| Honky 421 ![]() | Buckle your seatbelt and press Play... HONKY's new album, "421" contains high-octane riffs & premium unleaded rhythms; Catchy hooks, driving percussion, smokin' solos, and bass licks with more fuzz than a 1970s porn star's hoo-ha! This Championship Superboogie trio's brand of Southern Rock will drain the whiskey out of your speakers! Favorite tracks: WFO / Just A Man / Walton County / Over Easy / Black Joe's Bitch http://www.honky.net/ 4 out of 5 stars | Corey |
| ZZ Top La Futura ![]() | Few bands are able to endure the tests of time, the ever-changing music industry, or each other... But after 40+ years and 15 albums, "That Little Ol' Band From Texas" are still rockin' strong! Teaming up with legendary producer Rick Rubin to record their first album in 9 years - ZZ TOP's "La Futura" is a straight forward, solid Rock-n-Roll/Blues album. Well-written songs with memorable hooks, signature solos, and trademark swagger; Favorite Tracks: "I Gotsta Get Paid" / "Chartreuse" / "Over You" / "Heartache in Blue" / "It's Too Easy Manana" 4 out of 5 stars | Corey |
| Vision Of Disorder The Cursed Remain Cursed ![]() | 11 songs with enough venom to wipeout a small country - The Cursed Remain Cursed is the 5th album from VISION OF DISORDER and their first release in 10 years. Time has certainly done nothing to calm the band's face-smashing style! Razor sharp riffs, bulldozing rhythms, and throat-punching vocals; Favorite Tracks: http://www.facebook.com/VisionofDisorder 5 out of 5 stars | Corey |
| Steel Panther British Invasion ![]() | On the heels of its North American release, STEEL PANTHER BRITISH INVASION is #1 in Australia! As a result of this unprecedented demand, the US, Canada, UK and Europe are increasing their initial expectations for the DVD and as such the release date is being pushed back to allow for manufacturing needs to meet the demand. New release dates: Steel Panther British Invasion filmed at Brixton Academy in London with 16 cameras by award-winning Director/Producer Daniel E. Catullo III (and his DC3 staff), features songs like "Asian Hooker", "Community Property", "The Shocker" and "Stripper Girl". The Bonus Disc includes a 40 minute documentary, deleted scenes and 5 songs from Download Festival 2012, and features a special guest appearance by Corey Taylor (Slipknot). Steel Panther is a balls out, twisted metal blending of Spinal Tap and your favorite 80s hair band, with adult side splitting comedy banter that must be seen to be believed. Recently referred to as a crude, rude, look at my crotch, boy band, a Steel Panther stage show is not for the faint of heart or prudish rocker. Prepare to be rocked, shocked and...well, you get the idea. Steel Panther British Invasion may leave you asking yourself, "Did they really just do that?" Steel Panther is Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxx and Stix Zadinia PRE-ORDER STEEL PANTHER BRITISH INVASION in DVD or Blu-Ray: http://smarturl.it/britishinvasion 5 out of 5 stars | |
| WHO WHO ARE YOU: An All Star Tribute to The Who ![]() | "WHO ARE YOU: An All Star Tribute to The Who" is a true homage to one of the greatest rock bands in the world, and includes sixteen tracks by a myriad of artists. The all star cast of country, punk, classic and progressive rock, and metal musicians and vocalists is first class, and includes members of Cream, Deep Purple, Def Leppard, Dream Theater, The Kinks, King Crimson, Nektar, Rainbow, Yes and many more. Some of the artist pairings are unique and inspiring; namely Mark Lindsay (Paul Revere & The Raiders) on vocals and Wayne Kramer (MC5), guitars on "I Can See For Miles", and country artist Gretchen Wilson's rendition of "Who Are You" with Randy Bachman (BTO) on guitars. One of my personal favorites on this record is "Love Reign O'er Me" with lead vocal by Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Rick Wakeman (Yes) on keyboards, and Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge) on drums; and is, in some ways, better than the original (shhh!). A few tracks that stood out at first listen: "The Kids Are Alright" by The Raveonettes, "Won't Get Fooled Again" by members of Sweet, and "Magic Bus" performed by Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits), Peter Banks (Yes) and Ginger Baker (Cream)! Highlights include appearances of former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing on "Eminence Front", featuring John Wetton (Asia) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), as well as the lead vocal of Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow) and guitars by Leslie West (Mountain) on "The Seeker"! Major props to prolific Producer/Engineer/Musician Billy Sherwood (Yes, Circa) who played drums on 8 of the tracks on this record. Is there anything this guy can't do? "WHO ARE YOU: An All Star Tribute to The Who" is a brilliant celebration of the band's nearly 50-year career, and is a must-have for any fan of the legendary music of The Who. The CD will be available in stores and via online retailers October 2, 2012. A 2-LP vinyl version will be released on October 16.

| Stryper Live At Java Rockin' Land DVD ![]() | Shot in 2010 in Indonesia, this DVD captures Stryper in peak form. Such awesome vocals, from lead man Michael Sweet, and vocal melodies from Oz Fox, and Timothy Gaines. Michael is gifted as a great guitar player as well, such awesome guitar tone. DVD captures entire set performing more than a dozen tracks almost in a true chronological order. The set list includes some of the common hits, but also some of the uncommon gems. Great Performance, Great Sound. Excellent DVD, a must have, even a casual Stryper fan. 5 out of 5 stars | Downshifter |

| Motorhead Live To Win ![]() | The Story of Motorhead broken down year by year from one of the insiders Alan Burridge. A little Pre History and he takes off from 1975 to the present day. With lots of never seen before photos, facts, gigs, and behind the scenes info. I was very impressed with the overall style of the book, the straight to the point writing, and the excellent photos.

