No laziness for Valdur

I'm listening to the "Raven Gods Amongst Us". It's quite different from the USBM going around these days. Seem like Valder and Lighting Swords Of Death are taking the filthy primitive approach? If you are telling me that Valdur sounds a bit different, then this is good. It is not about taking some strange 'left-field' approach to metal… it is about respecting...

In the frontline with Invasion

Brutal and pulverizing Thrash/Death metal band extolling the time honored virtues of death, destruction and warfare within a musical front. Invasion have launched a precise tactical strike against the complacent metal scene by unleashing a furious devastating bombardment with their albums "Conquered" and "Berserk Artillery Barrage". The invasion sound is immense. Combining the vicious attack of late 80's/early 90's Scandinavian guitar crunch...
