July 08 Hokum (2026) w/ Acid Reign
UK Thrashers Acid Reign are back with a new album 'Daze of the Week'. Writer and director Damian McCarthy is also back, he, with his latest movie 'Hokum'. I can think of nothing better than mashing up the two of them into a fantastical English/Irish folk horror thrash assault. This is the result.
