    Beastmaker – Inside the Skull

    Beastmaker is a band with solid heavy-rock bloodlines—their singer’s father played bass on Montrose self-titled, arguably one of the finest examples of American proto-metal and inarguably the best thing Sammy Hagar has ever sung. The California trio rises above the crop of faceless Swedish outfits on Rise Above, taking us back to the glory days…

    Admiral Sir Cloudesly Shovell – Check ‘em Before You Wreck ‘em

    I often think that I was born too late. Yes, that’s a thought inspired by the Saint Vitus album. I mean, I have all the makings of a dirty hippie. As much as I enjoy all the modernity I’m subject to, I could live an eternity on bands from and inspired by the late 60s…

  • Blood Ceremony – The Eldritch Dark

    Hellbound Metal: “Alas, while part of me is still pining for the s/t, I’m digging this new direction as well.”

  • Church of Misery – The Second Coming

    Church of Misery – The Second Coming

    This sophomore release would feature some of the band’s most well-known compositions, such as “I, Motherfucker,” an ode to Ted Bundy, and the Andrei Chikatilo-inspired “Red Ripper Blues”—though it was initially only available in Japan.

    A Metal Blade quartet

    Metal Blade celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2012. While the label has already released a plethora of classic and genre-defining albums, and fostered and supported our dearly loved heavy metal community, it remains, to this day, as active and energetic as ever. What the metal realm would have looked like without Metal Blade’s steely presence…
