_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.

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.
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_.
