“It’s been, you know, like any journey. Filled with valleys, and vast peak rises, and low peak rises. It’s still surreal for me, because I was a fan of Bon Jovi. ‘Living On A Prayer’ was the rock of my youth. “

Tarja Turunen (Ex-nightwish) On Her Former Band – Completely Embracing The Whole Body Of Work That I Did With The Band And The Beautiful Work That We Did Together
I still keep on learning and I hope that will never end. Because it would be very horrible for me one day wake up and say in the morning, “Hey now I know everything about lyrical singing.” Or, “Hey now I know everything about singing in general.” Oh my God, That would be the worst day of my life, I mean, really.

Skeletonwitch – Devouring Radiant Light Review
Whether you crave for that Beyond the Permafrost or Serpents Unleashed feeling, sometimes, you have to look past it and realize; time has allotted itself for Skeletonwitch to expand their creative endeavors as well as welcoming Adam Clemans on board, who joined the group back in 2016.
