    Somebody probably forgot to pay the hosting bill. Have they got a page on MySpace?

    A mate of mine recently recommended these too ... I had never heard of them so I checked out their album Gods Of The Earth ... it's kind of like early Black Sabbath and the early days of Thrash mixed ... its good , there's some monster riffs and grooves but the vocals are a bit muddled and there's little in the way of a chorus in what Ive listened to so far ...

    I ****in love the artwork on the new album Warp Riders - it looks like it belongs to a slab of old 70's/80's heavy metal vinyl ...

    That's some pretty cool artwork alright. I've been meaning to look into these guys too, their new album is getting good reviews.

    I think this is the single. Sounds good.

    They supported Metallica in the O2 in London March '09, music is fine, but it just didn't grab my attention - mind you the sound was crap for them.....

    might check them out in the Academy later in the year.....

    Their first album Age of Winters is great aswell. Saw them live a couple of times and they were amazing each time.
