Avaland – The Legend Of The Storyteller – Album Review

Artist: Avaland Album Title: The Legend Of The Storyteller Label: Rockshots Records Date of Release: 31 March 2023 Warning: this album contains so much cheese that it is not suitable for those with a lactose intolerance.

Twilight Force – At The Heart Of Wintervale – Album Review

Artist: Twilight Force Album Title: At The Heart Of Wintervale Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 20 January 2023 I hang my head in shame at the time it has taken to bring this review to fruition.

Artist: Power Quest Album Title: Sixth Dimension Label: Inner Wound Recordings Release date: 13 October 2017 I feel a bit of a fraud reviewing this record, because until now, I had never really given UK power metal band Power Quest the time of day. I knew the name, I had heard the odd track but  Continue Reading »
