There’s a certain comic irony to Afterlife choosing to release their debut album now, just days before Cane Hill, the band who’ve so often been their closest and clearest reference […]
It’s honestly quite impressive to witness Born Of Osiris’ continued dedication to their craft, not less because the tech-death bubble they’ve been so frequently nestled in has gone a long […]
With the end of 2018 just days away, it’s worth reflecting on just how much music has been released, good, bad or in between. And while we’ve covered more of […]
Following their year-long break in 2017, Finnish symphonic metal giants Nightwish have returned celebrating their previous albums with their Decades World Tour. With people of all ages and backgrounds flowing […]
