Well, it’s that time again, when enough releases have passed my way to deliver what’s becoming something of a monthly tradition, rounding up music of all sorts from any number of labels in the metal/punk/gothic axis (and more than a few that fall somewhat outside those designations as well).

This time around, I decided to make it a little easier on y’all, and sorted by label.  So if you’re a diehard fan of, say, Hell’s Headbangers, all the bands falling under their general aegis this month can be checked out in one easy skim (makes it easier if you’re ordering direct from the label, as well).

So if you’re set, strap yourselves in, take a deep breath, both hands on the wheel, and let’s kick this one into high gear…
