The best albums of 2022 so far – April to June
We’re halfway through 2022 already. How on Earth did that happen? It’s true what they say, that the older you get, the faster time seems to fly by. However, the good news is that it gives me an excuse to bring you a round-up post of my favourite albums that have been released in the Continue Reading »
Fallen Sanctuary – Terranova – Album Review
Artist: Fallen Sanctuary Album Title: Terranova Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 24 June 2022 On paper, this album should be a home run. I’m a massive fan of Austrian melodic metal band Serenity, in particular the vocal stylings of Georg Neuhauser which are always out of the top drawer. I also found ‘Viridian’, the Continue Reading »
Seven Kingdoms – Zenith – Album Review
Artist: Seven Kingdoms Album Title: Zenith Label: Distortion Music Group Date of Release: 17 June 2022 For a few years now, I’ve been meaning to check out the band Seven Kingdoms but something has always got in the way. I’ve heard a smattering of songs here and there, but that’s about it. However, finally, in Continue Reading »
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. Inevitably, given their apparent march towards world domination, this release sees the light of day through Frontiers Music, so don’t expect any nice packaging or Continue Reading »

Album Of The Year 2021 – Number 17
Welcome to Day 14 of my ‘Album Of The Year 2021 Top 30 Countdown’. Thank you for all the support you’ve shown me and my endeavours throughout 2021, and during this traditional end-of-year curtain-closer. As I near the half-way point of this year’s countdown, I’m reminded in glorious technicolour, just how great 2021 has been Continue Reading »
Eclipse – Wired – Album Review
Artist: Eclipse Album Title: Wired Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release: 8 October 2021 For a number of years now, Eclipse have been one of the biggest names in melodic hard rock circles, and one of my go-to bands when a dose of hard rocking and hook-laden music is what I need. Released around a Continue Reading »
Nestor – Kids In A Ghost Town – Album Review
Artist: Nestor Album Title: Kids In A Ghost Town Label: Nestor Prestor Music Group Date of Release: 22 October 2021 I have tried to get hold of a promo of this record for quite some time, even contacting the band personally in an attempt to succeed. Unfortunately, I drew a blank and were it not Continue Reading »
Crowne – Kings In The North – Album Review
Artist: Crowne Album Title: Kings In The North Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release: 18 June 2021 The sun is finally shining, it’s warm, and one might be forgiven for thinking that the summer is finally here. It has been a while coming and with the arrival of the sun, my inevitable melodic rock itch Continue Reading »
