GRAVEYARD - AIN’T FIT TO LIVE HERE
Gothenburg hard rockers Graveyard may be inspired by classic riffs, but there’s a frustrated angst driving the riffage that’s fresh, new, and aimed squarely at the 21st century. Powerful stuff. Taken from the album Hisingen Blues, out now via Nuclear Blast.

REVEREND BIZARRE - DOOM OVER THE WORLD
