8th album by Alestorm. The group brings music that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is simple; have fun and laugh, and don’t be so serious all the time. Yet also complex; the way the pace of the music changes within a song, the composition is extraordinary.

9. When The Angels Bleed
3rd album by Achelous. Picking up where the last album, 'The Icewind Chronicles', left off, Achelous gets right to it, doling out mighty riffs with an absolutely crushing guitar tone. Oriental touches mix with wonderful female vocals, folk passages that strongly strengthen the epic element, heavy metal at its best as we learned and love it.

10. Into The Madness
3rd album by Medieval Steel. The band sounds sharp and tight, vocalist Bobby Franklin can still get it done, and that classic US metal sound is solidly in place. That said, the songwriting is weaker this time out, with more repetition and vocal lines that are not as good to start with and don't benefit from being repeated too many times. This is not a bad album, but it can't match what this band has done before.

10. Coming Home
Debut album by Captain Hawk, a project by Bob Katsionis (Outloud, ex-Firewind, etc.) and Elina Egglezou (Goditha). It’s very much the kind of album, a rock opera, that works best when treated as a whole, and with lyrics on hand, as the story and vocal performances (7 different vocalists) are the highlights, followed closely by the folk and symphonic elements, while the metal portions are well done.

6th album by Innerwish, 8 years after their last one. There’s plenty of variation to the Innerwish sound on 'Ash Of Eternal Flame', with the band intelligently sticking to an energetic melodic power metal for the majority of the album, a style that suits them perfectly and means track after track of enthralling, intriguing metal songs dominate this splendid album.

15th album by Flotsam & Jetsam. It is a thrash metal juggernaut that delivers unrelenting sonic assaults.

17th album by Riot V, 6 years after their last one. Their riffs sound fresh and classic at the same time, the playing is sharp and energetic, and it is remarkable how much current vocalist Todd Micheal Hall sounds like Tony Moore did on Thundersteel and The Privilege of Power, clean and melodic.

9th album by Crystal Viper. Even though thematically 'The Cult' (the previous album) and 'The Silver Key' are related, the latter showcases a band sounding heavier, with more aggressive riffs, but with the vocals being the proud common denominator.

9th album by Tyr, 5 years after their last one. This album has full orchestration with it and is a little less progressive then previous works. Tthe inclusion of those classical elements that really allow the folk metal on display here to become grandiose, rich in detail and downright moving as the riffs and immense melodies do their work immediately.

If you like classic metal that avoids clichés, yet reminds of the genre’s greats, you may have found your new favorite band here.

4th album by Solitary Sabred. Although the band mixes several influences, primarily Sanctuary and Merciful Fate, Solitary Sabred created their own identity. The sound is clear, and the energy is on the highest level. The variety of astonishing guitar duels combined with epic vocal lines and epic multi layered approach of lyrics writing are simply amazing.

The vocals of Artur Almeida continue to be uncannily Bruce-like and the guitar work from Bob Katsionis and John McRis dig deep into the Murray/Smith/Gers book of souls for inspiration and tricks.
