Serpent Men

Axegrinder's influence on the crust scene is probably second only to the mighty Amebix, this is evidenced by their logo's presence on butt-flaps and backpatches on pokey leathers the world over. Axegrinder sounded like Amebix. Maybe a bit more metallic, but still...like Amebix. Seeing how Amebix ruled and really only made three albums then you might want some Axegrinder in your life.

  6. I've been wanting this. Thank you. Btw, I saw White Ring has a new mix. I haven't listened to it yet but I figured you'd be interested.
