The Australian based Doom metal quartet Rote Mare, after the release of eight demos, decided to release their first “proper” release as an EP entitled “Sorrows Path”.
\r\nThey sound improved in comparison with some early deamos I happened to have already listened to, and their sound is nothing more than traditional doom metal in the vein of Sabbath, Trouble, Saint Vitus and other bands trademarks of the Doom metal sound.
\r\nSecong strike from Salonika’s Terrordrome comes in the form of a split cd and, in my opinion, it establishes them as on of the top forward thinking brutal tech/death metal bands(that was long!). It takes enormous amount of talent to be able to compose songs that are technical and catchy at the same time. Yes, catchy.

\r\nAfter their recent live show in Greece, during Sonisphere festival, where they played some new songs, I was pretty interested in listening to the new Stone Sour album.
\r\nWith such a cover you can definately know what to expect. Black metal, nothing more nothing less. But what’s good with these fellas is that they’re a bit different. And as the inlay quote says: Fuck the unfucked!

\r\nΤhe term "death metal " has been somewhat misunderstood these last years to the point of exploitation. So, you have all those wannabies that want to label their music death metal because it’s cool, macho or because they’re somehow impressed by this whole thing. Mechanical God Creation aren’t exactly that kind of a band but their ultra shinny sound does not indicate a band that feels...

\r\nWhile listening to Tarja Turunen’s new album I had the strange feeling that I was actually watching a movie, something that has to do not so much with music itself, that in most of the parts sounds like a movie soundtrack, but with the variety of the whole album.
\r\nSecond album for Galar, although it’s the first time I come in contact with their music. It’s a folk/black metal band in the vein of old In The Woods, although I stil may be misguiding.. The album is run by a variety of moods, epic guitar melodies but also tunes from natural organs such as cello, viola etc. Tunes that try to redirect the listener from the sepia first impression of its wonderful, minimalistic cover. But do they manage to do so?
\r\nWHEN AN ACID DRINKER GOES SOLO \r\n
\r\n
\r\nEveryone in the Thrash Metal scene and especially in Poland knows very well Titus. He is the singer and bassist of the Polish Thrash band -Acid Drinkers- and he is in the Metal business many years now. \r\n
\r\n In times of trendy breakdowns, shallow plastic productions and stupid haircuts you have bands emerging from the underground,
\r\ndelivering all us, brutality-thirsty sickos from the evil of fashion in music. Uncleansed release their debut and show us how it’s done.
\r\n
\r\n Featuring members of Viral Load, Infernal Dominion, Insidious Decrepancy and Braced For Nails this outfit is condemned to bring us
\r\ndeath metal at its finest. A relentless wave of killer riffs, blastbeats and even doomy parts thrusts the ear and makes the listener
\r\nFRENCH HEAVY/THRASH \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Hemoragy- are here with their new official album called - Headbang Till Death-. It’s the second official full length for this French band and this time they are back with better sound quality. \r\n

\r\nThe album is still in the Heavy/Thrash zone but with better production quality. Nice Heavy/Thrash riffs, great leads, heavy bass, great drumming and a nice Thrash voice. There are lot of nice songs and many great lead parts that are making this album a nice Heavy/Thrash album. \r\n
