Marco Hietala – Pyre of the Black Heart
And now we get the English version of this great album. Though, most of you will already be familiar with this (if you too are a fan of Nightwish), having heard the Finnish version released last year. And yes, I … Continue reading →
Blind Guardian Twilight Orchestra – “Legacy Of The Dark Lands”
In addition to progressive metal and rock, one of my favorite types of music are dramatic film scores. And in that realm, one of my all time favorite groups is Two Steps From Hell, as they are one of the … Continue reading →
