I can’t believe it is now four years since Greek band Firewind released their awesome self-titled album in 2020. It is now over 20 years since I got into the band and adding in Gus G’s solo works I always… Continue Reading →
Amaranthe are a band that set the trend rather than follow in their Modern Metal genre and are surely the best known band to employ a female vocalist alongside two male vocalists, one harsh, one clean sung. They are a… Continue Reading →
