  By

Lemmy’s Lounge at the outdoor patio at the world-famous Rainbow Bar And Grill on L.A.’s Sunset Strip, just got a very big addition… a 20-foot-high mural of the man himself.

STREAMING: Medico Peste "Hallucinating Warmth and Bliss"

  By

Formed in Krakow, Poland in 2010, Medico Peste aren’t your typical run of the mill black metal offering.

The group’s debut album, א: Tremendum et Fascinatio, continues to mystify to this very day.

Five years on, Medico Peste have crafted a new EP, Herzogian Darkness, which follows up on the strangeness, the weirdness, the otherworldliness, the evilness of the … Continue reading
