Turisas - Turisas2013 (SOtD CMXIX)

Turisas2013 is the fourth album of the Finnish Folk Metal band Turisas.
When I heard the album name, months ago, I thought it was a public announcement of a change in the band - this is the Turisas of 2013, not the Turisas from the previous albums. And I was right.
This is definitely different from the previous albums. For better or worse, you decide.
Although good, I think it was a step back, but many bands need a step back before they leap forward. Let's hope this is the case.

Mercenary - Through Our Darkest Days

Deadlock - The Arsonist (SOtD CMV)

Deadlock is not an unanimous band, and many classify their last albums as weak.
I actually liked their last album, Bizarro World, and also the new one, The Arsonist, the sixth full-length in the German Melodic Death Metal band's career.

Deadlock - I'm Gone

The band would only excel in their next album, Land Of The Free, but this album already had a few great songs.

It contains my all time favorite Anthrax song - Only.

Clawfinger - Deaf Dumb Blind (1993) (SOtD DCCCXCVI)

The proof that Nu-Metal can sound great when it's well done, which is a rare event.

Skyclad - Jonah's Ark (1993) (SOtD DCCCXCV)
