Californian symphonic metal band Graveshadow release their debut album “Nocturnal Resurrection” through Mausoleum Records on 13th November. This is my second recommendation for a Mausoleum Records release scheduled for 13th November. The previous one was for Jeff Brown’s album “23 Years”, which was at the melodic extreme of my musical tastes. This recommendation for “Nocturnal Resurrection” is probably bordering on the edge of my comfort zone for any kind of metal that involves much growling / screaming. That being said, I took a liking to the album instantly when I checked out the promo link (from our friends at Rock ‘n’ Growl Promotion) before downloading it. The track “Lycan Lust” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show back in September and “Namesake” opened the NI Rocks A-Z Show that was broadcast on 6th October.

“Kingdom of Rock” is the second album from Magnus Karlsson’s Free Fall and it was released on 6th November through Frontiers Records. Magnus Karlsson will be familiar to some as the guitarist in Primal Fear or for his involvement in projects such as the first three Allen/Lande albums and the Kiske/Somerville albums. His first “solo” album “Free Fall” was released in 2013 and, like the new album, it featured a host of guest vocalists. “Kingdom of Rock” includes guest appearances from Tony Harnell (Skid Row), Jorn Lande, Joe Lynn Turner, Tony Martin (Black Sabbath) and Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) etc.
