Artist: Power Paladin Album Title: With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel Label: Atomic Fire Records Date of Release: 7 January 2022 When I think of Iceland, I think of the barren landscape that dominates the island. From glaciers to active volcanos, and from the barren grasslands upon which weather-beaten ponies roam to the hot springs  Continue Reading »

Welcome to Day 9 of my ‘Album of The Year 2021 Top 30 Countdown’. I can’t quite believe that I’m this far through already, it doesn’t seem possible if I’m honest. Maybe it’s because I’m having fun? Surely not! As I write this series, I’m reminded of what a positive year it has been for  Continue Reading »
