New Release Highlights: 7th Feb 2020

This is the first of what I am hoping will be weekly blog posts, which will do as it says in the title and focus on the best (in my opinion) and most relevant of the week's new Metal / Rock releases. I won't necessarily have had chance to listen to everything in advance, so I apologise for any lack of quality control. This week's crop is, interestingly, a collection of legendary bands who have all been doing to rounds for many, many years. I have listened them all too. Enjoy!

Sepultura - Quadra

The Brazilian legends release their 15th album this week. Most of you will have already seen my review of this album and will be aware of my thoughts on it, so I won't say any more here, other than this is the album of the week for me.


Napalm Death - Logic Ravaged by Brute Force

Enduring Brummies, Napalm Death are back after a few years of relative silence, with new single, Logic Ravaged by Brute Force. I know that enduring is usually used a metaphor for a band which has seen better days, but I'm using it as a positive. These boys have been around the block for the best part of 4 decades and can still deliver the goods. 


Green Day - Father of all Motherfuckers

Over the past 15 - 20 years Green Day have naturally and organically adopted a more mainstream sound. I have never been a big fan, but Green Day have earned the right to be mentioned on this post, by very virtue of their longevity and continuing popularity. Also because I think this album is rather bloody good! Bonus points too for the title.
