Iron Fist of the Sun – Danny La Rue Died in His Sleep C50
Unrest Productions
Here is the much hyped project that I have heard so much about yet haven’t gotten a chance to actually listen to their output. The big question is: do they deliver? Do they live up to the hype? Well you’ll have to keep reading to find out.
