Steel Druhm will never be your beast of burden. Bourbon maybe, but never burden! Anywho, you might have missed a pretty nifty power metal album called Burden of God by French act Nightmare. Steel doesn’t want that to happen.

Things You Might Have Missed 2012: Oceans of Time – Faces
Even the mighty Steel Druhm needs help sometimes and without the help of you, the loyal AMG readers, he would have missed out on this little power-prog gem. Steel Druhm hates being helped!!
Record(s) o’ the Month – November 2012
In a world where the masses cry out for shorter reviews, big on numerical ratings and small on subjective opinions, one man bravely gives the picks for Record(s) o’ the Month for November. Now entirely porn free!! If you give us any guff about the choices, yule be sorry!
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: The Songs of Townes Van Zandt – Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till & Wino
Steel Druhm sang the praises of an acoustic set by power metal heroes and now he’s back pimping out even more acoustic stuff. Maybe all that headbangin finally caused brain damage or maybe he’s good at finding acoustic stuff by metal guys. We report, you decide!
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: Kotipelto and Liimatainen – Blackoustic
Steel Druhm is back with more crap you might have missed due to the many distractions of your busy lives. This time, it’s an all-acoustic set by members of Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica. What? You don’t like acoustic sets? What kind of metalhead are you???
Saturnus – Saturn in Ascension Review
Saturnus is back after a six year hiatus to pummel us once again with their painstakingly sad and tragic variety of doom death. If having a dying bride is sad, these guys are more like My Dying Wedding Party and Flower Girl. Yeah, that sad! Steel Druhm got us this review before volunteering for 48 hour suicide watch. Don’t fear, they took his bullet belt.
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats – Blood Lust
Time for all the stuff you might have missed!! Join us as we do our yearly round-up of shit that got overlooked, underrated, misplaced and otherwise blackballed, censored or buried. Steel Druhm kicks off the festivities with a weird one from the weirdly named Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. Do you like Ghost? How about old style doom? Well then pilgrim, you better read up!
Destruction – Spiritual Genocide Review
Happy Anniversary to Destruction!! 30 long years in the thrashing biz and biz has mostly been good. To help celebrate, they delivered a brand new album for our listening enjoyment. Steel Druhm dons his party hat and tells us if Spiritual Genocide is a party thrasher or a party crasher.
Steel Druhm Comments: On Using Beloved Metal Classics in Car Commercials
It’s time for Steel Druhm to unleash yet another tirade of distaste. This time he targets the increasing use of classic metal songs by the auto industry to make cars seem cool and hip. Some things should never be commercialized!
Nominon – The Cleansing Review
We haven’t had any old school Swedish death for awhile, so here’s some of that! Nominon does that beloved, old school style, but with much more thrashing, crashing, bashing and harassing. It sure is speedy, but is it good?
