    Megalodon: The Prophets of Dark Science

    From the idyllic setting of a traditionally styled English pub, located near South Africa's Cape Town, we set out on an unlikely journey to explore vast expanses of uncharted science and cosmic mystique. My travel companions included Ruan Jordaan (guitarist) and Thomas Theron (vocalist) of the city's eight-stringed metal phenomenon, Megalodon. With the launch of their debut album only days away, it was time to learn more about the bands origins and to discover what energies have driven Ruan, Thomas, and their band mates, to this point in time and space

    Myrath: From Far North Comes a Storm of Sand

    Come Out and Vent a Little Steam – Mind Assault

    Metal is the genre of youth.
