2021 Favorites
In the Court of the Dragon - Trivium
In my opinion, their best album yet.
Dark Connection - Beast in Black
Power metal loaded with keyboards, super-catchy songs and even a Michael Jackson cover!
Servant of the Mind - Volbeat
Heavier than that last couple releases.
Call of the Wild - Powerwolf
Fun power metal. Be sure to watch the music videos.
Vultures Die Alone - Arion
Catchy, fast metal.
Chez Kane - Chez Kane
Old-school 80’s style rock.
Wired - Eclipse
More top-notch hard rock from the masters of it.

Quality hard rock from this “project” band.
