\r\nTHE SECOND FULL LENGTH IS FINALLY HERE \r\n
\r\n
\r\nSlovenian Thrashers, -Negligence- returned three years after their last release with another album full of Thrash and Heavy tunes. This time the band is ready for more and the good news for them is that -Negligence- are now members of the Metal Blade family. \r\n
At last, four years have passed since the last release of David Defeis and co, and since I got the promo copy of the new album, I have to admit that I felt such an anxiety while pushing the “play Button” to begin the listening session of the new album, “The Black Light Bacchanalia”. I have also to admit that despite the great amount of love I have for this band, their previous album “Visions Of Eden” left me unsatisfied, thus the whole anxiety.
\r\nGERMAN MATHCORE STRIKES AGAIN\r\n
\r\n
\r\nGerman Mathcore band - War from A Harlots Mouth- are back with another album full of Mathcore mixed with Jazz and Metal. The new release is called -MMX- and its still via Lifeforce Records.\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThis time this crazy band mixes more experimental elements. You can hear many Mathcore themes, hardcore attitude, Jazz bridges but even Black Metal feeling and Dark atmosphere all over. Nice 8-strings guitar riffs, great bass and drumming and very good voice. The production is great and so is the cover artwork of the album.\r\n
\r\nTHE THIRD ALBUM IS HERE \r\n
\r\n
\r\nU.S. band - Beneath the Sky - is back with their new album. It’s the third official full length for this band and this time they are back with a great album that mixes Melodic Death, Hardcore and Metal. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe new album has the title -In Loving Memory- and mixes a lot of different styles. Great Hardcore riffs, nice heavy bass, great drumming and a great voice that screams and sings great as well. The production is very nice and so the whole artwork and layout of the album. \r\n
\r\nWell, it seems that good things come when you don’t really expect it. “Static Impulse” is the brand new album of Dream Theater’s frontman, James Labrie. The line up of his band consists of really GREAT musicians, not only performing wise, but, mostly, because the songs are really inspired: Matt Guillory, on the keyboards and responsible for most of the songwriting, Peter Wildoer (Darkane), drums and screams, Marco Sfogli, guitar, and Ray Riendeau, bass.
\r\nInmost Ego appeared in the musci scene for the first time on 2007 with the demo “A Moment before”, two years after the band was formed. After changing their line –up, they have a brand new EP , which is entitled “When Roses Fall” and it contains four songs. Inmost Ego combine ideas, which vary from atmosperic, gothic, melodic death, to alternative metal as in each song you can find a different mixture of these genres. They don’t have some specific musical orientation, something that from my perspective is really interesting.
These American sleaze/hard rockers from Chicago are a special case. Sweet Sybil had their share of fame back in the late 80’s, when hard rock was at its peak and though they didn’t manage to release a full length album they had a large number of supporters on the local scene. Unfortunately their only releases, before they disband in 1992 was an EP on 1991 and the best of “Loud And Proud” back in 1992.
\r\nPolish metallers Thy Disease are e persistent band, reaching their 5th release in their almost 10 years of existence. A quite solid presence, in terms of releases evolving one step a time. Behind a morbid cover we discover a tremendously evolved band unfolding its talent.
\r\n
\r\nThe successor of their beastly debut album, “Rex Mundi”, which was very welcomed both by the local and worldwide Press, is much more grim, gruesome and blasphemous.
