A Soulless Review
Greetings, Loyal Abyss Reader! I hope Santa disregarded his naughty list this year and brought you something good for a change. So ...
There are too many great heavy metal bands out there who don't get the recognition they deserve. Here at Metal Abyss, we think that's royally fucked up. The great thing is that, in this day and age, bands are no longer beholden to music labels run by shit-for-brains who don't know good music. Here, you can check out some bands you never heard of, but should, and submit your band to the list. To submit your band send us an email at support@metalabyss.com for more information. .
