_{“Chapter X” is the appropriately named tenth studio release from Swedish band Tad Morose. The album was released on 15th June by GMR Music Group. The band formed in Bolinas back in 1991 and their early releases were generally labelled as progressive rock, but they now tend to get categorised as power or heavy metal. Tad Morose have moved to a new label for their first release since 2015. I included the track “Apocalypse” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 22nd June.}

_{“Race to Resurrection” is the latest album from German rockers Motorjesus and it was released on 15th June via Drakkar Entertainment. The hard rock outfit trace their roots back to 1992 when they formed as The Shitheadz, before changing their name in 2006. Since then they’d released three albums and a six track EP, prior to this latest offering. I included the track “The Damage” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th June and “King Collider” on the Show on 29th June.}

_{Last year American rockers Every Mother’s Nightmare (EMN) released “Grind”, their first album in fifteen years, and founding-member, singer Rick Ruhl was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show. EMN have now re-released their third album “Smokin Delta Voodoo” which initially appeared in 2000. The new re-packaged and re-engineered version of the album was released on 8th June via HighVol Music and includes four additional demo tracks. I’ve played tracks from the original version on the Shows many times over the past 8 years and the new version of “Delta Voodoo” was featured on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th June.}
