Flotsam And Jetsam - Blood In The Water (AFM Records) Album Review
Released by: AFM Records
Released on: June 4th, 2021.
Purchase From Amazon
FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have been at this since the early 1980s and are probably best remembered for giving bassist Jason Newstead to METALLICA. Their first two records - Doomsday For The Deceiver and No Place For Disgrace are considered classics of the thrash metal genre but like many other acts that started strong on an indie label and wound up on a major label during the thrash signing boom ... -

Released by: AFM Records
Released on: March 19th, 2021.
Purchase From Amazon Recorded in Bulgaria - where life is cheap! Hot on the heels of his utterly bizarre We Are One collaboration (also reviewed here at RSP!), everyone's favorite Teutonic Metal ogre Herr Udo Dirkschneider returns with that ubiquitous staple - the live album. For a while now it has been common practice for legacy acts, or pretty much any band with a history over 20 years long, to release a live album... -

in MusicWizard - Metal In My Head
Released by: Massacre Records Released on: February 12, 2021. Purchase From Amazon “Metal in my head... EXPLODING!†Germany's WIZARD have been at this since 1991 and at this point have pretty much nailed this “true metal†thing down to a science. This, the band's 12th full length offers very little in the way of musical surprises and appears to be purposefully designed that way. WIZARD are catering to a very specific demographic - aficionados of gloriously irony-free... -

Diamond Head - Lightning To The Nations 2020 (Silver Lining Music) Album Review
Released by: Silver Lining Music
Released on: November 27th, 2020.
Purchase From Amazon Re-recordings by bands of their classic albums/songs has always been a dicey prospect at best. And yet it remains a perennial move for many bands in the hard rock and metal world. It's right up there with the other classic lazy move - the covers album. The reasoning behind these things tends to primarily focus on cold cash - with many acts having lost control of their vintage catalo... -

SODOM's 16th (!) full length album sees our German heroes in fine fettle despite some recent lineup changes.

Released by: October 9th, 2020.
Released on: Frontiers Music
Purchase from Amazon
19 long years after “Curse Of The Hidden Mirrorâ€, Bí–C have returned with a new studio album. Is it any good? Does it capture the mysticism and quirky grandeur of the classic era? Can the twin lynchpins of founders guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma†Roeser and Eric Bloom deliver a quality product? You bet your ass they can. We've been bl... -

Released by: High Roller Records
Released on: September 25th, 2020.
Purchase From Amazon Dormant since 1991's “Morbid Realityâ€, San Francisco's HEXX , thanks to German Metal maestros High Roller, staged a slightly disjointed comeback in 2017 with the “Wrath Of The Reaper†album.

Released by: Housecore Records
Released on: September 4th, 2020.
Purchase From Amazon It isn't often I get baffled, but here it is. Phil Ansemelo - the mouth that roared from PANTERA and also known for his many side projects that tended to be some form of extreme metal or hardcore or death metal like SUPERJOINT RITUAL - has released a project that sounds like... Leonard Cohen mugged by Satan's Death metal Orchestra? With guest vocals by Nick Cave? It isn't easy to unp... -

in MusicNecrot - Mortal
Released by: Tankcrimes
Released on: August 28th, 2020.
Purchase From Amazon The Bay Area's NECROT aren't really here to hold your Metal hand or fire up your Death Metal intellect. They aren't particularly technical (though they are excellent players) or cutting edge. What they ARE here to do is pummel you into submission. Following on from the band's well-received “Blood Offerings†debut of 2017, NECROT have expanded their repertoire a little bit on â... -

Released by: Relapse Records
Released on: July 17th, 2020.
Purchase From Amazon Pennsylvania's instrumental powerhouse duo ZOMBI return after five years with an excellent new album that combines their classic sound with a couple of new twists. Drummer A.E.
