It’s hard to picture the international metal circuit without Madzilla LV in it now — but their story didn’t start with packed European venues or glowing stage lights.

That’s where Madzilla cut their teeth — not just playing music, but commanding it. The band came together with one goal: to recharge the spirit of

The brand new  Light, Remembered  album from Adam Bokesch is one of my favorite new things.
