By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high
Our whips and armour shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now

On the last day of this awful year, which was a tough challenge for everybody on our planet, we want to present to you something special. My colleagues MrMetalsson (Tim), Divine Victim (Aidan) and I thought about our own favourite bands, albums, songs etc. – after reading our lists, you’ll know more about our own tastes. Some answers are quite shocking, I suppose, but on New Year’s Eve it’s time to open the kimono, isn’t it? But, most of all, at this point we wish you all the best and lots of luck in 2021. Many thanks for your amazing support so far! (BB)
