Killing Joke / Portsmouth Pyramid Centre
Gig
Last November I had the misfortune of seeing the 30th Anniversary gig of The Sisters of Mercy at the Roundhouse in London. Shockingly awful doesn't come close to describing how bad it was. Pulling Gary Glitter poses, Andrew Eldritch proceeded to...

Brontide - Sans Souci
Album Review
