Bloodbath – The Arrow Of Satan Is Drawn
To me, The Arrow Of Satan Is Drawn really proves that death metal as a genre has staying power.

After a seven-hours drive through the typical German Friday’s traffic jams, I finally arrived at the festival location, unfortunately missing already the first two acts: the Belgians Toxic Shock…
