Gnasch, Docile, Priest Crippler, Życie at The Louisiana
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Final face-ripper of 2025 courtesy of Gnasch’s NOLA-flecked corruption, Priest Crippler’s heinous anti-clergy deathgrind, Docile’s belligerent street thrash, and Życie’s ear-bleeding sludge doom. You can’t go wronger for £4, this is live-giving filth FFO: Wormrot, Iron Monkey, Grief, Pest Control, Knoll."
