Butcher Babies
Take It Like A Man
Century Media
Musically, from what I recall, this seems heavier than the last one.  Catchy, and yeah, brutal in parts.

Iron Maiden
“Speed of Light” (single)
BMG
A good classic Maiden sound.  Bruce is back at his classic metal “siren” voice.  Everything else just sounds as Maiden should… it’s not really too technical or anything, but I’m sure with more listens you’ll be able to pick out more and more each time.  Can’t wait for more!!

MYRKUR
M
Relapse Records
Some brutal yet melodic folky black metal

PUBLICIST UK
Forgive Yourself (NA Promo)
Relapse Records
A doomy goth metal

Bullet For My Valentine
Venom
RCA
Heavier commercial metal… catchy radio friendly songs with the clean singy vox mixed with some screamy yelly stuff too.

DEAD LETTER CIRCUS
AESTHESIS
The End
A more or less commercial hard rock thing, maybe a bit proggy like a Karnivool or Fair to Midland type thing.

Rivers of Nihil
Monarchy
Metal Blade Records
Technical death metal… brutal and yet a bit proggy and catchy too.  We loved the last album from these guys and they are up to snuff for their new album too

Kobra and the Lotus
“Spirit of Radio” (Single)
Titan
Covering a Rush song can be a slippery slope.  These guys/gal handle it great!  (This is the first song from an upcoming all covers EP)

Dark Sermon
The Oracle
eOne Entertainment
A sort of melodic death/black metal thing, I guess the closest comparison I could make is maybe older Opeth.  Proggy melodies and brutal death metal.

Pentagram
Curious Volume
Peaceville Records
Doom masters are back… this album is catchy groovin’ doomy stoner metal with some great melodies and stuff too.

Chris Caffery
Your Heaven Is Real
Metalville Records
Chris has always had some decent classic sounding metal releases, a bit like Savatage, but maybe with a heavier edge to it.  This album follows the same formula… good catchy classic metal songs… but the production is a bit mushy… still good enough though.

Ahab
The Boats Of Glen Carring
Napalm Records
Some long songed doomy metal with a bit of a proggy hard rock tendency but with some harsh vocals too.

Toseland
Renegade
Metalville Records
Fronted by a world superbike champion, James Toseland, this is some melodic hard rock stuff… vocals are clean and sung with a pretty good range and sound.  Decent catchy hard rock, but maybe not quite for the Mosh Pit.

Elysian Fields
Adelain DLP/CD
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Mostly black metal, a bit thrashy, and melodic too, oh hey, there’s a bit of a death metal thing going on too.

CRISALIDA
Terra Ancestral
Mechanix Records
Female fronted proggy hard rock en Espanol.

Kyy
Travesty Of Light
Saturnal Records
Only 4 tracks, but brutal black metal throughout!

Necrodium
Remnants
Breaking Wheel Productions
Your decent meat and potatoes death metal.

Vardan
Between the Fog and Shadows
Moribund
3 long tracks of crappy black metal.

Dead Lord
Heads Held High
Century Media
a 70’s throwback… sounding a bit like some Sabbath/Ghost -ish.

Oceans Of Slumber
Blue (EP)
Century Media
a Covers EP.  Female fronted prog rock doing up their way of songs from Candlemass, Led Zep, Emperor… mostly doomy

KALEDON
Chapter IV: Twilight Of The Gods
Scarlet
Your classic epic power metal vocals over some heavier than normal power metal.

Barrows
Swine Race
Inverse
Brutal death metal with a little bit of grind going on.  pretty good stuff.

Wombbath
Downfall Rising
Dark Descent
Death metal with a brutal groove and leaning just a touch into the black metal territory.

BONEHUNTER
Evil Triumphs Again (CD, LP, TAPE)
Hells Headbangers
A bit of a classic black metal thing

SCYTHIAN (UK)
Hubris in Excelsis (CD, LP)
Hells Headbangers
Fast heavy brutal death metal maybe leaning into some melodic blackened death metal.  good stuff.

Nekro Drunkz
Absolute Filth
Moribund
Kind of a Anal Cunt type thing, fast, punky death metal with “funny” misogynistic song titles

Vaee Solis
Adversarial Light
Signal Rex / Mordgrimm
A bit of a doomy black metal… sludgey slow down tempo stuff with screamy abrasive vocals.

Dogbane
When Karma Comes Calling
Heaven and Hell Records
Standard metal with clean vox, a little bit of an Iron Maiden feel… production is a bit raw and “local” sounding.

Stryper
2 song sampler
Classic heavy metal from Stryper two heavy songs

Re-Armed
Total Lack of Communication
Self-Release
Brutal thrashy metal.  catchy heavy with abrasive vox, cool heavy guitars maybe some good melodies and stuff.

Spock’s Beard
The Oblivion Particle
InsideOut
With lineup changes throughout their career, this album is pretty solid.  Even with vocalist changes and drummer changes, they still have a solid core
