Royal Thunder - CVI (Relapse Records)

So it has been a little over 2 months since my last post and I am seriously considering changing the name/frequency of posts to 'Album of the Week' or maybe 'Album of Every Other Week'.  

Fortunately, during the time between my last post and now I was able to sit down and digest Royal Thunder's new album 'CVI' released late in 2012  What a brillaint album!  Every track has a sort of modern doom metal sound with a bluesy/garage rock twist.  Oh and Miny Parsonz kills it on vocals! 

Every track kicks ass!  Check em out asap.

My Rating: 9.5 / 10

Graveyard - Hisingen Blues (Nuclear Blast Records)

One of the things I like about the current state of heavy metal is how bands like Graveyard, who are not full-on heavy metal, are embraced with open arms by critics and fans alike.  Many of the aforementioned placed Graveyard's 2nd full length album very high on their 'Best Albums of 2011 List' and I myself was no different.  Apparently Graveyard are not resting on their laurels, they are about to release another album via Nuclear Blast Records later this month. 
Fav Tracks: 'Buying Truth (Tack & Forlat)' & 'Aint Fit To Live Here'
