U.D.O. continues to belt out qual... PAMELA MOORE - Resurrect Me Despite a handful of prior solo efforts to her credit, Seattle native Pamela Moore is best known as Sister Mary from Queensryche’s Operation Mindcrime theatrics, and Resurrect Me is Moore’s latest Contemporary Metal release (in collaboration with Radakka’s guitarist Mi... OPPOSING MOTION - Laws Of Motion Although the U.K. has been chock full of influential Metal and Hard Rock bands over the last 5 decades, how many successful British Progressive Metal acts can you name?

Lars Chriss (best known as the guitarist and leader of Lion’s Share) produ... IVANHOE - Systematrix Almost unnoticed, these guys enter the premier league of German Progressive Metal. Proof of this is their sixth album: Systematrix. After the departure of Andy B Franck, who went to join Brainstorm and founded Symphorce, the band broke apart and reformed after a few years absen... DENDERA - The Killing Floor Dendera is a new 5-piece outfit from the UK, and The Killing Floor is their debut release. Although young, Dendera leans towards NWOBHM, while intermixing Power Metal elements. Their twin-guitar attack is impressive, and the 8 tracks on this debut will provide Old School Meta... BLOOD RED THRONE - Blood Red Throne 2013 marks the 15^th anniversary for the Norwegian Death Metal band Blood Red Throne. Now they are back with their 7th studio album. The band was founded back in 1998 by guitarist Daniel “Død” Olaisen while he was in Satyricon, and he is the only original member of the band left. Blood ... DELAIN - Interlude Delain, a Dutch female-fronted Symphonic Metal band, has gained notice over the past several years, and Interlude is their latest offering (7 studio & 6 live tracks). Of the 7 studio tracks, 3 are covers and 2 are remixes -- it’s fair to say there’s not a whole lot of “new... LOUNA - Behind A Mask Louna is a female-fronted Hard Rock band who’s experienced notable success in their Russian homeland by clocking in two #1 hits.

VOODOO HIGHWAY - Showdown Italian-based Voodoo Highway was formed in 2010, and Showdown is their 2^nd release. Sometimes called The New Deep Purple, Voodoo Highway plays a form of Melodic/Hard Rock while attempting to infiltrate Classic Rock elements found back in the ‘70s. Unfortunately, tr...
