Hello Everyone!
I have been thinking about doing this for quite awhile and decided to go forward with it. I added a video section that showcases promo style videos via Youtube. We have featured a bit of this on the front page, but I decided to put a page up that will feature for the moment, 6 videos. I will be rotating this every few weeks or so. Anyone familiar with Youtube and content streamed to outside websites know that sometimes these connections are terminated for various reasons. This may happen from time to time, but hopefully it's the exception, not the rule.
To start off the launch of this section, I went straigh to the vaults. 6 Videos from the era I love most. The early to mid 80's. Some of the quality may dip a little due to the age of the source material. I'm thinking that most will appreciate this anyway as it provides a great trip down memory lane. Without further ado.... click here.
Also, here's one other vid for ya. Loving the new Pretty Maids and will be reviewing very soon. Do check this song out as I think it's great stuff.
I did post some reviews as well and will be updating the Upcoming titles and Picks section in the next few days.
Keep it safe!

Hello Everyone! Life's been busy and it was time to get things in order. I'm back at it though with lots of things going on. Let's look at a few things.
First, wanted to mention the passing of Ronnie James Dio. I've been a fan for a long time of both the Dio era Black Sabbath as well as Dio's solo career. This is gonna leave a pretty big void in the rock and metal world. So to the Holy Diver, we're gonna miss you greatly! R.I.P. Read more about it here.
In some exciting news, well as far as I'm concerned... Wounded Bird has re-issued two 80's classics that quite honestly I never thought would see a legitimate cd release. Reckless-No Frills and Trash-Burnin' Rock are on their way to stores or Amazon.com as you read this. That Trash album is gonna do some serious spin time as is the Reckless. Kudos Wounded Bird!
Picks has finally been updated! You'll notice some titles in there that are considered to be part of the NWOTHM or New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal. Seems there has been a scene brewing out there based off of alot of the NWOBHM bands. This is particularly cool for me as I cut my metal teeth on that scene all those years ago. I also am pretty happy with some of the Thrash bands that are popping up as well as the usual suspects who have been releasing very good quality Thrash metal Keep it up guys.
On that note, I will be posting lots of reviews, and I do mean lots. I won't always mention it here, but it will be reflected under the newest reviews next to this paragraph. Hope everyone enjoys this.
Glad to be back full swing, now just time to get caught up!
Keep it safe!

Hello All!
Time to get the ball rolling again. The year always starts off really slow in the industry, but things have started heated up recently with some very good albums being released. Some of this releases are from veteran bands that have either been around for a very long time or bands that are joining the reunion fold. We've taken a look at some of these albums in the latest batch of reviews.
I am also working on Picks. I will probably add a few for the month, but the album release schedule is getting more plentiful so a bigger update will probably come next month.
Keep it safe!
