Take Over and Destroy - Endless Night
Review by Mike Heitzman
Take Over and Destroy (TOAD) hails from Tempe, Arizona and has put together this really classic sounding release that has essences of both old school metal blended with newer European black metal.

More
Tang - Blood & Sand
Review by Gary Hill
I like this disc quite a bit.

More
Tank - Re-ignition
Review by Gary Hill
There is a good reason the songs on this disc feel very much in line with old-school metal. These are modern versions of Tank songs from the 80s.

More
Tarot - Glimpse of the Dawn
Review by Gary Hill
These guys are getting pushed as a progressive rock band. There are some parts that have prog leanings for sure. I just don't see that label fitting, though.

More
Brian Tarquin - & Heavy Friends - Brothers In Arms
Review by Gary Hill
I have reviewed several of these charity works from Brian Tarquin. They are all guitar heavy releases.

More
TDW - The Antithetic Affiliation
Review by Gary Hill
The main person behind this project is a guy named Tom de Wit. He's responsible for the songwriting along with guitars, keys and vocals.

More
Terror - One With The Underdogs
Review by Patrick Hennen
If I had to describe this disc in one word, I'd say… "Can't" In order for me to describe this I would say…. "Extremely energetic, explosive, violent, aggressive, and at times, just plain mean!"
More
Theocracy - As the World Bleeds
Review by Gary Hill
These guys are a metal band from Georgia who sound more like a European epic metal band.

More
Thine Eyes Bleed - In The Wake Of Separation
Review by Patrick Hennen
Well, well, well, if you were looking for metal to keep your neighbors awake, make your parents flip out, and give you permanent neck damage: this would be the disc to do it.
More
Thor - Only the Strong: Deluxe Edition
Review by Gary Hill
I suppose the easiest comparison here would be to say that Thor is like Manowar.

More
Thor - Unchained
Review by Gary Hill
This vintage Thor album is getting the reissue treatment here.

More
Thor - Metal Avenger
Review by Gary Hill
The latest disc from Thor features a lot of exceptional guests.

More
Thor - Beyond the Pain Barrier
Review by Gary Hill
This is the new disc from Thor. That's the metal act, not the actual God of Thunder or related Marvel Comics superhero.

More
Thor - Electric Eyes
Review by Gary Hill
This album was recorded in 1979 but never released until now. Thor is generally considered a heavy metal artist, but also leans toward punk rock.

More
Thor - Christmas in Valhalla
Review by Gary Hill
Thor is a rock and roll superhero whose music often lands somewhere in the territory between heavy metal and punk rock. For this new holiday set, it's more firmly in the metal zone.

More
Thor - Hammer of Justice
Review by Gary Hill
This new CD from Thor comes with a documentary on DVD. The music on the CD has a good range between old-school metal and punk driven sound.

More
3000 AD - The Void
Review by Gary Hill
This band is being promoted as a thrash metal act but with a crossover edge. If that crossover means to punk and particularly hardcore, I would agree.

More
Throwdown - Vendetta
Review by Mike Korn
Throwdown play forceful, angry music that is quite basic on the surface, but which makes tremendous impact due to the conviction behind it. These guys realize that it is heart and conviction that make a hardcore band truly outstanding.

More
Thy Catafalque - Geometria
Review by Mike Korn
Tamas Katai is the mind behind Thy Catafalque and he’s the very definition of a musical explorer. This is a man who creates without regard for genre or convention.

More
Glenn Tipton - Baptizm of Fire
Review by Gary Hill
This first solo album by Judas Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton is a fine piece of work. It takes the Priest sounds one expects to find here and updates them, bringing new angles and directions to them.

More
TKO - Total Knock Out: The Complete TKO
Review by Gary Hill
This band might not be a tight fit under heavy metal. A lot of times they are closer to Nazareth style hard rock. In fact, a lot of this really does sound like Nazareth to me.

More
Tokyo Blade - Knights of the Blade
Review by Gary Hill
This new four CD box set is a great way for people to get a quick education on the music of Tokyo Blade.

More
Tokyo Blade - Fury
Review by Gary Hill
The latest disc from Tokyo Blade, this was recorded during Covid lockdown. There are some particularly strong songs here.

More
Tool - Lateralus
Review by Gary Hill
Tool quite probably get lumped by many in the Nu-metal category. That fits to a degree, but as this album shows, the group are not good at being tied down to one musical label.

More
The Tracy G Group - Tramp
Review by Gary Hill
Tracy G is best known for his work in Dio's band. Don't expect this to sound like Dio, though.

More
Trail of Murder - Shades of Art
Review by Gary Hill
This is a pretty awesome metal album.

More
Treyharsh - Eternal Cycles
Review by Gary Hill
The metal on this album is brutal, and the vocals are extreme. It has some strong music on the set.

More
Trita - The Good Night
Review by Gary Hill
The modern metal sounds on this are mostly aggressive and raw. I mean that in a good way.

More
Trita - Tunguskan
Review by Gary Hill
I previously reviewed another set from this act and landed it under heavy metal. I'm putting this set in that category, too, but it could almost fit under progressive rock, as well.

More
Tröjan - The Complete Tröjan & Taliön Recordings – 84 – 90, 5CD Box Set
Review by Gary Hill
This collection of recordings from speed metal band Tröjan is unusual. First, I need to apologize for the cover photo I've used.

More
Joe Lynn Turner - The Sessions
Review by Gary Hill
This is essentially a compilation disc of cover tunes from Joe Lynn Turner.

More
Twelfth Gate - Summoning
Review by Mike Korn
We are not very far into 2003 but we already have a candidate for album of the year. Twelfth Gate and their debut "Summoning" have burst out of nowhere (Chicago, actually) with a furious rush.

More
Twisted Sister - Live at Wacken The Reunion
Review by Greg Olma
This CD/DVD set is real value for your money. The DVD is 105 minutes and contains their Wacken performance in 2003 along with a whole host of TV spots and behind the scenes footage.
More
Ty Morn - Last Villain Testament
Review by Gary Hill
This album has a great classic metal sound. It has s lot of symphonic and epic metal in the mix.
