That’s right, it’s a double feature! I’ve been listening so much to The Huntsmen’s upcoming release, Mandala of Fear, that it only seemed right to set up something deeper than “just” a premiere. Lo and behold, the band agreed to take part in one of my favorite columns, The Anatomy…

Since 2017, we’ve been wrapping up our end-of-year coverage with a Yearbook encompassing our favourite articles from the year; pieces we can be proud of and look back on in the years to come as the very best of what Heavy Blog has to offer. We love sharing things with…
