Roots and chill your flesh this week as we invoke the arcane and melodramatic aura and drama of Italian horror metal bands Cadaveria, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Death SS, Paul Chain Violet Theatre, Aborym, Black Hole, Forgotten Tomb, and Gravesite. Also on cue: eerie soundtrack offerings by Goblin and maestro Fabio Frizzi. Conosci il magnifico orrore delle radici sanguinose!
