Thomas Carlsen’s Transmission – Redemption EP (Independent)
Thomas Carlsen is a Norwegian multi-instrumentalist and song writer with Transmission being his latest project which is very much inspired by classic '80s metal from the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Queensrÿche and that is not a bad list of musical inspirations and comparisons by any standards. Carlsen plays all instruments but has..
Seething Akira – Dysfunctional Wonderland (FiXT)
I first came across Seething Akira with the debut release of Sleepy Skeletor when they were a new and unsigned band but were already creating a big buzz with their intense energy levels and supercharged gigs. They were a band very much a work in progress but everything seemed to be just about in the..
Infamous Stiffs – Kill For The Sound (Die Laughing Records)
I love the fact that there is always something new to learn, I'm listening to the Infamous Stiffs and a little baffled by the description that they are a SoCal punk band which meant nothing to me but then modern punk is not really my scene. Thank goodness for the internet so now I know..

M.ILL.ION – Back On Track (AOR Heaven)

The band was formed by bassist B J Laneby being a hard working musician with a definite plan for..
Lords Of Black – Alchemy Of Souls Part II (Frontiers Music)
I'm assuming that everyone now knows the story of the Spanish band Lords Of Black, their incredible debut in 2014, the interest of a certain Mr Blackmore which lead to the singer fronting the newly reformed Rainbow and the virtually perfect series of progressive metal albums that Lords Of Black continue to turn out for..
Newman – Into The Monsters’ Playground (AOR Heaven)
The British singer, guitarist and songwriter Steve Newman formed the band Newman back in 1997 with the intention for it to be a melodic rock band inspired by the past but looking to the future and with the songs to be progressive, hook laden, melodic and incisive. This ethos has obviously stood him in good..
The Grandmaster – Skywards – (Frontiers Music)
