Mark Deutrom - The Blue Bird
An excellent record which gets better and better with every listen. Read this, listen to it, shout about it.

John Garcia doing what John Garcia does. Creating incredibly solid Stoner Rock.
Legion of the Damned - Slaves ...
Thirteen studio records in and Legion Of The Damned are still doing their damn hardest to shred our faces off.
Born Of Osiris - The Simulation
Apparently the first of two new releases for Born Of Osiris this year. Hopefully the next one doesn't induce the same level of headache.
