Honorable Mention:
Stryper “Soldiers Under Command”
I rarely like re-recorded versions of old classics. It is just usually a “why bother?” thing for me. If Ozzy redid “No More Tears” with Gus G. other than a live version you’d kind of scratch your head. Props then to Christian metal unfair punching bag Stryper (who I love) for managing to kill it on the majority of their redone hits on the The Second Coming. Michael Sweet still sounds, um, sweet and the songs are a blast!
Ok, y’all. A lot left to look forward to this year. Nachtmystium are almost done with a sick new black metal record. Huntress are getting more popular everyday. Fall is just around the corner and Saxon is even touring soon with Fozzy! I don’t wanna hear any excuses if any of you dorks skip out on that.
Until we meet again…eat some dizzle tacos!
