Deathlike Silence (Finnish heavy metal band)
Deathlike Silence is a metal band from Finland, usually referred to as “gravedigger metal.” I, however, prefer to call them “horror metal” as their lyrics tend to be horror-based, much like the lyrics of the old-school horror punk band, the Misfits.
The first thing I noticed about this band …

The Cranberries - Stars (2002)
Most of my friends own a copy of this by now. I don’t know, it just seems perfect for any occassion as a present. It’s also the best starting point to listen to The Cranberries, since no album sums up their career more, than this one has. Most best-of …
Scars On Broadway - Chemicals (Song)
