Spectral Wound & Noctule at Strange Brew
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Immaculately conceived in utter depravity, Spectral Wound are truly the heinous seed of old school black metal gods... Raw as Scandi frost on bare skin, punk as pre-Viking Bathory, when that shrieking wall of sound hits, nothing on heaven or earth can touch it! A rare offering from future royalty in our sludge-obsessed and doom-driven city FFO: Lamp of Murmuur, Dissection, Immortal, Mgła, Watain."
