“I may be a big ol’ dork for it, but I fucking love karaoke. The local rock bar has organized a few Heavy Karaoke nights, where the list includes the likes of Amon Amarth and Bloodbath alongside the usual Bonnie Tyler and Aerosmith. There’s something about getting on a tiny stage and growling your best rendition of ‘Twilight of the Thunder God’ in front of an audience too drunk to care about the quality of your voice, and loudly applauding a shy and visibly shaken girl for a surprisingly good Nightwish performance is downright wholesome. That does not, however, mean I want to be reminded of karaoke when I listen to an album.” Destiny derailed.

Turret – In the Shadows Review
“Spinning In The Shadows gives the listener the proper feel of the foundation laid down by bands like Satan and even hints at the high-energy go-for-broke attitude exhibited by the first two Iron Maiden LP’s. If that was enough, though, there would be no delineation of classic groups versus also-rans.” Re-storming the olde school.
