Megadeth has a new album coming out. I have to say that I haven’t been terribly impressed with Megadeth’s latest albums. They usually contained a couple of good songs along with a bunch of filler. Needless to say I’m not super hyped about this new album but the first song they’ve released from it, Fatal Illusion, is pretty decent. I’m not sure why Mustaine decided to add heavy effects to his voice and I really hope it doesn’t appear in every song but otherwise it has a pretty good sound. Have a listen and judge for yourself.

Ready to start the week off with some badass Swedish industrial metal? Yes? Good! Because that’s what we’re listening to.

It’s Labor Day so I wasn’t expecting to post much but decided to give you guys a Monday Metal to celebrate the official released of Iron Maiden’s new album, The Book of Souls. Since I had to drive back to my parent’s place this weekend I had plenty of time to enjoy the new album. It’s a masterpiece. Seriously. In my opinion the album rivals Brave New World and A Matter of Life and Death.

Of all the songs Empire of Clouds, the 18 minute song that closes the second “disc” (I obtained my copy via Apple Music so no discs were actually involved). It’s about the ill-fated R101 airship.

Now you’re probably wondering where the song is. Good question! It seems YouTube’s copyright infringement algorithm has become exceedingly ruthless. I found one good post of the song but noticed it was taken down before this post was scheduled to go live. Since I really didn’t have time or desire to grab another song I decided to leave this post up as a testament to shitty copyright laws and a solid album that is worth your money.

This week we’re going to listen to something from Bruce Dickinson’s solo career:

The greatest band in the world, Iron Maiden (hopefully defining that wasn’t required), is on the verge of releasing a new album titled The Book of Souls. Speed of Light is the first single released from that album and in true Iron Maiden fashion it’s a geeky song about video games:

There’s no school like old school so here’s some Grave Digger:

What do you get when a bunch of Sabaton’s musicians are unable to cope with the band’s extensive touring and decided to form their own band? Civil War. Civil War is another awesome power metal band that derives most of its lyrics from history. Their latest album is pretty bad ass and I think Bay of Pigs is probably the best song on it:
