Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we explore some of the individual tracks that have landed in our inbox over the past few weeks. For lovers of acoustic sounds, there’s a real treat to kick off this week’s batch. You’ll also find a decent slice of metal, a dark themed cover tune, a cool guitar based instrumental and more. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!
