Corpus Offal – Corpus Offal

After missing this release last week, it’s time to correct that oversight.

The Darkness – Dreams on Toast

The Darkness continue to keep the spirit of 1970s rock alive with their latest offering. Dreams on Toast leans heavily into theatricality, blurring the lines between homage and parody. However, it’s all delivered with such flair that you’ll find yourself swept up in the fun. For those who appreciate a good fist-pumping anthem, this album is a delightful treat.

Lonely People With Power showcases a confident shift back to their metal roots, moving away from the moody tones of their previous album.
