Album reviews and news

Balzac - Judgement Day

_Judgement Day_ is upon us. Balzac’s new album is out now, and it rocks hard. As was the case with 2009's mini-album _Paradox_, the digital hardcore style is more prevalent on _Judgement Day_ than past releases. Not to fear – the catchy punk songs with the huge “Whoa-Oh” choruses are still there. They just have some more effects on top of them now.

Accept - Blood of the Nations

German metal stalwarts Accept have returned with Blood Of The Nations, their first studio album in 14 years. Barring anything truly amazing or earth-shattering being released in the next month, this is definitely going to be my album of the year for 2010.

Huntingtons – 1-2-3-4!: The Complete Early Years Remastered

After being out of print for years, the Huntingtons’ pre-Tooth And Nail Records material is available once again. 1-2-3-4!: The Complete Early Years Remastered compiles 63 songs from 3 full length albums (Sweet Sixteen, Rocket To Ramonia and Fun And Games) as well as the You’re Not Right 7″ single, The Only One CD-EP and the Rock And Roll Radio EP.

Danzig - Deth Red Sabaoth

The wait is over. Danzig has returned with _Deth Red Sabaoth_, the first album of all-new material since 2004's _Circle Of Snakes_. Many are calling this album a "return to form," comparing this new one to the Def American days.

Riverdales - Tarantula

On the heels of last year’s Invasion USA comes _Tarantula_, the latest offering from the Riverdales. According to Ben Foster (Weasel), Tarantula is the second part of _Invasion USA_.
