The fact that I could not get the CD sent to play on my PC was a sign. This meant that I had to stick it in my CD player – you know like we used to in the old… Continue Reading →
It’s nice when those little surprises pay off. As a teenager blind buying was commonplace for me, now in the digital age and with a wealth of Metal knowledge (if I do say so myself) there isn’t much I’m surprised… Continue Reading →
