YOUR FRIEND IN LIGHT DONALD FORREST NICHOLSON YOUR DRUID BARD D R E W D O N N aka/ THE ANGEL ABADDON KING OF THE GRASSHOPPERSRevelation 9:11, which reads: "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."
If you haven’t already, you can check out two new tracks - anotherfineproductfromthenonsensefactory and My Hidden Axe on our player right now, and rub your hands with glee in the knowledge that there will be a new glut very soon. All of which has nothing to do with Christmas, of course.
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David
