Frozen Soul
Crypt Of Ice
Century Media Records
Meaty heavy brutal and catchy death metal from Fort Worth, TX. They have a sort of Bolt Thrower thing going on… great stuff to kick off the new year!

George Lynch & Jeff Pilson
Heavy Hitters
Deadline/Cleopatra Records
A covers album from these two vets… covering a wide variety of stuff from Prince to Madonna, to Carole King and REM…putting a classic hard rock sound to it. Since I’m a sucker for covers, especially of songs that aren’t metal to begin with… I think it’s cool.
