Album Reviews

Soen - Lotus Label: Silver Lining Music Release Date: February 1, 2019 I can be very picky about what albums I review. Some music I simply don’t enjoy, that does not mean it is bad music, it is a matter of perception and taste. That…

Herman Frank - Fight the Fear Label: AFM Records Release Date: February 8, 2019 I have long been a fan of Herman Frank, from his time with the legendary Accept, as well as his work with Victory and Panzer. Still somehow I’ve managed to…
