Hello loyal readers and welcome! It is that time of the year again where we look back on what came before and look ahead to what we may expect. In 2022 we slowly left the pandemic behind us and finally ventured outside again and into concert halls, which means our list of favourite gigs can finally make a return. Of course, there was more than enough time throughout the year to check out new releases and share our thoughts about those as well, and as eclectic a blog as we try to be, there is bound to be something below that you like as well. Maybe you’ve missed something along the road, maybe there’s something you’ve been meaning to check out but haven’t come around to yet? Time then to check out our lists, let’s go.
After the disappointing Ayreon album Transitus, Arjen Lucassen is back with a vengeance with his third Star One album. 
Although every new Motorpsycho release is met with a warm welcome here at Sounds From the Darkside, it doesn’t mean that were without critical remarks about the content. 
After over forty years of being in the metal business, Udo Dirkschneider might have just released his biggest album yet.
With Infinite, Deep Purple releases their twentieth and likely last album before embarking on an extensive farewell tour. We take a look.
