Not new, but I always thought Havok sounded quite a bit like Megadeth. Maybe a mix of Death Angel, Slayer and Megadeth, but mainly Megadeth.

Havok sure got that "Head up their ass" approach to lyrical themes like Dave does. I think they are unbearable past their first album, honestly because of that.
If you are looking for a good power/thrash album from June, the new Denied album has a great performance by Søren Adamsen (formally of Artillery)

New Carrion Vael album, God Killer is out.
Sorry for not responding earlier. I would take everything really, past 5 years sound good :)
Just discovered Exhorder and they are pretty great as well. I dig the "slower" Thrash songs, if that can make any sense, haha.
If you like mid-paced thrash, check out the classic from Belgium
Channel Zero
Or perhaps the underground jewel from Sweden
Agony - First Defiance
For newer bands that have a killer crunch to them
One of my favorites from 2014
Demon Prayers - Evoke the Pain
Really liking the post-hardcore influence on the Volahn side of the split
yep, Eddie's style is really unique IMO and he seriously brings it with the twang on those songs.
Basically a Kreator album.

Give Razgate - "After The Storm...The Fire" a listen next, it is a much better Italian thrash offering this year.
Enjoying so far! Badass album cover as well.
You guys should listen to Abyssidious demo "Murk and Malice" it takes a lot of inspiration from BTC. Very good for a demo.
posting for visibility, and goddamn you're right. This is Arizmenda worship like I've never heard. Cheers! I picked up a tape. Digital is NYP for those interested.
really liking the production on that demo. nice mixture of psych and dissonant bm.
Spinning a bunch of new wave of heavy metal records lately with Angel Sword the top of the pile.
Talking about old school metal, Sabire is one of few local bands in a dead Sydney scene. They play early WASP style glam metal.

I'm digging this classic power metal album release from Greyhawk. edit: It's god damn great.

Ha, I was just thinking of this video the other day. Classic metal youtube.
I was also listening to Altars in my car the other day and remembered this gem. Morbid Angel rehearsing Altars material in 1990 in a storage facility.
too goddamn legit. Kinda racking my brain now lol. This Beherit video live at The Mall is pretty legendary too.
I don't know what is about Doom/Stoner music that ages like wine. The more I age, the more I listen to doom music and the more I like it. Black Sabbath-esque Doom has become my favorite genre for some years and I don't think it will change anytime soon.
I'm giving the new (and last :( ) Falconer album a second spin right now. It's certainly good, but to me this definitely sounds like a band that knows they are writing their final album. There's this melancholy vibe that just kind of winds through the whole thing. It's not an album that kicks you in the ass right away like Black Moon Rising was, but I'm definitely enjoying it.
All that said, during my first listen I was making salsa and my full attention was elsewhere.

Seemed ok from the very very brief listen I gave it earlier.
I've been itching to practice with my band since March. Thinking about having a jam next weekend with everyone wearing masks.
Has anyone else resumed practice with their bands yet?

Quick search and didn't seem like this had been shared. Enjoying this black metal/stoner/whatever else album. Looks like a debut LP after a bunch of singles and EPs.

I remember hearing a single or something from this a while ago, thanks for the reminder. I like it, but wanted to love it. Production could've used some help. Guitar tone mainly, and the vocals could've used a bigger push to the front of the mix.
that's pretty sick and unexpected. "of what's to come" was great and "portals to canaan" was more of the same.
I'm curious to see where they go with this one

Those Lost Horizon albums are in the category of "I'm not sure what to listen to, I'll just put on these albums and be happy". So good.
If you want more of Daniel's vocals, I'll recommend some of his other appearances. Harmony - Theatre of Redemption, Crystal Eyes - Confession of the Maker, Dimhav - The Boreal Flame (I haven't listened to this one that much, think it's a bit more proggy).

All 3 (very positive) reviews on MA say Lost Horizon was his weakest work or not all that great haha, I'm slightly worried about listening :p
Thanks, I'll be sure to check his other works out. From what I've read of him though, he never managed to record anything that matched his performance on the two Lost Horizon albums, but this was a few years ago. Dimhav does seem quite a bit more proggy, folksy, or even more like a movie score. I need to be in a very particular mood to keep that on rotation, but I'll give it a shot.
Haha, that Enchanter cover reminded me of another somewhat more recent band that I thought was more than OK. Not sure if this really counts as power metal though, and is more Power/Doom.
The vocalist at times has an extremely Kiske like presentation.

Nice news! This is a classic cut.
Also, if you are looking for choice Power/thrash, Divebomb are releasing the compilation from the cult Ohio thrashers Deus Vult
This band, along with Intronaut are two of my favorite prog/post-metal bands. Heck, even a good friend of mine who doesn't really like much in the way of extreme vocals at all really digs both of them too. Speaking of Intronaut, with all of the crap happening over the last few months, I had no idea their new album was already out.
Listened to the Dimhav album again for a refresher. I think it's great, but yeah... It's the sort of prog that's just complex enough to require attentive listening. Enough going on to need to focus with the songs being so long. Daniel sounds plenty good.
(I'll just put Lost Horizon back on for nice summer time listening lol)
YES! This is some great stuff! I really enjoyed this and ordered a tape.
Here is some DM goodness I have come across recently
