“Purgatorio” is the third album from Swedish band Manimal (not to be confused with the French death metal band of the same name) and it was released on 7th September via AFM Records. The band name always reminds me of the awful TV series from the 80’s, but thankfully the music is of a much better quality and this is actually the second album recommendation that I’ve posted for this band. The single “Manimalized” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 17th August and the title track is on the Show this week.
“Black Coffee” is the second album from Danish hard rock band Junkyard Drive and it was released on 1st September by Mighty Music. This is the follow-on to “Sin & Tonic” which was released last year and the band has been busy over the past 18 months touring, playing festivals and recording! The single “Sweet Little Dreamer” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th June and then on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 7th August.

Californian power metal band Helion Prime released their second album, “Terror of the Cybernetic Space Monster”, through AFM Records on 31st August. I’d almost post a recommendation just to get mentioning that awesome title, but in reality this is an album well worth checking out for the nine tracks that it features! The title track is actually a seventeen minute epic, but I still might include it on a Show sometime! Instead, I included “A King Is Born” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 31st August.

“Road To Disorder” is the second album from Danish band I’ll Be Damned and it was released on 31st August via Drakkar Entertainment. Promoted as Denmark’s hottest rock sensation since Volbeat, I’ll Be Damned deliver their own brand of music meshing together a variety of metal / rock sub-genres. I featured the track “You Are The Young” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st September.
