Hey hey, As 2021 continues in much the same vein as 2020, but somehow worse, there is some good news. We closed out the last show, the birthday special, with the mellifluous tones of SÖNUS and their track The Eternal Champion from the album Worlds Undreamed Of. For the nimble fingered, there is a limited … Continue reading SÖNUS – Worlds Undreamed Of
