Metal Department is proud to announce the re-release of a true Heavy Metal classic, Firewind's long-out-of-print sophomore studio album 'Burning Earth', on both CD and vinyl.

Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck are back with their brand-new stand-alone single, "Point of View," available now on all digital platforms. A rollicking, groove-driven ode to the colourful characters encountered on the road, "Point of View" captures the band's signature energy and humour with a distinctly vintage flair. Self-produced and recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound in Hollywood, the track showcases a Stones-inspired vibe, complete with vibrant backing vocals from Laura Gruska and Rachel Mazer.
"'Point of View' is a story inspired by those rare experiences where things get a little wild," explains guitarist Henry James. "Every once in a while, someone gets a bit too comfortable, and while it can be challenging in the moment, it always makes for a great story later. Musically, the song came together naturally-a big, loose, yet tight '70s rock 'n' roll jam that we're all really proud of." With its infectious riffs, tight grooves, and feel-good party vibe, "Point of View" is a fresh addition to the band's ever-growing catalogue, perfectly complementing their high-energy live performances.
