ALBUM REVIEW: Heavy Temple – Lupi Amoris
The first proper album from Heavy Temple sees the Philadelphia power trio in a rather interesting position. Aside from featuring a new lineup of players behind bassist/vocalist High Priestess Nighthawk, Lupi Amoris (Magnetic Eye Records) doesn’t seem too different from the two EPs released before it.

REVIEW: Desertfest New York
Desert Fest NYC, The Well, Brooklyn NY.

Interview with Dorthia Cottrell of Windhand
Anyone who has been following the doom scene for the past decade is familiar with Windhand.
