@GrimTower Absolutely amazing review - thank you so much! The interview questions were great too: really enjoyed having the opportunity to answer such perceptive questions.

For @KerrangMagazine, I crowned the best heavy metal band from every U.S. state: https://t.co/blZA2gnnTz I am now ready for your praise / hatred / gratitude / ridicule/ incredulity.

@chadbowarmetal @heavymusic_hq I agree with every word you've said. It is definitely the band's best since Painkiller. I really hope they'll make it a nice closing note, allowing the band to take a final bow on a high note.

Review of Judas Priest's new album Firepower at @heavymusic_hq : https://t.co/ZcUMuVjQ29

Thoughts:

BTBAM - Pretty good, liked it far more than the overhyped Urn.

Judas Priest - Best album in years. A great send-off for the band. I think they've done enough and can't think of a better closer than this beast!

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

Fantastic band, fantastic album. True heavy metal reforged into something that just simply works.

Feels like I've been holding my breath waiting to share this album since it was finished almost exactly one year ago. I finally get to exhale.

We are considering cutting out interviews, because we want to post more coverage in the lieu of music, gaming, comics, movies, anime, politics/editorials and more. We find that people are reading these, so we will continue to post similar content.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

As of late, I had to trim a lot of content like streams and videos as they just were not getting updated. In order to bring content, we had to get rid of stragglers. I feel that the cleaner look of our site makes it easier to use.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

I figured it would be best to get the ball rolling myself and conversed with our former editor on how to approach that. As technology increased, I found that I could do this fairly easily from my cellular device. WordPress was extremely simple to use in that regard.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

We began The Grim Tower website in 2014, handled by the magazine editor. This lasted around a year, but he dropped off stating that he was too busy. I'd found a replacement, but it was a trying time in her life and short-lived.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

Eventually, I was asked if I wanted a website by the editor of a magazine that I also had written reviews for, and they hold rights to countless numbers of my reviews, as well as interviews.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

We also had a few interviews go up there with acts like Sybreed and Machinae Supremacy, which remind me of great times and great music.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

As you can see, people still check that old site, it also has a lot of reviews that are completely exclusive to it, as the future of our domain was unclear.

[The Grim Tower @GrimTower]

This is our old site, https://t.co/ay7TsVSplB which is where everything more or less began, after being copied and pasted from a now defunct local metal forum that I was posting on.
