MIDNIGHT TOUCH- So hard to breath (2006)




Time I did a post other than best of collections! 

This one is a 4 track demo cdr from Greece. Midnight Touch played melodic rock/AOR highlighted by the melodic guitar playing of Vaggelis Kotsios and the unique vocals of Vasilis Georgiou, who is none other than the vocalist of Black Fate, Sunburst and Innosense, pretty much the cream of the crop of Greek prog/power metal. Vasilis is known for his vocal style that is similar to Roy Khan from Kamelot, but that's not the case here. All tracks are quite good but I have a soft spot for Sign in the sky, you can check it out below. Unfortunately the band/project released nothing more, although all members involved are still active in other bands.

Just Real Diamonds 2020 Best songs compilation

For me 2020 wasn't a year of much digging, just like 2019, many safe picks from known and beloved artists that thankfully keep on rocking, but still I managed to discover some new talents too. Hopefully things will get better in the future as I'm trying to re-organize my time in order to get my hands (well, mostly my mouse) on as many more albums as I can. 

As usually, here's my compilation of rock, AOR/melodic rock, hard rock, modern hard rock, retro, heavy/power, prog/melodic metal etc. Best songs, not necessarily best albums, keep that in mind. I'm just giving you some ideas for stuff to check out. The songs are compiled in proper order so that you can enjoy everything without noticing how you started with blues and ended up with power metal, that's the whole point, only good (maybe even great) music.
