As the artists set …

Paul Casey over at Rock! Shock! Pop! has been kind enough to write up a glowing review of Existence Establishment’s first vinyl release! MA/PE/FU Vol. 1 is still available at the shop.
About four hundred years ago, a bunch of losers left England because their religion wasn’t strict enough.

Musique Machine just published a new review of Stratvm Terror – This is My Own Hell CD which has been added to the release page and is still available from the shop.
