    2019 TOP 30 METAL ALBUMS

    ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2019 continued the exponential climb on the upward trajectory of the most recent years, in the ever expending realm of underground rock and metal. The black metal, including the growing array of "blackened" crossover styles, continued to dominate the underground. As I've predicted over an year ago, we also witnessed a rise of the more traditional heavy metal, with strong offerings from both, veterans of the scene and newcomers alike. Personally, I was as exc

    2019 TOP 10 HARD ROCK ALBUMS

    Hard'N'Heavy - AOR - Glam Metal Far too long hard rock has been eclipsed by the more extreme offerings of the metal realm. For the past 25 (or so) years, hard rock (and mainly it's direct descendant, the glam metal) continued to take the bad rap for the decline of rock and metal in the music mainstream of the early to mid 1990s, and beyond.

    2019 TOP 5 RETRO ROCK ALBUMS

    There are many elements that excite me when it comes to quality music. One of them is the velvety overdriven sound of an electric guitar thru a valve loaded amp head! A fine common denominator of the rock music of the late 1960s and beyond. Leaping over five decades of rock music, the current wave of retro rock is leaving it's mark in the music patrimonium! Honorable Mention: HOT BREATH Hot Breath EP Released on October 18, 2019 Spotify link Top 5: DEWOLFF Live & Outta Sight
