(review) OVER POWER – Ruination LP

OVER POWER

  I do have a weakness for some grind core, provided it is well recorded and embedded in metal. Death metal preferably. Welcome to OVER POWER from Kediri, East Java – Indonesia. Sounds exotic enough? But the noise they make does not and you are all familiar with such a recipe. It’s a great blend […]
