(Andy Synn delivers another installment of his irregular series of album reviews in haiku. Two more reviews come after the jump. With music, of course.)

Still angry, still raw
Still destroying the machines
With big riffs and rage

New Goatwhore album is awesome, especially the couple tracks that are a bit more NWOBHM-y in the riff department.
I don’t know what all that means in third haiku, but I assume it’s a compliment because that album is pretty damn good.
The Great Old Ones are inspired by HP Lovecraft and Andy’s haiku looks like it could be from Call of Cthulhu.
Brotherhood of Darkness
Call the lost ones to cross the threshold
Promising death
something like that.

Give this man a prize!!!
Very fitting. I knew it was Lovecraft but I couldn’t find a translation, thanks.
GOATWHORE!!!
Also, its just a Louisiana grammar thing. We’re just lucky it ain’t like this http://youtu.be/O6zslvLklyI.
The Great Old Ones rise again!!
