Hinayana – Endless (Demo)
I was taken by surprise by this one, for a demo this is pretty neat! Hinayana is a melodic death-doom band that sounds like it was coming out of a grey and cold Nordic landscape but it isn’t! Hinayana resides in … Continued
Review: Grift – Syner
This album is the essence of reflections made by a person that has had too much time to think in his own solitude. A person that honors the past, dwells on it and lets it dissolve into the present. I … Continued
