Universal Minds – Lost in the Haze of a Dream (Album Review)

I mentioned in one of my previous reviews that one of the best things that happened when I started Mega-Depth was being contacted by newer artists. I do my best to keep an eye out for new music; but no one has an infinite amount of time (if you do, don’t share your secret with anyone!). Sim Diamond is …...

My Tribute to Rolf Kasparek and Running Wild

This is my tribute to an iconic metal band. I hope more people become aware of their discography. I can’t remember when I first heard of Running Wild, but it must have been around 1999-2000.

Farooq – The Faction (Album Review)

As much as I enjoy reviewing albums from internationally known bands like Metallica and Judas Priest, I equally enjoy discovering younger bands and tell my readers about them. Whether we like it or not, some of our favorite musicians – people who influenced us and even helped us through difficult times – are getting older....

Queen in 3-D – (Book Review)

Welcome back to Mega-Depth! For this article, I thought I’d venture into something new: my first book review. I don’t know if I’ll do a lot of these, but there’s one book that I just had to write about. This isn’t a book written by someone who didn’t know the band so well. This is …...

The Importance of Self-Confidence in Music

We all define the word “confidence” differently, but we all agree on its importance. The way that I see it, confidence is the fuel that gives you the energy to keep doing whatever it is you want to do. It’s the main ingredient in getting better at something. Naturally, it’s also essential in guitar playing. …...
