2020 – What a year! Overshadowed by a virus, which rose up like an apocalyptic beast, spreading fear and terror, bringing death and disease. For many of us music was the stop and comfort, which saved us from madness. Thanks a lot for all the awesome musicians, bands, labels, blogs, podcasts and fans! Graciously we survived 2020 and look forward to 2021 with courage and confidence.
Before we stumble into a new year let’s look back for the last time to celebrate another year of DOOM
