"Bloodstone & Diamonds", the new album from San Francisco Bay area metallers Machine Head, can be streamed in its entirety below.

Due on November 10 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the CD was produced by Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn and Juan Urteaga, and like the last seven of eight Machine Head albums, was masterfully mixed by Colin Richardson. Additional tracking, editing, and mixing was done with Andy Sneap and Steve Lagudi.

Regarding the musical direction of "Bloodstone & Diamonds", Flynn told Metal Hammer magazine: "There's definitely a lot of urgency on this record. It's a really heavy record arid there's a dark and evil vibe to a lot of it, but I feel like there's more of a rock vibe in there too. It's stripped down at times, and I like that. I think that sense of urgency has carried over from the demos we did, which were all done very quickly and spontaneously. We tried to keep that spontaneous vibe on the album."


"Bloodstone & Diamonds" track listing:

01. Now We Die
02. Killers & Kings
03. Ghosts Will Haunt My Bones
04. Night Of Long Knives
05. Sail Into The Black
06. Eyes Of The Dead
07. Beneath The Silt
08. In Comes The Flood
09. Damage Inside
10. Game Over
11. Imaginal Cells (instrumental)
12. Take Me Through The Fire

Anabioz - There The Sun Falls (2014)

After their debut album back in 2006 (Through darkness) and their second album in 2010 (To light) the folk metal band from Russia released this year their third album.

"There the sun falls" is the name of this album and this is a very good effort. Possible guitars with wonderful folk elements (violin simply enchants) dress to the songs and the stunning adaptation of the traditional Irish song “The maid that sold her barley”.

Hardly any song stands a bit but if you are going to say that s song is a little bit better than the others , we would say the “Dance, Dance”. An excellent proposal from Russia !!

80/100

Band:

Olga "Helga" - vocal, violin

Anton "JaZzZ" - vocal, guitar

Damir "Mystic" - guitar

Alexey "Alexis" – bass
