Artist: Seventh Wonder Album Title: Tiara Label: Frontiers Records Date of Release: 12 October 2018 At manofmuchmetal.com, I make it a rule to not review albums that are only available for review by streaming.

Artist: Pain Of Salvation & Kingcrow Venue: The Islington Assembly Rooms Date: 13 September 2018 I have banged on enough about Kingcrow during 2018 on my website, but rightly so in my opinion.

Madder Mortem – Marrow – Album Review

Artist: Madder Mortem Album Title: Marrow Label: Dark Essence Records Date of Release: 21 September 2018 If all music was simple, straightforward and easily digestible, it’d get very boring very quickly.
