Metal Album Reviews
Cinders Fall – The Reckoning

Cinders Fall are a 6 Piece metal band from Essex UK. we recently got hold of their second release “The Reckoning”. The Album to me is a mix of metal and death metal, not heavy enough to be classed as death metal, but with a vocal that wants to be in there.
The album starts off [...]

The Defiled – 1888
