ANGEL’s “A Woman’s Diary – The Hidden Chapter” is another heartfelt and emotional album by Helena Iren Michaelsen.

DAN REED – Liftoff 2020


In these challenging times I am happy to try to bring some musical solace to these days with the release of my New Solo Album entitled ‘Liftoff’ shipping on December 4th! Pre-Orders begins this Friday and will be releasing 4 Lyric Videos I’ve created over the next month.

I am honored to have three co-writes on this eleven track album with Richard Hilton, master keyboardist from ‘Chic‘ whom we worked with on SLAM all those years ago, bassist and brother Bengt Jonasson, guitarist James Bird from ‘Mason Hill’, and had the pleasure of UK ultra vocalists Emily Lynn and Lara Smiles perform some amazing vocals on a couple tracks! The album is mastered by the talented Ian Kelosky, and artwork designed by the always amazing Graeme Graeme Purdy Bell

Full House Brew – Crew Bare Knuckle 2020


Anyone who immediately thinks of a proper bar fight when hearing the name FULL HOUSE BREW CREW and an album title like “Bare Knuckle” is … completely wrong. The band is an absolute groove-metal feat undacting on a perfectly balanced path of pure heaviness and melody. FULL HOUSE BREW CREW have long since developed their own handwriting and are correspondingly self-confident on “Bare Knuckle”. The groove goes straight to the limbs, the riffs grind into your head and the melodies make for such a powerful catchy tune.

01 Cult Of Misery
02 Unforgiving Land
03 Bare Knuckle
04 Servant Of Despair
05 Buried Hope
06 Black Flag
07 Nail In You
08 Breaking New Ground

10 Draw From The Bottom

Thunder – All The Right Noice 2021


On March 12, 2021, the Thunder will release a new studio album via the company BMG. The first taste can be listened to below.

The new album All The Right Noice is a classic Thunder rock album, a sound that has charmed so many fans during their 30-year career. Work on the album began just one month before the first shutdown of Covid-19 and should have actually been released in September 2020.
“All songs were written and recorded before Covid-19 and the messages are very relevant in these Covid times. The first single from the album, Last One Out Turn Off The Lights can easily be interpreted as a song about the world’s downfall and anger over the ‘lockdown’, but it is really about Brexit. But you can interpret it a bit anyway, “says Luke Mo

Immortal Guardian – Psychosomatic 2021


Immortal Guardian comprises some of the most talented artists I’ve seen and their humility sets them apart, hindering the capacity to flaunt it (not a bad thing in my opinion). You’ll not likely find another group with this much devotion to the craft.

1.Psychosomatic
2.Read Between the Lines 06:01
3.Lockdown
4.Phobia
5.Clocks
6.Self-Isolation
7.Goodbye to Farewells
8.Candlelight
9.Find a Reason

Jack Slamer – Keep Your Love Loud 2020


This masterpiece owes a great deal to its producer Tommy Vetterli (KREATOR, CORONER) who recorded «Keep Your Love Loud» at the New Sound Studio (ELUVEITIE, BATTALION) and piloted JACK SLAMER through their album production with honest and direct feedback.
Even unconventional ideas were given room and they clearly added to the sound without trying to reinvent the wheel itself. This appetite can be heard on the ZZ-Top inspired ‘Magic Woman’, the heavy disco beat of ‘Brother’, the Darbuka performance in ‘Favorite Enemy’, or the swirling bassline in ‘Stumbled’. All this keeps JACK SLAMER far from being a classic rock’n’roll five piece and shows how the sense of family can be found at the roots of this band.

1 – Brother
2 – Favorite

Sodom – Genesis XIX 2020


Altenessen, a social melting-pot deep in the heart of the Ruhr Area. From the mid-19th century, the region supplied Europe’s industrialisation with the required raw materials, mined under back-breaking conditions below ground in coal pits named Carl, Anna, Fritz-Heinrich, Helene and the like. Altenessen is also the musical domicile of Tom Angelripper, vocalist/bassist of German metal act Sodom, who has met for some years with his band members in a ratty rehearsal room in that part of Essen to produce tough-as-nails thrash music.
