Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy
They continue their metal legacy on this one

Manowar - Hell on Earth IV DVD
As the saga of the loudest metal band is further documented in the highest form.

Black Label Society -Kings of Damnation
Best of compilations are always objective, this one isn't.

Stratovarius -Stratovarius
No complaints about their new musical approach on this one.

Dogpound - A Night in the Gutter
The name might be lean toward a possible rap group, but their sound does not, thankfully, they fuse power pop with metal, and they do it very well.

King's X - Ogre Tones
Now how many years have fans been waiting for a record like this from these guys?

Masterplan -Aeronautics
Jorn Lande, what a vocalist, what a band.

Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
Dark and moody progressive rock, giving Porcupine tree a hell of a run.

Headrush - Headrush
Great hard-edged melodic hard rock, balanced with excellent guitar work and melodies.

Roine Stolt - Wall Street Voodoo
A great record that shows a different, more rock oriented side of this Flower King.
