THE METAL BYRDS – Birdie Lane (Album Review)
The Metal Byrds just keep chugging along, putting out one strong release after the other. Birdie Lane keeps the train rolling with another phenomenal hard rock album. As a follow-up to my favourite album of 2021 4, The Metal Byrds decided to go big on Birdie Lane. They cast a wide and deep net over […]

Haunt returns in 2022 with their 10th or 11th album in just a few years, but who’s counting? The output is amazing, and not just for how much Haunt music there is, but also for the quality. Each release is a gateway into the majesty of Haunt‘s brand of heavy metal. Windows Of Your Heart […]

ERIC WAGNER – In The Lonely Light Of Mourning (Album Review)
I knew Eric Wagner‘s In The Lonely Light Of Mourning was going to be a melancholy album from the start. After all, Eric Wagner only passed away a few months ago, on August 22, 2021.
