KOMINTERN SECT – SUR LES RUINES DES NATIONS EP 12″

Their legacy was firmly established as early as 1983, thanks in part to their appearance on the now-legendary Chaos En France compilation (Chaos Productions), which introduced...

THE ENFORCERS – ROCK AGAINST SOCIETY LP

This record is an absolute beast! The five-piece Canadian band The Enforcers released it on Lionheart Records in a limited run of just 206 copies – and I’d say they’re one of the best new bands to emerge in recent years. Rock Against Society is raw, powerful, and bursting with...
