With pride, I can say that this past November has been quite steady on The Golden Bird. There has been a fair amount and variety of posts, ranging from reviews to concerts to interviews. Here is what’s coming in this recap:

• Album of the Month
• The contenders
• Late impressions
• Nevermore concert
• Creation’s End interview

Album of the Month: Ancestral Romance (Dark Moor)

Nevermore: Live in Edmonton

I had only started listening to the band in the past few months, after I even bought the tickets. At the time it did not seem like much, but that purchase turned out to be one of the most pleasant surprises of my year.
