Fast forward about a year and my bro Chuck picks up a copy of Bloody Kisses and we grab a cold twelve and head to the sticks to ride around and give it a listen. Again, I'm not blown away but not totally turned off by it either.

I wasn't able to get this finished last night so here ya go.

I often profess my love for Skeletonwitch so it should come as no surprise that their new album Forever Abomination makes the "Metal Pick" list.

In Solitude is the latest band brewing up some old-school metal to bust out of Scandinavia and they're worthy of every bit of praise that's been heaped on them.
