Imperial Triumphant – Live – August 14th, Glasgow, UK
Sunday night – what better time for an evening of thinking man’s chaotic avant-garde black metal, namely Imperial Triumphant from New York.

Shellshock Rock: Alternative Blasts From Northern Ireland 1977-1984
This is an important release that covers the punk and post-punk music scene of Northern Ireland in the years between 1977 and 1984.
