Halloween from very longtime HardRadio friend KING DIAMOND originally released in 1986, will be re-released worldwide with new art by Mario Lopez on October 23rd via Metal Blade Records, just in time for the season. The Halloween title track comes off King Diamond's debut album, Fatal Portrait (1986), as does "The Candle," which served as the opening track on Fatal Portrait, and was part of the early storytelling approach that would become central to King Diamond's future discography. "The Lake," while recorded during the same general period as Fatal Portrait and associated with those sessions, wasn't included in the original nine-track album.

Kenyon Records is proud to announce DANGEROUS TOYS: THE DEFINITIVE EDITION - a landmark reissue of the self-titled 1989 debut from Austin, Texas sleaze-metal legends Dangerous Toys fronted by very longtime HardRadio friend JASON MCMASTER. Arriving Friday, November 13, this fully authorized, band-approved release reunites the group with the man who produced their sound in the first place: Max Norman, who returned in 2026 to remaster the album from the ground up, completing dedicated remasters specifically for vinyl and for CD to preserve maximum fidelity in each format.

The self-titled "Black Album" from very longtime HardRadio friends METALLICA has reached a rare Billboard 200 milestone becoming only the fourth release to spend 850 weeks on the chart. Metallica joins Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon, Bob Marley And The Wailers' Legend and Journey's Greatest Hits in reaching the historic longevity mark. Metallica also rises to #9 on the Top Hard Rock Albums and #41 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts.
