John Ivan: “Guitarslinger” 14th February 2024 via Bestia Records. Ukrainian Heavy Metal shredder.
A talented musician, he left his country and life to move to the States due to the war. This album was due to be released in 2020, yet COVID broke the plans. This album is lucky to be alive in the music sphere.
