As said in previous entries, 2011 saw the 25th anniversary of WEB. The official party/concert was at Metalpoint, which is iconic in our underground but hasn’t a stage that big. So they decided to invite their friend musicians for the … Continue reading
To say I’m not a big fan of grind/gorecore is quite an understatement. So I don’t have much to tell you about this gig. Just that the guys weren’t wearing their usual butcher aprons with blood stains, nor there were any pig heads … Continue reading
