EXPANDED SHOW NOTES

Signals From Mars - Episode 408: February 2025 Albums Review

Host: Victor M. Ruiz
Guest: Jeremy Weltman
Date: March 7th, 2025

Show Notes

Introduction (00:00 - 04:00)-

Welcome to episode 408 of Signals From Mars.

Monthly album review segment with Jeremy Weltman.

Overview of February 2025's hard rock and metal releases.

Discussion of the importance of keeping up with new music.

Discussion of standout albums:

Dream Theater - Parisomnia: Concept album focused on sleep and dreams.

Ginger - Duel: A solid release but somewhat repetitive.

Thundermother - Dirty and Divine: High-energy rock, very AC/DC-influenced.

Days of Jupiter - The World Was Never Enough: Jeremy’s pick of the week.

Saber - Lost in Flames: Victor’s pick of the week, 80s-inspired heavy metal.

Talk about overlooked releases and personal biases in music selection.

Lacuna Coil - Sleepless Empire: Victor’s pick of the week, a return to their heavier sound.

Crazy Lixx - Thrill of the Bite: Jeremy’s pick of the week, a great glam rock album.

Scorpion Child - I Saw the End as It Passed Through Me: New wave of traditional heavy metal sound.

Hangman’s Chair - Sedition: Dark, moody, but repetitive.

Killswitch Engage - This Consequence: Victor’s pick of the week, strong hooks and polished production.

Twins Crew - Chapter 4: Jeremy’s pick of the week, powerful power metal.

Air Force - Acts of Madness: Features Doug Samson, sounds like Iron Maiden with a heavier twist.

Traitor - Phobias: Strong death metal/thrash vibes.

Brainstorm - Plague of Rats: Victor’s album of the month, potential top 10 of the year.

Perfect Plan - Heart of a Lion: Jeremy’s pick of the week, great melodic rock.

Robin McAuley - Spellbound: Major disappointment, lacks the heaviness of Alive.

Dirkschneider - Revisiting Balls to the Wall: Divisive, unnecessary re-record.

Tesla confirms no new albums but might release singles.

Concerns over the overly polished Shock album produced by Def Leppard’s Phil Collen.

General sentiment: If it sounds like old Tesla, yes. If it’s more like Shock, no.

Vandenberg playing Whitesnake.

Schenker playing UFO.

Dirkschneider playing Accept.

Verdict: Good for new fans, but re-recordings aren’t necessary.
