Floating Black Prism – ‘Under the Weight of an Ominous Presence’ (Trepanation Recordings)
John B opened his email, found the press release for ‘Under the Weight of an Ominous Presence’ and saw that if you want a physical release the only option you have is a cassette, He has to say that wins some massive style points for him.
