_{Rage of Angels, the band created by Ged Rylands formerly of Ten and now of Tyketto, release their second album, entitled “The Devil’s New Tricks” through Escape Music on 26th February. I was a big fan of the debut album “Dreamworld” that was released in February 2013 and was looking forward to hearing what the new album had to offer. I wasn’t to be disappointed. Whilst the first album featured a number of singers including Danny Vaughn, Harry Hess and Ralph Scheepers, the lead vocals on “The Devil’s New Tricks” are solely the responsibility of Rob Moratti and he does an outstanding job.}

THEY are on the more unusual arm of metal sub-genres, with their 'metal a capella' sound of just voices and drums, but there is something compelling about Van Canto.

As you may know were enjoyed their last release (review is here). but the band are taking it to the next level when on March 11th they release their new album 'Voices of Fire' on earMusic

THRASH. It seems that not a day goes by that some label or PR agency sends us an album that is labelled thrash metal, and to be honest a lot are not fit to lace the shoes of the 80s generation thrash bands.

So, when another album is received we tend to approach it with some degree of caution, especially when accompanied by the usual hyperbole.

Such was the case when Finnish band, Lost Society, had their album plonked on to the decks at Metal