Over 200 pages of Awesome! 5 out of 5 stars | Downshifter |
| Testament Dark Roots Of Earth ![]() | Testament delivers on this album. The production, the solos (both Eric and Alex - they have almost changed roles as far as rhythm and lead), the drum work (even included are Gene Hoglans Signature Blast Beats) and Chuck Billy's vocals. Seems they set out to make their best record to date, and I am pretty sure this is it! Possibly the best album of 2012! Fucking Awesome! 5 out of 5 stars | Downshifter |
| Digital Summer Breaking Point ![]() | If you do not know Digital Summer yet, you are missing out. They have been one of the main players in the desert for quite some time. They are a heavy-melodic modern hard rock band from Phoenix, AZ. Have seen them live several times and they bring it! Breaking Point is simply a kick ass CD and captures just some of their energy. Full Metal Rock would be proud to call these guys friends and stamp our name all over them. They have been working hard on this release and it delivers. Also, one song "Forget You", features a performance by Clint Lowery of Sevendust on lead guitar. If you Like Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace and Red you need to check out Digital Summer! 4.5 out of 5 stars | Downshifter |

Misson To Lars![]() | This is a film About Tom, He has a type of Autism called Fragile X Syndrome. He has had a goal for over a decade ...The Goal is to meet Lars Ulrich the Drummer of Metallica. His siblings Kate, and Will set out to make this goal happen. Their Only Obstacle is Tom. This is not a film about Metallica, it is a film about Tom.

Behind the scenes would be Will, who manages to capture the entire journey on film, and could be the best brother one would want.

| Mark Tremonti All I Was ![]() | Mark Tremonti possibly constrained in his formula band Creed, or fan favorite AlterBridge does not hold back or sandbag on his first solo effort. A progression, as he is at a place and time were he can return to his roots. This can be heard on All I Was in his guitar shredding, as well as his first crack as a front man, vocally and lyrically. This CD is epic, awesome, and simply has a confidence about it. All 12 tracks are killer and no filler. The solos, the drums, and the vocals all flow, groove, and will blow you away. The band is tight, like a band should be - like a band of brothers.

| Chevelle Hats Off To The Bull ![]() | Unless you've somehow totally avoided FM radio for the past decade, odds are you're familiar with the Rock band CHEVELLE. Their latest album, HATS OFF TO THE BULL, definitely has it's share of memorable songs. The album's debut single, "Face To The Floor," dominated the Active Rock chart at the #1 spot for over 10 weeks. Regardless if you're a long-time fan or just discovering their music, you can't go wrong with CHEVELLE's 6th studio album. | Corey |
| The Cult Choice Of Weapon ![]() | Bottom line, The Cult are back! This album is bad ass! Kind of complicated, and deep. Not easy to define, and may take several listens. You will get it, or you will not. I for one get it, and love this album. Produced by Chris Gross and Bob Rock. The Cult - Choice of Weapon is worth the wait! 4.5 of 5 stars | Downshifter |
| Iron Maiden En Vivo DVD/Blu Ray ![]() | Iron Maiden doing what they do best. Rocking 50 thousand fans in Chile. Great concert video. Great camera work and edit. Also, they use the split screen style like they did in the original Flight of Icarus music video. As good as the concert is, the documentary on the tour on the second disk is a must watch for even a non maiden fan. 4.5 of 5 stars | Downshifter |
| Demon Lung Pareidolia ![]() | This 4 song self produced debut from one of our local Vegas Bands recently came across my desk, and I was blown away on how Bad Ass this band is. Their sound is unique in this cookie cutter crap core we have all been subjected to. Doom Metal with Killer Guitar work, and Percussion that grooves, it all just simply works together.

| Adestria Chapters ![]() | Think of your typical metalcore band. Now add in ridiculously epic guitar solos, thicker screams, breathtaking bass, and steady switching between clean and screaming vocals, and you have the new album Chapters by Adestria. Instead of having boring breakdowns constantly, the members of Adestria deliver opera-like background vocals and Chapters is the CD that any metalcore, screamo, and even a heavy metal fan will enjoy. 4.5 of 5 stars | Jess |
Flying Colors![]() | Not sure what to make of this. Great players, great musicians, great production, but it simply falls flat to me and leads to nothing. I do not expect great things from this band or album. Sorry, honesty sometimes hurts. 2 of 5 stars | Downshifter |
| Overkill The Electric Age ![]() | My favorite release of this year so far, Thrash at its finest! Epic Vocals, Riffage, Bass, And Drumming. The FULL Package. Not easy to put a finger on it, but it fuckin rips, all 10 tracks, ending with an Epic track in "Good Night". 5 of 5 stars | Downshifter |
