Kelley Simms gives us his favorite albums from the year – lots of longstanding champions and new blood to be found here (many of which Kelley interviewed this year, too).

We spoke to Revocation guitarist Dave Davidson about the technical death/thrash metal institution’s latest album, “Netherheaven.”

At last: actually upcoming releases. Well, most of them. Spin (or skip) new music from Bloodbath, Revocation, Ozzy Osbourne, and more.

The tech-death/thrash establishment will release their eighth album next week – bassist Brett Bamburger tells us a bit about the photo that adorns this post. Plus, check out their upcoming tour dates.

NYC metal lifer Rick Habeeb has stories to tell. Read about the ten albums that influenced his band’s new Dan Swano-mastered album (which features members of Artificial Brain, Revocation, and Buckshot Facelift), hear a new track, and check them out at one of their three upcoming shows.

If you’re in Boston, Philly, or NYC this weekend, be sure to catch Davidson’s esoteric new band Gargoyl performing unreleased songs from their forthcoming debut full-length — get a taste of two songs now plus an interview with Davidson.

All the new metal (and otherwise) fit to spin (or skip) from 9/23-9/29/2018.
