Abysmal Dawn – Nightmare Frontier – EP Review

Artist: Abysmal Dawn Album Title: Nightmare Frontier EP Label: Season Of Mist Date of Release:  4 February 2022 It seems that I’ve been slow on the uptake again.

Mystic Circle – Mystic Circle – Album Review

Artist: Mystic Circle Album Title: Mystic Circle Label: Atomic Fire Records Date of Release:  4 February 2022 Oh wow, the name Mystic Circle takes me back.

Nasson – Scars – Album Review

Artist: Nasson Album Title: Scars Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release:  28 January 2022 Here’s a decent little find that was originally hinted at by a follower of my website.
