(TheBRHM.com) I touched on Three, a Cleveland-based band featuring Black Death singer Siki Spacek in his usual roles as vocalists and guitarist. Is it a continuation of Black Death Resurrected and Black Death? Not exactly, but with Siki’s involvement, you’ll notice a lot of the two aforementioned bands’ influences on ...
