The WireDec 19, 2017What works so well here is that all the elements are pursued with equal intensity.

Nov 20, 2017While their new LP isn’t a beaming success, Ascending a Mountain of Heavy Light is indeed a push for change within the metal community and with that simple act of newness, The Body and Full of Hell put their own personal stamp on things.
