I missed some brilliant releases from last month because I was busy juggling work as an extinct prehistoric lizard and being a journalist together. Also, my tiny dinosaur hands and claws do not help me use the keyboard.

Numento release their second album “The Vile Entity”
Finnish Death Metal band Numento released their second album “The Vile Entity”. The band who won the Tuska-thursday competition recently and played at the Tuska festival were inspired by old fairytales and real-life psychopaths and villains for their new album. So, don’t be surprised if you find my name in one of their songs.
Numento is fronted by Katri Hiovain who we have interviewed earlier this year. Read the interview here.
