This week’s highlight is definitely Green Day’s new record “21st Century Breakdown,” the follow-up to the band’s 2004 commercial success “American Idiot.” The punk rockers are looking pretty good at the moment, having a very good chance in topping the Billboard charts next week.

What’s one of the most intriguing metal figures in the United States, Richmond natives Lamb of God are back after a three years absence with their sixth installment, “Wranth.” The album continues more or less in the same directions, with very few subtle differences. But, hey, why fix something if it ain’t broken? Swamp rockers the [...]
