Forgot to mention this a few days ago. I got around to finally listening to a couple albums lately. David Bowie's The Next Day is a phenomenal rock record and not just your typical comeback. Filled with such great songs that match most of Bowie's late 70s and early 80s material. His voice and performances still got it and proves he is still the Duke. I didn't expect to like it a ton only just a few songs. It is up there with Van Halen's ADKoT in my honest opinion. Check it out if you are already a fan, casual, rock fan, or whatever. I got the standard CD at the moment.
I picked up the new Killswitch Engage, Disarm the Descent album with that and got around listening. Blasted it on my family's Blu Ray player and it's a great metal record. I got into the Howard Jones material and he is the superior frontman/vocalist; but Jesse ups his game since the last time he was in the band and it shows in terms of his improved vocals and song writing. The rest of the band is awesome as usual; but it's a more heavy and explosive record than the 2009 one which I thought was great too. Would love to see them live again. Since back in 2010, I saw the band without either vocalist and All That Remains' singer Phil stepped up to fill in for Howard who was ill at the time. Got the special edition which comes with 2 bonus songs from the sessions that go great with the track list, 2 recorded live songs from a show a couple months ago, and a half hour doc on the making of the album that if you are already a fan you'll enjoy as much as I did.
American Capitalist by Five Finger Death Punch is another great metal record that I highly recommend if you are into some melodic chorus heavy rockers with a great rhythm section produced by Ozzy's current producer/collaborator, Kevin Churko. Ivan's vocals are killer. They are recording a new album already.

Thanks for all the recommendations!

I second this recommendation, and also recommend their ”War is the Answer” album. These dudes are bad ass.

Oh hell yea! War is the Answer is great and their debut with A.C. are fantastic down n' dirty heavy metal records. They don't compromise and care about their fans! Their cover of Bad Company is in my opinion superior to the original version. Making an album while on tour in Europe and other areas. Another band I'm dying to see live.

Recently discovered this amazing band. Unfortunately their leader David Gold passed away two years ago in car accident and band ceased existing. Heavy and dark music with haunting melodies so much feeling and emotion is poured in their albums, kickass.
