  • Ayreon – The Source

    By his own admission, legendary musician and songwriter Arjen Anthony Lucassen is complete recluse. He doesn’t even tour his music, he stays in his studio and writes, plays, records, produces and releases music. And who ultimately reaps the rewards...

  • Sirenia – Dim Days of Dolor

    Sirenia has always been a band for me that has drawn the short straw. What I mean by that is musically the band has been as brilliant, and if not better than their genre counterparts in Finland’s Nightwish, but...

  • Dee Snider – We Are The Ones

    With a recorded history spanning 35 years, We Are the Ones is a surprisingly contemporary and thoroughly entertaining third solo album from ‘the nicest man in rock’n’roll’, Mr Dee Snider. The storied history of Tri-State legends Twisted Sister has...
