January 2026 Featured Release - The Pit Edition
So, I get to kick off The Pit feature release cycle for 2026 and I have gone back some 40 years for this one. Taking us into the realms of mid-eighties speed metal this month, we have the one and only release from Dutch quintet, Asgard. With classic, fantasy artwork adorning the cover on this album it is a real dive back into a time when metal was riding high with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth all releasing classic albums in the same year. Of course, it would have been too easy to place one of those records on feature this month and so I have gone somewhat obscure instead.

This one isn't on Spotify, so head over to YouTube for tracking this one down. Feel free to drop a review of In the Ancient Days against the album page and below. Or simply let us know your thoughts in the thread here.
I don't think I know this record, Vinny, so I am looking forward to acquainting myself with it.
Happy new year by the way.
