Glam metal releases, week 37

This week's glam metal updates highlight milestone releases and retrospectives, from Mötley Crüe's 45th anniversary reissue of Too Fast For Love to Van Halen's long-lost 1974 demo Glitter set for official release alongside a limited book by Alex Van Halen. New music emerges with Airbourne's upcoming album and STRYPER's single Here in Your Heart, while Kiss confirms a new song and Accept celebrates five decades with concerts in France. Documentaries and deep dives into the genre's origins, including Def Leppard's 2027 film and the chaotic early days of Guns N' Roses, further underscore the enduring legacy of 1980s glam metal.
