For the Record

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl

Howl is the sound of a band stepping away from distortion and discovering something older, dustier, and more spiritual underneath. After two albums of feedback-drenched garage rock, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club pivoted hard—trading fuzz pedals for acoustic guitars, gospel harmonies, harmonica, and blues-rooted storytelling.

Dead Alive - The Madness of Dr. Ludvig Von Brainmatter
Dead Alive - The Madness of Dr. Ludvig Von Brainmatter

Rising from the dark corners of Nashville’s underground — Dead Alive, a horror thrash metal band that fuses the fury of classic thrash with the twisted spirit of old-school horror cinema.

The Format - Boycott Heaven
The Format - Boycott Heaven

Boycott Heaven captures The Format at their most melodically restless and emotionally theatrical. Known for pairing aching vulnerability with sharp pop instincts, the band leans into contrast here—big, sky-reaching choruses set against lyrics that question faith, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves to cope.

Michelle David & The True-tones - Soul Woman
Michelle David & The True-tones - Soul Woman

Soul Woman is a radiant, groove-soaked affirmation of identity and power. Michelle David & The True-tones channel classic ’60s and ’70s soul through a modern lens, delivering a record that feels both reverent and alive—vintage in texture, urgent in spirit.

Motely Crue - Theatre of Pain
Motely Crue - Theatre of Pain

Theatre of Pain is the sound of excess turning theatrical. Released at the height of glam metal’s neon dominance, this third album finds Mötley Crüe leaning harder into image, melody, and arena-sized hooks—while the shadows of loss and chaos linger just beneath the makeup.

Prince - Around The World In A Day
Prince - Around The World In A Day

Around the World in a Day is Prince doing the exact opposite of what the world expected—and doing it on purpose. Coming off the nuclear success of Purple Rain, this album could have been a victory lap.

Megadeath - Megadeath
Megadeath - Megadeath

After 43 years of blasting riffs, razor-sharp solos, and some of thrash metal’s most iconic moments, Megadeth’s self-titled 17th studio album, Megadeth, arrived on January 23, 2026 as the band’s final album.
