    My top 35 of 2016

    I'm an easy bitch to please as it seems, so I can't just make a top 10, it's impossible for me. So, here's my top 35 for 2016 (the ranking order is good for today, but could change tomorrow, except for #1 and #2, as I enjoyed most of these 35 quite equally I'd say) #1 INNERWISH – InnerWish...

    ASSIGNMENT-Closing The Circle (Diego Valdez on vox)

    Seems like this is their 4th album. Never heard the previous ones, but this is the first album featuring the mighty Diego Valdez (Helker, Electro_Nomicon) on vox and he rules, as expected. It's also the first one to feature current Poverty's No Crime bassist Heiko Spaarmann. It'll be released at...

    VOLYMIAN - Maze of Madness

    New melodic metal from Finland. Singer Markku Kuikka (Status Minor, The Ragged Saints, Kenziner) is really good and the album was mastered by Jacob Hansen, so you know you can expect a killer production.

    About the lower traffic on the board...

    I like the new forum design, it's nicer and more modern, and much more fun to read on a mobile device, but I'm wondering why people don't post anymore? It's very quiet around here since the change of design. If it weren't for KingsGene posting all the news and new YT videos, it'd be even worse...

    New Electro_Nomicon (with Diego Valdez on vocals)!

    This song is more "hard rock" than the stuff from the previous album, but it rocks. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

    Nalle Pahlsson's Royal Mess

    I don't think there was a thread on this very fine melodic hard rock album by Nalle Pahlsson, his first solo disc. He also plays bass in Treat, Last Autumn's Dream, Vindictiv and Therion. His vocals are excellent and remind me of Jeff Scott Soto at times. Melodic hard rock fans should...

    LAZY BONEZ - Alive

    Alive, the new album by the Finnish hard rocking band Lazy Bonez, will most likely end up in my top 10 of 2015. Some catchy melodic hard rock songs and some heavier ones (including one sung by the legendary Tony Martin) are making this album an excellent one that I play very often. Singer...

    Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is back for a few shows

    Looks like Mr. Blackmore wants to play hard rock again... That's nice. Supposedly with no previous singers (Joe Lynn Turner will be disappointed) but with a new one that would sound like a mix of Dio and Mercury according to Ritchie... Was not official then but...

    Worldview - The Chosen Few

    I made a search and didn't find a post on this very good melodic metal album featuring guitarist George Ochoa (Recon, Deliverance) and singer Rey Parra (Sacred Warrior). They deserve more talk cause the album is really some fine stuff. Check out these 2 songs: Illusions Of Love Mortality

    SAXON-Battering Ram

    Saxon still delivers! I'll say it again: they're the best and most consistent of the "old" bands. Can't wait to see them again at PP in September. New video for the title track:
