Welcome to March and the new releases are heating up. We have a ton this week so there has to be something you like in there, I am sure. If not, I guarantee nothing!! There is rock, metal, pop, country, rap, classic rock…what else could you need? Seriously, what else?? Let me know what I missed and what floats your boat. For me, the two are highlighted in Blue. Have a great weekend!!
Harem Scarem – Change the World – (Frontiers Records): Yes, Harem Scarem are still going strong with a new release. This is their 16th studio album…wow!! If you know the band, you know what you are getting. Solid, melodic rock and only the way they know how. That is all you want from these guys. Give it a try.
Allen / Olzon – Worlds Apart – (Frontiers Records): You get Symphony X’s and Adrenaline Mob’s Russel Allen and Nightwish’s Anette Olzon teaming up for an album. Does it get much better than that? Probably, but for now, I will give it a try as it is two great voices of metal together. Deserves a listen.
And that is pretty much it for me, but don’t despair, there are a bunch below to choose from…give them a try.
Lauv – ∼How I’m Feeling∼ – (AWAL Recordings) – My daughters will probably dig this one.
Lauren Alaina – Getting Good E.P. – (19/Mercury Nashville)
Moby – All Visible Objects – (Little Idiot / Mute Artists)
Body Count – Carnivore – (Century Media Records)
The Game – Born 2 Rap – (Urban / Entertainment One)
Silverstein – A Beautiful Place to Drown – (UNFD)
Semblant – Obscura – (Frontiers Records)
Khymera – Master of Illusions – (Frontiers Records)
Burning Witches – Dance With the Devil – (Nuclear Blast)
My Dying Bride – The Ghost of Orion – (Nuclear Blast)
Rory Gallagher – Check Shirt Wizard: Live in ’77 – (UMC)
Blue Oyster Cult – 40th Anniversary Agents of Fortune Live 2016 – (Frontiers Music)
Phantogram – Ceremony – (Republic Records /UMG)
Mandy Moore – Silver Landings – (Verve Forecast / UMG)

Already got the new Harem on the iPod ready 2 go John. Like you say they always deliver and nice to see them get top billing on New Release Friday!
Just preordered both those Lep live albums from the Vegas and the O2 Arena as well. Lots of Live Leppard coming now as for years they avoided live albums.
As always thanks for keeping up up to date on new albums!

The Harem one is great. Listened to it this morning and it made the drive go by quickly!! Just the way I like it!

Well Harem is the one for me, I just have to wait for it to be released in Japan! But that’s a done deal…once you have all the albums in the box set like we do, why stop now?

My Dying Bride for me but… there’s so much coming out that I need cash for, I might hold off. And it’s just a vanilla CD edition anyway so no rush. I can buy it anytime.

Do you get record shows very often? Monthly thing? Been a while since I’ve been to one.

I think that might be about the same here. Maybe a bit more… I quite fancy going to them more often.

There are a surprising number of releases this week from artists I thought had retired long ago. Not sure we needed comebacks from Moby, Bodycount or the Game. But I guess someone must still be interested?

Nothing there for me this week. Bah.
