War of Kings by Europe: great melodic classic hard rock songs with huge Deep Purple and Rainbow influences.

....and lots of Thin Lizzy!

It's amazing how Europe have reinvented themselves after the reunion. "War of Kings" is probably their heaviest post-reunion album and also one of their best imo.

So I thought that I'd update my list of metal that I'm getting into in a big way that has been released so far thisyear.
Not sure of an order but

ENSLAVED ~ In Times ... amazing progressive black metal. These ****ers are genius! 9.5

VENOM ~ Form The Very Depths .... great return to a more old school Venom sound with a much better production and greatly improved musicianship. 9

KAMELOT ~ Haven .... great stuff. Loving and playing the shit out of this puppy 9

The rest I'm not ready to rate yet but digging all the following: SATANS HOST ~ Predating God I & II, IRONSWORD ~ None But The Brave, MANILLA ROAD ~ The Blessed Curse, LUCIFER ~ Lucifer I, NIGHTWISH ~ Endless Forms Most Beautiful.

My top ten Metal releases so far in 2015.

As for metal, I'm not totally up to date with what is coming out, but I'm looking forward to the following:

Nile, Cradle of Filth, Xandria (EP), Motörhead, Slayer and Ghost.

Yeah forgot to mention Motorhead and Ghost in my last post ^^^

 

[Riff Raff]

Add the new Krisiun and Leaves Eyes to the list.

Nile & Krisiun are definite must haves for me. I will also be looking into the new Slayer.
