Supergroups can sometimes be very hit and miss. Often sounding like an amalgamation of their respective bands it’s a real pleasure when a group is able to form a sound entirely independent of their namesakes.

In 2015 we saw the arrival of the latest supergroup in a more Death Metal outlook, Firespawn.
