Best Metal Albums of the 2010s
We just ended a decade. I thought it was a good time to revisit some of my favorite albums of the past 10 years.
What’s Next for Chris Adler?
Even though we’ve heard from both parties at this point, it’s still not very clear what actually happened. These things end up being public at some point; but for now, we don’t really know what led to this decision. My goal with this article is to share my own thoughts on Chris Adler’s drumming, his contribution to Lamb of God, and what we might expect in the future.
Underrated Albums: Mercyful Fate – In the Shadows
The band has recently announced that they are launching a new tour! I want to use this opportunity to write about my favorite Mercyful Fate album, and of my favorite heavy metal records of all time, In the Shadows.
