Sumerlands - Sumerlands (2016)
There are throwbacks and there are throwdowns...this one is in the latter camp. These guys have learned well from the metal masters of old like Manilla Road, Queensryche and Ozzy to deliver one hell of a metal experience. Produced by the guy behind Power Trip's last awesome outing, Arthur Rizk.
The Midnight - Endless Summer (2016)
An 80's smorgasborg with a few EDM touches here and there. Phenomenal album on every front - production, vocals, the sexy saxophone, the synths....just pure perfection.
