Danny's words about 2011
  1. Another great year, with Mastodon, Written in Blood, The Devil's Blood, Theocracy and Myrath proving once again metal regenerates itself, again and again. It will never die! It can't with such artists. Each day, I bless God this music exists out there, it helps me in the good and the bad times. At the end, it fills my heart with joy. I would like to thanks my wife and my children for their support. I hope I can post again some reviews; who knows ... may be in 2012 :-) God bless you all. Danny
