2025 Resolution: Listen to more Live Albums.
2026 Resolution: Listen to Sophmore Albums.
What an amazing second album Nightmare Logic is from Power Trip. Tragically this would be Riley Gale's last album due to his death. This album is so raw and powerful, just a great album. #PowerTrip

It's very hard not to compare this sophomore album from Exhorder to another band in the Thrash/Groove metal scene from the early 90's. The Law is a fantastic album if you need that sound! Definitely feel that Exhorder is underappreciated. #Exhorder

Debut album from Denmark's Hellmaze. Album is titled Dead Flesh Rising and is a nice Modern Thrash album. I enjoyed the songs Slave, Killing Time, & K.F.T. and look forward to what they do moving forward. Great sense of humor as well with the song Moshpit Bukkake. #Hellmaze

Think I'll keep the NWOBHM music going. Killers is the last Iron Maiden album with Paul Di'Anno as the lead singer. This sophomore album is outstanding in every way. I do come back to this album quite often, always worth the listen. #IronMaiden

Deep dive with the band Samson and their album Head On. Bruce Dickinson is lead vocals before his stint in Iron Maiden. Vice Versa, Hunted, & Angel With A Machine Gun are some standouts for me. Check out Thuderburst and then list to Maiden's Ides of March. #Samson

I absolutely love the Alice In Chains album Dirt, great sophomore album. The grunge band that the metalheads could still call theirs. This is one of those albums that is great from the first song to the last. No skips! #AliceInChains

Amazing record, Louder Than Love, that was the precursor to Badmotorfinger. This is my favorite era of Soundgarden because they sounded so heavy. Big Dumb Sex is a standout on this one. #Soundgarden

Megadeth & the final studio album, which is self-titled. I tried hard to love this album as it's supposed to be the last one. Another Bad Day is a good song I enjoyed. Their cover of Metallica's, Ride The Lightning, is a full circle moment & is awesome. Overall I think the album is mid. ##Megadeth

New album from Poppy dropped today titled Empty Hands. I think a lot of her fans will be happy with this album. I really liked the songs Guardian, Dying To Forget, & Eat The Hate. Solid album. #Poppy

Keeping the trash going with Death Angel. Such a great band with lots of great songs. Frolic Through The Park is their sophomore album and is not necessarily beloved by the band. I think it sounds great! #DeathAngel

Great 2nd album from Nuclear Assault with Survive. Another band that I feel doesn't get enough love. Pure thrash at its finest. #NuclearAssault

Sepultura and the album Schizophrenia. I think this album gets slept on because the next 4 albums are so great. That time frame of the 80's has a lot of great metal albums that helped define a genre. #Sepultura

The second album from Death is one of their most influential albums, Leprosy. Absolutely amazing, heavy, & fast. The title tracks starts this album off and doesn't quit! #Death

Changing gears a little with some Deathcore from the band Ov Sulfur. The new album is Endless and it's fantastic. I've been listening to Vast Eternal for a while now since it was on their EP from late last year. Definitely worth the listen! #OvSulfur

Brand new album from Kreator with that German thrash metal sound. Album is called Krushers Of The World and is a banger. Love the tracks Satanic Anarchy & Tranenpalast a lot. Definitely adding them to my liked songs list. #Kreator

I'm going to go with the second album under the name Lamb of God. The self titled Burn The Priest album is technically the first album but I'm going with the actual albums after the name change. That said, this album is so heavy! #LambOfGod

Taking Over by Overkill is the second studio album and was released in 1987. Overkill has always been an underrated band in my opinion. They consistently put out new music and are tour dogs! Wrecking Crew and In Union We Stand are standouts on this. #Overkill

On to Exodus and the album Pleasures Of The Flesh. This one almost feels like a debut album because of the change in lead singers from the first album. Still scratches that thrash metal itch. Shout out Gary Holt! #Exodus

I love Testament so much. Their sophomore album is The New Order and has a ton of great songs on it. This band can do no wrong for me and has continually put out great records. They also have one of my fav guitarists in @alexskolnick.bsky.social #Testament

New symphonic metal today from Beyond The Black. The album is titled Break the Silence and is their 6th studio albums. Title track, The Art of Being Alone, & (La vie est un)Cinema are standouts songs from this offering. Really enjoyed this. #BeyondTheBlack ##NewMusicFriday

Anthrax with Spreading the Disease is next today. Getting the Big Four done early. This almost feels like a debut album since this is Joey Belladonna's first album as the lead singer. #Anthrax #Resolution

Hell Awaits by Slayer is their second album as I'm not including EP'S in my description of Sophmore albums. I'm really looking at the studio albums more than anything. With that said, what a huge improvement from their first album a sign of things to come from Slayer for sure. #Slayer #Resolution

Peace Sells...but Who's Buying? feels just as raw as the first album from Megadeth. It's still one of my favorites from them and has all that fire and anger that really made me love this band. Most folks know Peace Sells from this but Devils Island is a banger! #Megadeth

Sophomore album from Metallica is Ride The Lightning. Such an amazing album with the band just firing on all cylinders. Half this album is still played live consistently! #Metallica @metallica.com

I'm so glad that i got a chance to see Nine Inch Nails live this year. This live album is titled Live: And All That Could Have Been and is really good. #NIN
