AFFECT/LÖCKHEAD – split 7” EP

Yet another all black and crusty release from Phobia Records on a 7”. And it’s a split. Always a good way to learn two bands at the same time. AFFECT are from Sweden and are fans of DISCLOSE. You hear noise, then some more noise and finally even more noise. Takes experience and knowledge to […]
