (Important Records) It can be an unfortunate fact of life that our conceptions of things are sometimes inexorably guided by first impressions and snap judgments.
