Back in May 2021 I had the very real pleasure of reviewing JR Harbidge’s Long Black River album, a wonderful Americana/Country Rock album with fabulous songs and excellent production.

BURIED IN THE HAIL is a work of art - a genuine masterpiece from a talent the likes of which you rarely encounter in a lifetime.

Album number 11 is exactly as you expect, a balls out pure Rock’n’Roll album that slithers with that incredible Danko Jones sound and attitude.

Death metal juggernaut Cryptopsy return with new album As Gomorrah Burns

Ready for a reintroduction into the modern metal sphere, Readings Sylosis come armed with sixth full length A Sign Of Things To Come

Born at the tail end of the decade he's so in thrall with, Brian Setzer has always brought the feel of 1950's to adrenaline-fuelled life.

Back in 2020 Corey Taylor released one of the best albums in CMFT. It was diverse, eclectic and a long way from the Slipknot Brutality and I fuckin loved it. Fast forward three years and he has only gone and done it again with the follow up CMFT2.

Birmingham based blues/rock band Big Wolf Band have pulled a rabbit out of the hat with LIVE & HOWLIN' - a live album released earlier this year.

Most bands would be happy to produce one outstanding album in a year but Rival Sons have just released a second in Lightbringer and what a one two punch these albums produce.

Cardiff’s Holding Absence complete their album trilogy with newest release “The Noble Art of Self Destruction”.

Los Angeles Neo-Classical extreme metal mavericks Exmortus return with album no6 “Necrophony”.

It’s four years since Jax Chambers (Girlschool) and the gang of Syteria have released an album. It that time, they have gigged extensively and made the name more well known, plus if this new release is anything to go by, they have honed their writing skills and homed in on a sound that is consistent with their edgy, slightly punky image.

The Welsh bastards of clan Campbell release studio album number three and it as good as the very high expectations I had.

Where has the time gone, album number 15 for the Canadian outfit, let's get stuck in and see what we are dealing with!

It's been a shattering time for Sydney Metalcore outfit Polaris. With the recent, sudden passing of lead guitarist Ryan Siew in June, their world has been turned upside down and just having finished recording their third album everything was suddenly thrown into unexpected territory.

Bright and fierce, Seraina Telli's new album rips up a storm and continues the straight forward, hard rocking 'Simple Talk' of her previous album with some additional light and shade.
