January 2021 - New Music Playlist

The first month of the year is usually pretty lean when it comes to new music releases. In the rock and metal world, this seems to be true for 2021. So far this year, there are three albums in the rock and metal category which I think are worth discussing. Also, Weezer is due to release a new album in a couple days and that will probably be good, too. I have selected three songs for the January 2021 playlist so far - please add your suggestions as well.

Labyrinth - Welcome To The Absurd Circus is really good. It was released January 22 and I've added the track "The Absurd Circus" to the playlist below. Holy hell, just listen to the guitar solo. Trust me.

Sammy Hagar and the Circle also released an album this month. The covers album is called Lockdown 2020 and is a nice mix of classic rock and Van Halen tunes. I picked the Who cover of "Won't Get Fooled Again" for the playlist.

Finally, my initial list features Accept with their album Too Mean To Die. It is out later this month, but a few songs are already available. I picked "The Undertaker" to share with you today. I think it will be a good representation of the album as a whole.

Let me know what you think of these tracks!
