Best New Heavy Metal Releases Week of August 5th, 2022

Going to try something a little different with the layout. Hopefully to make things easier to find if you are just looking for something in particular. Going to separate the albums by highlight albums, genre standouts and finally good albums that are worth a listen if you simply enjoy the album. Had a request to break it down by genre but thought that might get a little messy as a LOT of albums could conceivably fit into multiple genres. Either way, I hope this helps a bit. Let’s get to the highlights.

Exilium Noctis-Fragments of Apocalypse (Black/Death/Symphonic)**

You want something heavy? I don’t mean just your ordinary heavy; I mean, like HEAVY with all the letters capitalized. Like snap your neck heavy. Like destroying a mosh pit heavy. If that is what you want, this band has everything you need. This is an absolutely perfect mix of Death Metal and Black Metal. One genre never dominates the other and the result is that super heavy sound. This album seriously feels like a weight on your shoulders. The symphonic elements are interspersed perfectly and add an epic feel to the whole undertaking, which makes it feel even (you see a theme here?) heavier. May want to consult a physician before listening to this album.

H.E.A.T.-Force Majeure (Hard Rock/Heavy)**

If you enjoy all the genres Metal offers like me, you may need a little palette cleanser after the Exilium Noctis album. This is about as far in the other direction as you are likely to get. Insanely catchy Hard Rock that has that definite nod to the Glam Metal of the 80s but sounding very modern at the same time. This is just music that will put you in a good mood with sing along choruses, memorable riffs and shredding solos.

Starstrike-Legacy or Destiny (Heavy/Teaditional)**

This was one of the very last additions to the list this week. The logo and album cover just screams Traditional Metal and that is exactly what you get. The band is from Germany and you can hear every earmark of that German Heavy Metal sound throughout the album. If you were to put Accept, Gamma Ray, Paragon, Victory, Primal Fear, Helloween and Bonfire into a blender, this would be the result. Yet another debut album….how these bands are this good, this quick is amazing.

Preterist-Blood Moon Rising (Power)**

I have almost no info on this band. I know they are from the US and they have that European Power Metal sound down to a damn science. Think of a mixture of Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica and you will get close to their sound. Upbeat and catchy with those over the top sing along choruses and shredding guitar solos. Drums with plenty of double bass action and perfectly placed fills. If I had one very slight nitpick, it would be the production could be better. The bottom end doesn’t really come across for my liking. That could easily just be a me thing. Hopefully, I can find out more information about this band.

Perish-The Decline (Melodic Black)**

Time to get back to some feelings of anger, despair, and isolation. Those feelings are palpable on this album and they dive headfirst and wallow in them. The various guitar tones they used to convey those feelings really make this stand out and personally, I think it is a brilliant move. Oh, and did I mention this is a debut album? This is WAY too good to be a debut album. The songs are expertly crafted, and it even feels like they took care with the running order, as it feels like the songs build on each other.

Something else worthy of note. When I went to their Bandcamp page, they have a special edition box set of this album for sale. That isn’t really noteworthy but where the box is from certainly is. It is locally made at a factory next to the label office, which employs disabled people. If you purchase the box set, it helps these people out and if you want to throw a couple extra bucks on the Bandcamp order, the extra money goes directly to this cause. A Black Metal band with an album this furious, but still doing something to better their community? That deserves some praise!

That will do it for this week. I normally try to keep my vinyl purchases to only the pick of the week, but man, that is going to be difficult this week. If you have an opinion on the new layout, let me know. Until next week and, as always,

BANG THY HEAD!!!

All worthy of a listen if you like the genre

H.E.A.T - Force Majeure

Release Date:  5 Aug 2022

* Photo credit Nils Sjöholm

H.E.A.T, the Swedes who are making 80s-influenced hard rock fashionable once again, release a brand new album in August. 'Force Majeure' is their seventh studio album over all, and it marks the return of the band’s original singer, Kenny Leckremo, after an absence of a decade.

'Force Majeure' is an appropriate title. These eleven songs distil the joy of melodic hard rock at its purest and finest. Having co-founded the band in Upplands Väsby, the same suburb of Stockholm that had previously birthed Europe, Kenny Leckremo steps up to deliver a vocal masterclass on ‘Force Majeure’.

Following the departure of Erik Grönwall, the former Swedish Idol winner who voiced four albums, H.E.A.T insist that Leckremo was the only man they considered for the role of the group’s frontman.

Keyboardist Jona Tee says, "Things between us and Erik had gradually become more distant over a couple of years, and when he quit we weren’t shocked. We understood his decision, but there was no back-up plan, not at all. Erik was out and we needed a singer. The more we thought about it, Kenny kept popping up in our minds. He was the only viable option, and when we asked him he was so up for coming back that you wouldn’t believe it. Kenny had spent the past six or seven years transforming himself back into some kind of rock ‘n’ roll god. He had been waiting for us to ask the question."

Kenny Leckremo says, "Without getting too cheesy, it was like coming home. Everybody has known each other for so long, we are like brothers. It was like a family reunion.

"What we have done with ‘Force Majeure’ is merge the more melodic style of the first two albums and the way the band took things with their later albums. We tried to marry those two worlds; maybe to bring back a flavour of the way we did things as young guns. They locked in together and it all felt so natural."

Produced by Jona Tee himself, with help from Kenny and Dave, ‘Force Majeure’ is a high-energy, thrill-a-minute ride. Opener ‘Back To The Rhythm’ is a pure slice of classic-sounding H.E.A.T to kick-start the party. It simply leaps out of the speakers.

H.E.A.T-Force Majeure-Album Review-Planetmosh

These eleven thermometer bursting songs begin with ‘Back To The Rhythm’. A colossal drum intro along with earworm riffing gains power for a headbangingly heavy groove. Lead vocals from Kenny…
