Featured Rock Albums
2012
Baroness
– Yellow & Green
Baroness was exploring what heaviness means when it’s no longer about volume. Some listeners missed the brawn. Others found a different kind of weight—the kind that lingers in your throat, not your chest. It’s a gutsy, sometimes meandering sprawl.
1982
Judas Priest
– Screaming for Vengeance
Screaming for Vengeance is more than a vessel for “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’.” It’s a full-blown declaration of purpose. Priest doesn’t just play heavy metal—they pour it, molten and glowing, into anthems that still sound like a boot in the teeth four decades later.
