Now that 2023 is coming to a close, we at Tuonela Magazine want to share the releases that we have most enjoyed. Each of our staff members will share their own list, so here is the list of Alexandra Aim…
The year 2023 was packed with new releases, and concerts made a huge comeback since the pandemic. To be completely honest, I was in a pretty cyberpunk mood this year, switching to synthwave and the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack. However, news like DEATHSTARS making a comeback, PERIPHERY dropping a masterpiece, INFECTED RAIN hitting hard with a new lineup, etc., really got me excited. I was hyped for new releases from my favorite bands, and I wasn’t disappointed.
