Pain Implantations
*2022 stock.* Formed by aggression and pain the aptly titled CD 'Pain Implantation' is probably a good description of the music, given the focus of the approach.

The music throughout the disc pounds on your skull without mercy and then slows down befor…

Aged Fractures And Dead Ends
*2022 stock.* Is it really dead? : yes, this release marks the end of Stratvm Terror. But what an end!

The Key
