War Gods of the Deep - Robots, Rockets & Rampage
Review by Gary Hill
The easy thing to classify about this EP is that it's heavy metal. Fitting it within the various subgenre is just not something that would be easy to do.

Warfare - The Lemmy Sessions (3 CD set)
Review by Gary Hill
Warfare was one of the earliest bands to merge punk rock and heavy metal. This new collection is the first release of an alternate mix of their 1985 album Metal Anarchy.

Warlock - Hellbound
Review by Gary Hill

The second studio album from Warlock, this is a fierce metal set well worth revisiting. This was the first album from the band I ever owned, so it has a special place in my heart.

Warlock - Burning the Witches
Review by Gary Hill

In 1984 Warlock released this, their debut album. It showcased their female fronted sound.


More
Warlock - True as Steel
Review by Gary Hill
Warlock may be no more (at least in name), but the music they created has really stood the test of time. It's a strong metal that fits well under the power-metal heading.

More
Warlock - Triumph and Agony
Review by Gary Hill
Warlock only ever released four albums before being rebranded as Doro - or breaking up, depending on who you ask.

More
Warrior - Featuring Vinnie Vincent / Jimmy Waldo / Gary Shea / Hirsh Gardner
Review by Gary Hill
This album has never been released before. The story behind its creation is unusual. 

More
Warrior - Warrior II
Review by Gary Hill
There are a couple points that need to be made clear right off the bat here. First off, this isn't precisely heavy metal.

More
WASP - Unholy Terror
Review by Mike Korn
One of the most decadent and outrageous bands to emerge from the Southern California metal scene in the 80's was WASP.
More
WASP - The Last Command
Review by Gary Hill
I have never really been a big WASP fan. However, this album has always been one I liked a lot.

More
WASP - The Headless Children
Review by Mike Korn
Released in 1989, The Headless Children was WASP.'s fourth album and a quantum leap in their career. Very few bands in metal history have leaped forward as much as WASP did here.

More
Watchtower - Control & Resistance
Review by Gary Hill
While this album was originally released in 1989, this is a brand new reissue of it. If you've never heard this band, you have probably never heard anything quite like this.

More
Waverly Lies North - A Soul in the Void
Review by Gary Hill
There are moments here that would qualify as progressive rock.

More
Wheel - Preserved in Time (vinyl)
Review by Gary Hill
This recent vinyl album from German doom metallers Wheel would have probably made my "best of 2021" list had I heard it last year when it was first released.

More
Whitesnake - Restless Heart
Review by Greg Olma
Looking back, I can't believe it was 7 years between Whitesnake albums. 1990 saw the release of Slip of the Tongue , undoubtedly Whitesnake's most "metal" long player. Seven years later, we were treated to an all together different Whitesnake.
More
WildeStarr - Beyond The Rain
Review by Mike Korn
This album is proof positive that great art can come out of tragedy. It’s a concept album inspired by the suicide of singer London Wilde’s brother Gary, also a musician.

More
Winterage - Nekyia
Review by Gary Hill
If you like your metal delivered with a lot of classical music in the mix, you will probably love this.

More
Witche's Brew - Against the Grain
Review by Gary Hill
I have to say that I really don't like the vocals on this album. Beyond that, though, the sound is quite cool.

More
Witchery - Symphony for the Devil
Review by Mike Korn
It seems a crying shame that this record didn't arrive in time for inclusion in the last edition of MSJ. That issue tried to focus on spooky stuff and no band fits the bill better than Witchery, who's brand
of "horror metal" perhaps would have made them Poe's favorite metal band (if we can envision Poe headbanging it would surely be to Witchery)!

More
Witchfynde - Divine Victims: Witchfynde Albums 1980-1983
Review by Gary Hill
You could sort of think of Witchfynde as one of the underappreciated bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

More
Within Another - EP
Review by Gary Hill
This independent four-track release shows a prog metal band that will probably go places. The group seem to have very solid instrumental and compositional skills.
