THUNDERSTONE: Review of their new album Dirt Metal

TERO TOLKKI of Metal From Finland wrote a review of Thunderstone's forthcoming album Dirt Metal. Below are couple of excerpts:

"Thunderstone has always been an easy band for me to listen and comprehend. Does it mean I am easy to please or are they simply just so god damn good? Well pleasing me isn't easy so I fall for the latter that Thunderstone simply is a very good band. Thunderstone's previous albums, perhaps excluding their debut album which I didn't like all that much were all killer albums and through each album they have evolved with huge steps. Still in my own opinion their previous album Evolution 4.0 was the best so far. But that was before Dirt Metal right?

Dirt Metal...what a bizarre name isn't it? Does it mean that Thunderstone has created a new genre? I had a friend who described his bands music as Glove Metal but it was just a joke of course. But after listening to Dirt Metal I quickly realized that they haven't named the album by creating a new genre. There has been 2 major changes in Thunderstone for Dirt Metal. First of them being the change from Nuclear Blast to Sony BMG."
