April 3-9 Weekly Metal Recommendations
Starting this year I will no longer being do a comprehensive list of all releases. If you need even more metal in your life, I get all my info from https://www.metal-archives.com/ from which you can find upcoming releases, and from http://metalstorm.net/home/, from which you can find both upcoming and past releases although it is not as complete of a list compared to metal-archives.)
(I’m still using the rating system from our “New Releases” list although I will likely no longer be listing anything below a +2 unless it comes from a very well known band)
-1 - not for me or just bad
+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good
+1 - worth checking out if you like the style
+2 - interest peaked
+3 going on my buy list
+4 already bought or pre-ordered

Band: Primal Fear
Release: I Will Be Gone EP
Style: Heavy, acoustic rock

(I didn’t like the song before and as much as I love Tarja I still don’t like it. The rest of the EP isn’t that good either. I only liked two of the songs and they were only mediocre.)

Style: “melodic heavy metal” (It’s a bit progressive and a bit symphonic)
+3

Style: Progressive Melodic Death, Progressive Death/Doom
+3
Band: Dalriada
Release: Őszelő
