There have been some mighty months for metal over the past
year or so, and April looks to be no different, with promised releases from
Scandinavian heavyweights Sonata Arctica and Engel, as well as – yes, you guessed

third solo album in as many years. This
being the first month of the blog, there won’t be any promises as to who

current releases included, alongside some noteworthy albums from recent times…
