Dear and affectionate readers of Hypnos Webzine, I am extremely sorry but unfortunately this is going to be the last and final editorial of the webzine. The hints of not being able to keep up the webzine, which I had voiced last year, have finally come true. Evidently, apart from my chronic time problems, the desire to continue to listen to and discover new music, and then tell about it, has almost vanished. When by now, taking care of the site is felt almost as a burden, or an obligation, is the signal to say stop and close down. I could dwell extensively on the various aspects that led to this choice, but honestly, I’ll spare them to you. I just believe that Hypnos Webzine has had its time, like all the various ‘zines that in the past I have helped to create and bring forward, and above all, after nearly twenty years of writing reviews, the time has come to retire. However, Hypnos Webzine will not close immediately, I must finish the last physical promos I received during the last months, and then I will try, if possible, to close the project about the Njiqahdda discography. But it’s clear that I won’t be answering any more emails, and I won’t be dealing with any promos, even physical ones, that come after this announcement. Then, when it’s time to pull the plug, well, you’ll know. That being said, I thank everyone who has supported us, from the labels and bands who have sent in their stuff, to you readers who have taken an interest in reading our articles. Now I’ll leave you with my 2021 best of and new series of reviews dedicated to Njiqahdda, and maybe, at some future time, you’ll recognize me in some other reincarnation.
