One of my longstanding favorite metal bands from the 1980s -
Raven - has recently released their new album,
ExtermiNation, and for anyone with any doubts about whether the Gallagher brothers + Joe Hasselvander still rock as hard as they did back in the 1980s (true, it was a different drummer prior to '87) or as they did with their more recent (2010)
Walk Through Fire. . . its clear that the answer is a resounding Yes! (In fact, I'd go so far as to suggest that the affirmative needs to be accompanied by some quick headbanging and a double moloch.)
I'm extremely fortunate to have a fellow metalhead in my wife -- it
means that I not only get to play a variety of metal without enduring
groans of complaints at home, not only that I get encouraged to write in
this very blog, but also that I have a hot companion who enjoys live
acts as much as I do. Both of us have been eagerly awaiting this new release together -- for two interconnected reasons.
