Metal Blade
47:57 – 11 Tracks
This is a fairly commercial sounding album for Metal Blade.   The first line of their bio sheet mentions “rock driven metal”  and that sums this up pretty good.  The vocals are pretty much “solid rock” and the rest of it sounds a bit more like the more “accessible” Soilwork stuff.  It’s compared to Mnemic too… go figure, it features members from Mnemic (singer), Soilwork (drummer) and Scarve (bass and drummer).  Normally, this would be borderline for the Mosh Pit, but considering the members that make up this band, we’ll give it a shot on the Mosh Pit!

Bigelf
Cheat The Gallows
Custard
56:53 – 10 Tracks
These guys are kind of a retro psychedelic stoner metal band.  They are more along the lines of sabbath, but a bit more poppy I guess.   Some of the songs are down right rockin’ and catchy.   If anything, it’s music to drink and smoke to!  Some of the stuff is just Pink Floyd-like easy-rock… You might catch this on the Mosh Pit

Shadows Fall
Forevermore EP
Atlantic
21:51 – 5 Tracks
A new push by their label to keep their name out there… This is a release for the “single” of Forevermore as well as b-sides and out takes from their “Threads of Life” CD.  A special for us radio stations… since we’ve always dug Shadows Fall, and they ARE still metal, contrary to what a lot of people say…. You’ll hear something from this on the Mosh Pit!

Helstar
Sins of the Past
Locomotive
62:54 – 13 Tracks
Classic sounding Metal from these veterans… back together after a whole bunch of years, they haven’t missed a beat.  Songs are heavy, thrashy and yes, over the top vocally in parts too!   Of course, the songs are catchy, and it’s a great throwback to old school metal, but of course, sounding modern too.  You will hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Fight
Into the Pit Radio Promo
Metal God
27:57 – 6 Tracks
Another radio promo dealie, I assume to promote the full blown Fight CD/DVD everything remastered.   It’s always great to revisit Fight… this just gives us an excuse to play more of this classic stuff!!  This EP has a track or two from all of their releases (2 studio, 2 live/remix).  You’ll hear some of it on the Mosh Pit!

A Breath Before Surfacing
Death Is Swallowed In Victory
Mediaskare
40:46 – 11 Tracks
Brutalcore!…. or is it?  Who knows these days.  It’s brutal, it does alternate between abrasive vocals and cookie monster, with just an all out metal assault for music.   This is what is metal is about… oh yeah, and to make it “core?”   Yeah, the occasional breakdown… but it’s no wussy breakdown, it’s full on!  You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Black Sabbath
The Rules of Hell
Rhino
4 CDs
This is a box set type thing of the “Heaven And Hell” era Black Sabbath…. There will definitely be something we can play from this bad boy.
