Altaar – Altaar
Altaar is a Norwegian band who just dropped a self-titled debut consisting of just two songs that each go on for way too long, displaying a mix of doom, psychedelic music and post-metal.
All That Remains – A War You Cannot Win
Six years after “The Fall Of Ideals” placed All That Remains firmly on the map, these guys are still cranking out albums every two years.
ACARO – The Disease Of Fear
Acaro is a relatively young band out of Boston and on “The Disease Of Fear” they constantly walk the line between metalcore and modern death metal.
Ca$h
Banking on the success of Chris Hemsworth’s roles in “Snow White and the Huntsman” and “The Avengers” among others, the direct-to-DVD thriller “Ca$h” is out now. Unfortunately this low-budget thriller does not have a lot going for it except for Hemsworth… unless you count a predictable story, a crappy soundtrack and bad acting as assets.
Dredd
Does anybody still remember that terrible movie with Sylvester Stallone? If one movie deserved a remake, this was it! This time around it’s Karl Urban (Lord Of The Rings, Star Trek) who gets to wear the helm. Contrary to Stallone he never takes it off though and does most of his acting with his jawline. Wait, does that sound weird?
West End Motel – Only Time Can Tell
Just the sheer mention of the name Brent Hinds is sure to get metalheads from all over the world to start drooling.
Guards – In Guards We Trust
Guards is a relatively new band built around frontman Richie Follin (brother of Cults' Madeline) and while they are based out of New York, they sound decidedly Californian.
Red Lamb – Red Lamb
Red Lamb is a new band that consists of Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz, vocalist Don Chaffin and Patrick Johansson on drums.
Length Of Time – Let The World With The Sun Go Down
It’s been relatively quiet around Length Of Time for years but it looks like they’re getting a second chance to life with some changes in the line-up, a new deal with GSR Music and five new songs.
Frank Turner – Last Minutes & Lost Evenings
“Last Minutes & Lost Evenings” is not a new Frank Turner album, it rather serves as an introduction to the man’s work.
