_{“Insanity” is the second album from Italian rockers Sixty Miles Ahead and it was released on 21st October by Eclipse Records. The band has quite a distinct sound with a somewhat “American” vibe, which perhaps explains them being picked up by New Jersey based Eclipse Records. The track “Dirt And Lust” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st October.}

_{Norwegian band Darkest Sins released their second album “The Broken” via Pride & Joy Music on 21st October. The band formed in 2009 and features both a male and female vocalist who share the lead. I hadn’t heard anything by the band prior to receiving the album via GerMusica PR and I really liked what I heard. Darkest Sins are referred to as a “melodic metal” band, but I’m not convinced that their sound is as easily labelled as that – I’m no expert on (or fan of) of genre labels though! The track “Darkest Sins” from the album was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st October.}
