Wanna know what recently released album has psyched-me-out-of-my-Rock-‘N-Metal-mind? Just look at the above album cover! No, it’s not just the cover that has me psyched; it’s the Hard Rockin’ sonic bliss that The Darkness are playing on Hot Cakes that has put me in such a whirlwind of glee! What an album of instantly memorable songs!
This is the third studio album from this amazingly fun British band from Lowestoft and it’s a gem to feed my ears with. This Hot Cakes album has me believing that good, old-fashioned Glam/Hard Rock is alive and well once again. Do yourself a favor and buy Hot Cakes, especially if you like your Hard Rock that kicks the politically correct school of thought right in the ass!
It’s hard to believe we will be entering October tomorrow! To me, it feels like Summer was put on fast forward. With that said, I am a huge fan of Autumn and the spooky swirls of Halloween. With Halloween falling on a Wednesday (hump day) this year, it will obviously fall within two days of two weekends. I imagine that’s pretty cool, especially if you’re planning a Halloween party; you’ll basically have two weekends to choose from for your ghoulish get-together!
Once Autumn and the Halloween season begins, there are select bands and/or albums that I’ll gravitate to all the more for those creepy Rockin’ vibes! One such band is Helloween and their 1985 full-length debut: Walls Of Jericho. A Helloween classic and a classic within the pages of Heavy Metal history, this album is, in my Metal opinion.
Everything about DANZIG just screams Halloween. Seriously. From Glenn’s music, to his band logo and album artwork. I once encountered a wise-old Metal troll along a treacherous and densely wooded path in the Northern woods of Pennsylvania. This troll stated to me: “Stone, y-y-you best g-g-get some DANZIG into y-y-your F’n ears d-d-during Halloween s-s-season.” I’ll have to admit, that wise-old Metal troll was no dumb-ass.
Other albums and bands that I’ll listen to in ushering in the Halloween season: King Diamond, the 1970 debut and self-titled album from Black Sabbath, MISFITS, Iron Maiden (especially their first 3 albums), White Zombie, Rob Zombie, Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse, Zombiefication, Angel Witch, Satyricon and… well, you get the Metal point!
Here’s a Metal news item of importance for all you REVERENCE fans out in Europe:
As reported on REVERENCE facebook on September 29th:
“Reverence Cancel’s European Tour: To all the fans, promoters and venues, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we are being forced to cancel our upcoming European tour. We were looking forward to playing for our fans and making new ones. This is something we don’t take halfheartedly and want you to know this is not the end of Reverence, we will definitely be heading to Europe in 2013. Although this seems like bad news we are taking this opportunity to begin writing new material for the next release and various other things to be heading your way in the months to come.”
Stone Says: REVERENCE is such a grand Classic Metal band! True Metal. If you haven’t picked up their debut album, When Darkness Calls, you are hereby told to do so! REVERENCE has easily earned themselves the “top-spot” for Greatest Metal Surprise Of 2012. Metal be thy name.

REVERENCE – The debut album, When Darkness Calls, from the Power Metal supergroup REVERENCE was released back on May 31st, via Razar Ice Records. Based out of Detroit, Michigan, REVERENCE has caused quite a welcomed Metal stir within our beloved Metal community; since their formation in early 2010. This album of traditional Power Metal songs has received critically acclaimed reviews from across the Metal spectrum of webzines, magazines and blogs alike.
REVERENCE was founded by guitarist and songwriter Bryan Holland (Tokyo Blade, Arrest) and vocalist Todd Michael Hall (Jack Starr’s Burning Starr). The legendary Steve Wacholz is behind the kit, (founding member of Crimson Glory and the ultra legendary Savatage). Bassist Ned Meloni has played with Jack Starr’s Burning Starr and Funny Money.
Take a listen and look below to the official video for Too Late, a featured track from When Darkenss Calls; a psych-scorching, guitar driven, vocal soaring, traditional-laced Power Metal song with an earthshaking rhythm section! If you’ve been searching around for some True Metal today… you’ve found it here with REVERENCE. Did I mention that I really dig this song yet?
Ring that REVERENCE True Metal bell and tell all the posers to go to hell. Metal be thy name.
Todd Michael Hall – Vocals
Bryan Holland – Guitar
