Judas Priest – Firepower (Album Review)
I almost want to say Judas Priest is back, but then again, they never really left! Their newest studio album, Firepower, is just so good that I think it’s their best since Painkiller (1990). The songwriting, production, guitar-work, drums, vocals… everything is stellar as far as I’m concerned. It is truly remarkable that this...

They have recently released their 2nd studio album called Old Scars, New Wounds and it’s beginning to sound like they …...
Annihilator – For the Demented (Album Review)
I like doing reviews for any rock or metal album, but when it’s from one of my favorite bands, it’s always a lot more fun.
