No Clean Singing 🤘 IS IT AN ALBUM? IS IT AN EP? NO, IT’S…: …something in between, according to our own Andy Synn anyway!

No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS VIDEO PREMIERE: MULLA — “KEIDE ÓLIM OSYNDRA JÚREDI”: (written by Islander) For reasons obvious to anyone with their eyes and ears open, the Middle East is the focus of great attention these days, the broad locus of a war whose boundaries seem to be continuously expanding with no clear end in sight (and a certain orange-toned deviant raving about the “honor” of killing [...]
