Album of the Week: Evestus’s No God (EP)
I discovered Evestus when I began doing my “5 Bands/Artists You Should Be Following.” As a fan of Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, etc., I thought Evestus seemed right up my alley.
I was right.
I have chosen 2012’s No God EP as my album of the week. Go. Listen. Love.

4. Matt Gothic (Metal Matt)
A solo artist from Bristol, UK. He recently uploaded some videos of himself playing with a full band, so you should definitely check out my favorite, “You Know That I’m Here.”
