Artist: Wilderun Album Title: Epigone Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 7 January 2022 I’m going to level with you. I am possibly the only fan of heavy music on Earth who didn’t enjoy ‘Veil Of Imagination’, the third full-length release from Wilderun. It featured highly within many ‘album of the year’ lists in  Continue Reading »

I’ve made it! Welcome to 30th and final instalment of my ‘Album Of The Year 2021 Top 30 Countdown’. Today, I will reveal the winner of this year’s accolade.
