The Elephant in the Room – Self Titled
This is a professional sounding album with some mighty fine musicians including the man himself. Varying from easy listening to full on guitar wizardry.

Dark Horse White Horse – Dark Horse White Horse
It’s metal enough to set against your neighbors, dramatic enough to be performed on an Opera stage and experimental enough to bend genres just about enough to avoid being boxed into any category.
Bruit ≤ – The machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again
This is one of the best debut albums you’re going to listen to, and while still too early, it will not be surprising if it gets “best of the year” nominations.
The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
What we have here, is a very enjoyable hour of multi genre, multi-faceted, captivating progressive power metal. A modern metal epic that maintains the best aspects of each style and component.
Suburban Savages – Demagogue Days
To sum up, “Demagogue Days” is a breath of fresh air, it makes you want to dance and sing, it brightens your day and it gives you something better than normal!
