The 2021 Coachella Dates Have Been Rescheduled—For the Third Time
Thanks to the unrelenting wrath of COVID-19, the 2021 edition of Coachella has been postponed yet again. The 2020 iteration of the fabled Indio, California music and arts fest had been scheduled to go down back in April before being rescheduled for this month.

Dawn Of The Damned – NECROPHOBIC
RATING: 8.5/10 Black metal has come a long way in its forty-plus years of existence and evolution. These days, our options vary from the utterly low-fi and feral DIY end of the genre to the glossy, high production values of the post-DIMMU set, with all manner of weird, wild and grotesque alternatives swirling around somewhere in the middle. But as much as we’re spoilt for choice, there will always be a lot said for a record like “Dawn Of The Damned”: a big, ugly, violent and malevolent black metal record that goes for the jugular over and over again until everyone is dead. Or deaf. Much like their fellow countrymen DARK FUNERAL, NECROPHOBIC have been ploughing this same furrow for the best part of 30 years, eschewing the progressive niceties that have sidetracked many of ...
