Kaboom Karavan :: Hokus Fokus (Miasmah)
Hokus Fokus successfully subverts one’s preconceptions of what qualifies as an enjoyable noise, managing to be approachable and challenging in equal measure. There are three […]

Imugem Orihasam :: Grains (diametric.)
Casting an eye back over the back catalog, Orihasam marks a new avenue rather than a break with the diametric. ideal. Coarse and undeniably dark, […]
