HARD ROCK ALBUMS OF THE YEAR - 2019

The year is quickly coming to a close, so it's time for The Mighty Decibel's top ten lists for 2019. Our third and final installment covers the best hard rock (including hard rock'n'roll, blues and punk rock) albums of the year ...  SPOILER ALERT !!!!!! #10  VAN ALEN - String Theory (C+P Mars Music                        Productions) #9    MEAN MACHINE - Rock'N'Roll Up Your Ass (Fighter) #8    SCARECROW - Scarecrow (Independent) #7    DAR STELLABOTTA - Lo-Fi Rejection (Bandcamp) #6    GIN LADY - Tall Sun Crooked Moon (Bandcamp) #5    MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST - Revelation (Nuclear Blast) #4    SHOTGUN SAWYER - Bury The Hatchet (Ripple) #3    MIDNIGHT PREY - Uncertain Times (Dying Victims) #2    CJ RAMONE - The Holy Spell (Fat Wreck Chords) #1    BLACK STAR RIDERS - Another State of Grace (Nuclear Blast) Post podcast update: THE CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL - We're All Going To Die was issued late in 2019 and was received after this podcast was recorded. Seemingly a "love it or hate it" release, I would place it as the #1 hard rock album of 2019.
