Channeling 1980s/1990s Metallica, Megadeth and Testament, Charlie Griffiths’ second solo album is a homage to that golden age of metal!

You know that time, when a relationship breaks down, and you don’t really know what you did wrong. And then you move on. It feels like that now. What a strange world we now live in.

You remember this? Today it is blue and black, but yesterday was white and gold. What is this sorcery?

You can’t say he doesn’t deserve it. Nicko McBrain retires from Iron Maiden after tonight’s gig. Sad, but inevitable I guess.

Up the Irons.

Here’s my end of year wrap…. I don’t remember exactly what I listened to and really don’t care how many times I listened to it, but by god, I really enjoyed it!

What a great show last night watching the Von Hertzen Brothers, the final show of their short UK tour. Now back in Finland, I hope it’s not too long before they return!

Minidisc, CD, vinyl. The holy trinity of physical media!

Oooo! Look what’s coming to North America! Hopefully this means we have some European and UK dates coming soon too!!!

While I didn’t get to have a photo with Steven Wilson, I was, on Tuesday, treated to the mind blowing and slightly overwhelming 1st listen of the upcoming Steven Wilson album at L-Acoustics. This new album is at a whole new level. My video will be coming soon. I think you’re going to like this one!

Uncannily similar to KGLW album cover for PetroDragonic Apocalypse!
