2020, in a lot of ways, was a massive clusterfuck of a year. As it gradually progressed, we were more and more trapped inside. Concerts and festivals were understandably cancelled or indefinitely postponed and with only one proper concert under our collective belts, we here at Sounds from the Dark Side have seen better, more productive and overall happier times. The upside, as always, is the same: at least we still have music. And because staying at home provides with a lot more time to actually sit down and listen to albums, we’ve extended this year’s album lists with an extra ten entries each, giving you even more stuff to check out. Here we go.
After over forty years of being in the metal business, Udo Dirkschneider might have just released his biggest album yet.
Falconer is dead, long live Falconer! We review their last hurrah. 
The pirates of Alestorm are back with a sixth record so grab your rum, eyepatch and parrot and let’s see what’s up!
