Admittedly, the fact that I already had some warm contacts with the musicians who form the circle around Living Evil certainly helped me listen to the first demo of this relatively new band. With my preference for 80’s metal in…

With Vider’s debut on cassette tape, the recent split LP with Bluthammer, and the upcoming album ‘Sounding The Horn Of Obliteration’ under the banner of WolfKult Religion, it is of course curious that this Swedish one-man band has not yet…
