The annual article has returned – yes, I know you’ve encountered numerous lists like this, but here’s ours!
Another year in the realm of Rock has passed, with reviews and critiques completed and put to rest. It seems that each year brings an influx of promotional music, making it increasingly challenging to sift through it all. Yet, as with everything in life, it’s a test. We consider it a privilege to persist in this endeavor, aiding bands, PR teams, and labels in delivering Rock and Metal to the masses. Every bit of support matters. I repeat it every year, but 2024 is already shaping up to be monumental!
Stick with us, back the cause, and let the spirit of Rock endure for another year!
Having said that, delve into our staff’s Top 5 albums of the year and enjoy!
