My name is Erik Heylen, around now for some 29 years, not a Dutchman like the rest of the staff, but from Belgium, and totally hooked on older Thrash/Death Metal and modern Grind, Doom and Sludge Metal. I'm an absolute vinyl freak. In the past I put out a fanzine (Breeding Fear), I wrote for Mindview (the early beginning), I organised gigs, and played bass and sung in the Grindcore band Suppository. Nowadays I'm second in command at Millenium Records (a mailorder company) and run a label called Badger Records. I would like to review about all vinyl releases concerning doom/stoner/sludge...if that's humanly possible...
