Like with the Baxter Stockman album, Mother Susurrus' Maahaava was already released on vinyl back in March 2013, and has now found its way onto CD. The difference is, colleague Cosmicmasseur already made a review on the vinyl release, which is a good read if you want to delve deeper into the musical aspect of this band. However, my colleague did forget the historical side of things, so why don't I bring you that, eh?

Killer Lodge raised out “Raza de Odio” previous band of Johan KillerBob in 2011. Members are: John KillerBob (voice, bass guitar), Olly Razorback (guitars) and Christo Machete (drums). They aimed to play some raw, fast and dirty rock ‘n’ roll. The result is a bunch of old-style heavy metal songs flavored with a pinch of raw rock ‘n’ roll that will bang your hand.
Let me start with saying that “Iron Dogs” is one of my absolute favourite songs and that Exciter’s Heavy Metal Maniac is one of my favourite albums of all time. I still become amazed when I listen to it. Every song on this record is a fucking whiplash.

Jon Schaffer – guitars
Stu Block- vocals
Troy Seele- guitars
Luke Appleton- bass
Jon Dette- drums
