Album of the day: Circle of Ouroborus – Eleven Fingers

Posted on Monday, July 25th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from The Inarguable: There is no other band that sounds like Circle of Ouroborus. Hell, half the time they don’t even sound like themselves. From their onset, this mysterious Finnish duo made their mark with a unique, almost complacent-sounding take on the “punkier” side of black metal, paying ...read more

Praise for W.A.I.L.‘s Self-Titled from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records: We may proclaim our love of French black metal practically every list, but if there was a single country who threatened the blackened supremacy, it would be Finland.
