“On the 4th of September Iron Maiden will release its 16th studio album. This new platter is slated to be a double-disc monstrosity by the name of The Book of Souls, and I’m currently listening to the promo and putting together an equally epic review of it. In honor of this, I’m going to take advantage of the moment to do something I’ve wanted to do for a very, very long time: a huge Iron Maiden retrospective, spanning the band’s entire studio discography.”
“In the wake of the surprising comeback album by Satan and the enjoyable new White Wizzard outing, NWoBHM may be a bit more palatable to metal mavens young and old. Striking while the iron is hot, Ireland’s Stormzone roars back onto the scene with yet another ode to old-timey metal in the same vein as Iron Maiden, Saxon and Grim Reaper.” Steel Druhm has been a staunch Stormzone supporter since joining the AMG staff. Does their new opus continue to satisfy his metal needs or will it be hit by the curse of 2013? Hey, they can’t all be White Wizzard….
People say we don’t review enough power metal around here. We haven’t gotten all that much lately and besides that, we’re trying to only review death metal! Regardless, Steel Druhm has a big ole bag of new power metal he needs to review and the first up is Germany’s Mob Rules. Don’t say we never listen to our loyal sheeples.
We sent Steel Druhm to the beach to get some sun and watch Iron Maiden. Sun and Steel… get it???? [YOU’RE FIRED! – AMG]
