Guns n' Roses – Chinese Democracy (2008: Geffen)

Axl indulges

down to overdub city

hot mess with glimpses

Toxic Holocaust – An Overdose of Death (2008: Relapse)

thrashing Venom vaults

slightly deathly punk Hellbound

meet today’s retro

Crematory – Pray (2008: Blistering)

Gothly Krauts maintain

high-end blackened melodies

quite listenable

SammyHagar – Cosmic Universal Fashion (2008: Roadrunner)

full on “cause he can”

rocky road of guests buddies

and “screw take two” tracks

Lordi – Deadache (2008: Sony BMG)

Costumed Gwar-corps try

rewriting Coop’s “Poison” as shock

ends as no scare schlock
