10. Into The Madness

3rd album by Medieval Steel. The band sounds sharp and tight, vocalist Bobby Franklin can still get it done, and that classic US metal sound is solidly in place. That said, the songwriting is weaker this time out, with more repetition and vocal lines that are not as good to start with and don't benefit from being repeated too many times. This is not a bad album, but it can't match what this band has done before.

10. Coming Home

Debut album by Captain Hawk, a project by Bob Katsionis (Outloud, ex-Firewind, etc.) and Elina Egglezou (Goditha). It’s very much the kind of album, a rock opera, that works best when treated as a whole, and with lyrics on hand, as the story and vocal performances (7 different vocalists) are the highlights, followed closely by the folk and symphonic elements, while the metal portions are well done.
