ARMORED SAINT return with “Emotion Factory Reset”, sounding less like veterans protecting a legacy and more like a band still itching for another fight. The riffs are thick, John Bush sounds ferocious, and the whole record carries that rare mix of old-school steel and lived-in confidence.
PRIMAL SCREAM’s 2002 curveball “Evil Heat” returns newly remastered and expanded, sounding every bit as wired, dirty and nocturnal as it did the first time around. Industrial rock, electro-punk, krautrock pulse and narcotic blues all collide here like somebody threw a nightclub into a scrapyard and turned the power back on.

Swedish speed/thrash outfit XION return with “When Stars Collide”, a lean eight-track attack packed with razor-edged riffs, restless momentum and enough melody to keep the aggression from turning one-dimensional. Fast, sharp and hungry, it sounds like a young band with no intention of standing still.

French heavy metallers LORD GALLERY finally unleash their first full-length with “Insurrection”, a record forged from galloping riffs, high-flying vocals and unapologetic old-school steel. There is nothing polite about it — this is leather-jacket heavy metal with one boot planted firmly in the early ’80s.
