_{Spanish metal band Kilmara released their fourth album, “Across The Realm of Time”, through Rock of Angels Records (ROAR!) on 31st August. It is the first album from the band to feature new singer Dani Ponce; and also the first featuring a new guitarist and bass player as only two of the founding members remain from the line-up on the last album in 2014! I included the track “Out Fom The Darkness” on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 14th August and “I Shall Rise Again” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 31st August.}

_{“Never Say Never” is the debut album from Germany based band DeVicious and it was released on 24th August via Pride & Joy Music. The band features musicians from Germany, Spain and Serbia who have all worked with other artists and bands over the years. In 2016 they formed the band DeVicious in Karlsruhe with the aim of playing 80’s inspired rock. I included the track “Everything” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 3rd August.}

_{“By Hook Or By Crook” is the second full length album from Norwegian metal band Shotgun Rodeo and it was released on 24th August by Mighty Music. It’s a little heavier than a lot of the other albums that I’ve posted recommendations for recently, but the band have a distinctive sound that appeals to me! I included the excellent track “Tony Iommi” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 20th July.}
