Dear readers!

This new year has had an excellent start from a musical perspective. There have been so many outstanding songs released by veterans, youngsters and talents alike that my playlist could have easily featured twenty songs or even more. However, to keep things simple, I have decided to cut down my list to what I believe are the ten greatest songs of this first month of the year. This playlist offers one hour of power and makes you discover alternative rock, black metal, folk rock, gothic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, kawaii metal, progressive power metal, symphonic death metal and thrash metal.
