Song of the month: "Hanging Terror"

This songs expresses the feeling of being hanged on the gallows, or being burnt at the steak. With its pumping electric guitar playing, wailing harmonica and haunting harmonies this song really rocks!

Song of the month: "Twelve Black Swans"

A song with its roots in the fairy tale "The Twelve Wild Swans". Like most fairy tales it ends well, in this case with a very nice harmonica solo.
