The only way to coast through the blazing, oppressive August heat is to either go surfing in the ocean, use an industrial powered air conditioner and crank up some of the best tunes the metal world has to offer. This month marks several 'returns' from acts that have not released anything in the past handful of years, including Black Label Society and Murderdolls, the latter of which is the horror rock project of Slipknot's Joey Jordison which had had been dormant since 2002.

Iron Maiden also soar back into our lives with 'The Final Frontier,' which they advanced with a full arena tour earlier this summer. The Sword also bring back their vintage, dirty rock with 'Warp Riders.'
