Black Royal – Firebride

Genre: Black/Doom Metal Format Reviewed: Spotify 320 kbps Rating: 7.5/10 Commentary:It has been a long week listening to bad death metal albums. But finally, this gem. Less of that twiddly tremolo guitar thing. Nice sludge/doom metal elements. A solid record to get you through the weekend. More info: here. Listen: here.

Genre: 1970’s throw-back Format Reviewed: Spotify 320 kbps Rating: 6.5/10 Commentary:So this is not Night Flight’s best album.
