Damn These Heels 2017: Femme Brutal
Instruments of Sadism: Sweden’s Antichrist
It feels like a privilege to get some questions answered by the not-so-self-promoting Swedish thrash attack that is Antichrist. It’s a rare insight into a band that largely keeps internet information sparse other than when they are playing shows—in an age where most bands use every nugget of cyberspace to talk about their band. … read more
