Artist: Mountain Caller Album Title: Chronicle II: Hypergenesis Label: Church Road Records Date of Release: 26 January 2024 Would you just look at that cover art? One glance at it and you just knew that I’d feel compelled to dive right in, didn’t you? And you’re correct of course, even though I knew the square  Continue Reading »

Artist: Vemod Album Title: The Deepening Label: Prophecy Productions Date of Release: 19 January 2024 It has taken a decade for this album to see the light of day but there’s an argument to suggest that time has little meaning in the town of Namsos, Norway.
