Evilizers – Solar Quake (Punishment 18 Records)
It appears that Evilizers began life in 2013 as a Judas Priest covers band but started writing and performing their own material in 2017 which they then played alongside the Priest songs and this ultimately led to the release of the band's debut album, Centre Of The Grave, in 2018. It seems that they approached..
Mark Spiro – Travelling Cowboys (Frontiers Music)
It was only last year that Mark Spiro released his very entertaining three CD compilation set that covered his career to date and this proved that this musician who normally operates in the background was a vital and truly integral cog in the music industry. For sure, his profile should be higher and definitely deserves..
Dead Dirty Dinosaurs – Too Many Questions: The Abbey Road Masters (Remastered) EP (Riot Records)
The very intriguingly titled Dead Dirty Dinosaurs is an indie-rock band from Brisbane, Australia with a down and dirty sound born out of post punk and a high energy approach reserved especially for powerful three-piece bands. The music is clever and well written and they obviously know how to play and you get the feeling..
Manilla Road – The Courts Of Chaos/Spiral Castle (Vinyl Reissues) (High Roller Records)
I'm sure everyone out there is aware of the prolific American heavy metal band Manilla Road that was formed in 1977 by Mark Shelton (vocals/guitar) and Scott Park (bass guitar) and which went on to release 18 albums of hard rock to varying levels of success. The bands beginnings saw them developing from a progressive/space..

Lugosi – Video Nasty (Independent Release)
Lugosi is a self styled horror rock band from Dublin in Eire which was formed in 2016 by kindred souls with a love of horror, sci-fi and no little humour. With a punk attitude to delivery, the band plays it hard, fast and direct but they have talent aplenty and it always seems that you..
Ronin – Ronin (Self Released)
This is the debut album by the four piece rock band Ronin from the rather quaintly titled Ronkonkama, NY in the good old United States but it is far cooler to say Long Island! The band only formed in 2018 with the musicians having been previous school friends some 10 years earlier. It seems none..
Cousin Betty – Left EP (Golden Robot Records)
Cousin Betty is the brainchild of Damian Stofka and there doesn't appear to be any mention of nationality on the publicity but I'm going with Australian as it is in the Petersham Bowling Club that the launch party for this debut EP took place. However, if I have mixed up my bowling club's then apologies..
Axewitch – Out Of The Shadows Into The Fire (Pure Steel Records)
Well, this new release is certainly going to make a lot of heavy metal fans around the world very happy indeed!
