_{“The Ghost Ward Diaries” is the sixth album from Swedish band Electric Boys and their third since reforming in 2009. It was released by Mighty Music on 23rd November. The band who are probably best known for the hit single “All Lips ‘n’ Hips” will be playing The Diamond Rock Club in Ahoghill on 23rd March as part of the tour to support the release of “The Ghost Ward Diaries”. I included the single “Hangover in Hannover” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd November.}

_{The cover for Tank’s 1982 debut album “Filth Hounds of Hades” was probably one of the most iconic of the NWOBHM era and the album itself is recognised as a classic in the genre. Now, more than 35 years later, there are two different versions of the band. Lead singer Algy Ward’s Tank released the album “Sturmpanzer” through Dissonance Productions on 16th November. The track “No More War” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st December.}

_{“Me Against You” is the second album from Greek metal band Full House Brew Crew and it was released by Rock of Angels Records (ROAR!) on 16th November 2018. It has been seven years since the release of the band’s debut album in 2011 as guitarist and lead singer Vagelis Karzis has been playing bass for Rotting Christ for the past few years. The album is at the heavier end of my listening spectrum and I included the track “Hollow God” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd November.}
