2020 has been a profoundly unmusical year for me as far as discovering new music goes. Between only having attended 1 live show all year, not having to commute to work since March, and starting 2020 off with the loss of Neil Peart, my time spent engaged with new releases has probably been the […]

It’s hard to believe the year is winding down but, the year-end lists are starting to come through. Decibel Magazine has revealed their top 40 albums of […]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. I haven’t included Bon Jovi on here in the past because, well, do I really have to? Yeah I know, Slippery When Wet is a seminal glam metal album but the band has steered farther […]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. Legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen has died. And man am I bummed about it. I spent the morning listening to Van Halen’s self-titled debut all the way through for the first time in […]

If you’ve been reading my work here for the past number of years you know where I stand on free speech and free expression.
