New Hard Rock and Metal Releases for May and June 2010

The end of May and all of June are crammed with a wealth of metal releases. In fact, these warm months are so metal, they could crap iron ore! With a brand new album from Ozzy Osbourne -- we premiered the single 'Let Me Here You Scream' -- and the first Danzig release in six years, the sixth month of the year earns two very enthusiastic horns up, with essential artists offering up new music.

'Legend' is a term tossed around too much, but it applies to Exodus and Soulfly, both of whom are releasing new platters in May. Nevermore's neo-thrash, Kingdom of Sorrow's sludged out doom and Nachtmystium thoroughly blackened goodness are also key releases that we can't wait to crank in the office to the point where coworkers ask us to turn it down. Bring on the decibels!
