Supporting your mental wellbeing whilst promoting the latest in rock and metal!
It's happened again. Stumped on what to pick as album of the month. As every year, we honour mental health awareness month by picking an album that's helps us through dark periods of ill mental health and/or resonate with us. Both albums I have picked helped me in two very different ways. Marko Hietala - … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Albums Of The Month – May 2023
Moddi - Floriography Perhaps it is a slow quiet kind of resignation or maybe it is the gentle warmth that it embodies that carries on with me long after the music stops that makes me feel a kind of kinship with this album. MODDI displays an agonising relatability in the songs here. For example Stuck In … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Jacob’s Album Of The Month – April 2023
Red Rum - Book Of Legends I figured out it's been nearly ten years since I came across RED RUM, the most dastardly and delightful bunch of scallywags of the East Midlands. Over this near decade, they have brought me joy through their brilliant tales of the sea and their wonderfully, fun live shows. Their … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Album Of The Month – April 2023
Well, this has been a first for me. Being so stumped between two albums to choose between for my album of the month. They are both completely different styles of music yet both contain a portfolio of brilliantly put together ear worms and I have found myself going back to these albums repeatedly. In fact, … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Albums Of The Month – March 2023
Freya Ridings - Freya Ridings Whilst it's rare for me these days to take to a new artist that isn't rock or metal, it's a welcome breath of fresh air. The latest artist to do this for me is singer-songwriter Freya Ridings. I came across her by chance when her latest single Weekends appeared on … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Album Of The Month February 2023
Halestorm - Back From The Dead I realised I have missed the last two months to let you know what my album of the month is and I will tell you why. For the past year, I have lost my confidence in my ability to run this website and my skills as a writer. Lots … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Album Of The Month November 2022
Dynazty - Final Advent To honour the fifteen anniversary of Sophie Lancaster's passing, the theme for this album of the month is Proud To Be You. So my choice for this month was a no brainer for me; I had the pleasure of reviewing DYNAZTY's Final Advent and it quickly became an album I could … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Album Of The Month August 2022
Tungsten - Bliss Bliss came to my attention only recently and over the past week, it has been on loop. TUNGSTEN are due to play Sabaton Open Air in a few days time and their diverse sounds caught my attention instantly. When listening to Bliss, I find out instantly that it is hard to pigeonhole … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s ChoicE For Album Of The Month July 2022
Wonders - The Fragments Of Wonders I have been listening to The Fragments Of Wonders album by WONDERS quite a lot this month, not only from the comforts of my desk whilst I continue to primarily work from home but also when I do make that rare trip into the office in my car and … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Martin’s Album Of The Month July 2022
Visions Of Atlantis - Pirates My choice for May's album of the month was a no brainer for me. The moment I signed up to VISIONS OF ATLANTIS' latest voyage Pirates, I knew this was an experience I wanted to embark upon time and time again. In terms of tying this in with the theme … Continue reading WORDS FROM THE TEAM: Lotty’s Album Of The Month May 2022
