Dear readers!

I have to admit that the month of November was rather slow regarding the release of new high-quality music. Gladly, the last few days of the months saved four and a half overall rather slow weeks. I have managed to put a decent and diversified playlist together. It features ten new songs as usual and thirty-seven minutes of new music. The covered genres include alternative rock, crossover, heavy metal, indie rock, pop, punk rock and thrash metal. The track list features songs performed in English, French, German and Japanese. Check out my playlist by clicking on the following link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0gYJ0MPZrIwkfylG3Yz8yZ
