That Kind Of Pop Star: Allo Darlin'Elizabeth Morris is discussing the moment she first realised that her band might be more than a mere hobby. “We played the Big Top at End Of The Road last year, not really expecting anyone to be there.

Produced by Jens Borgen ( Opeth , Soilwork ), has the same anthemic feel as the band's classic 1990 album, Coma of Souls . During a recent chat with Kreator frontman Mille Petrozza, Noisecreep asked the vocalist/guitarist if he agreed with that assessment: "You're definitely right. I think there are many similarities between the two albums.
