“Occult doom, bound in human flesh and inked in human blood.”

GROOVY!

Heliophage’s latest offering: »Klaatu Verata Nikto«, a driving ode to Army of Darkness’ medieval evil. The galloping riffs therein conjure the undead army’s grimy hooves within thy cobwebbed speakers…

The B-side, »Pestilence On Horseback«, is total worship of pure sickness, raising this release to be Heliophage’s most vile yet. Plug thy nose, open thy ears!
