\r\nOne reason why I always liked CREMATORY is because of their special music style; it’s too “heavy” to be labeled as “Goth Metal” and, at the same time, too “pop” to be labeled as Melodeath metal.
\r\nSeems that most Finnish bands are kind of “expert” when it comes to dark/melodic metal sound, is like a second nature to them so when they decide to take advantage of it commercially, they are able to write first class radio-friendly songs as easy as drinking booze!
\r\nFIRST ALBUM FOR EXENCE\r\n
\r\n
\r\nItalian Deathsters , -Exence- are ready with their first album , released via Punishment 18 Records.\r\n
\r\nTHE BEGINNING OF THE AETERNAM MACHINE \r\n
\r\n
\r\nCanadian Deathsters, -Aeternam-, are here with their very first album, now released by Metal Blade Records. The band was formed in 2007 and they haven’t release any other album, demo or EP. \r\n
\r\nBACK TO THE ROOTS \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Rotting Christ- are back with their 10th full length album. The legendary Greek Black Metal band is ready and their comeback is about to be stunning!! Their new album is called -Aealo- (which means catastrophe -destruction, in ancient Greek) and its definitely a ‘back to the roots-album’. And when i say roots i mean the Greek roots of the band. \r\n
When I received this promo cd from I Hate Records, I have to admit that I couldn’t take my eyes off from this awesome cover by Sgraffito, so I though , a release from I Hate records and a cover from Sgraffito, this means that this one will be extremely slow and heavy as f”ck, and thankfully I was right!
So after the re – release of the “…Yet So Far” album and the re- release or better the first time officially released same titled album of Revelation , an album that for years we have been referred to as “Unreleased Album” , an album that was meant to be the bands first release in 1988 but never has been officially released since this year, the band returns with some new material, and this release sounds a little bit “weird” to me, but let me make my self clear.
Some days ago when the whole team of metalzone gr was gathered for the regular cup of coffee and the dirty work of sharing the promo CDs, from the corner of my eye I saw two Revelation cds
\r\nSo let me begin with the first one, which is the remastered re release of their 3rd album “...Yet So Far” via Shadow Kings Records, that originally has been released in 1995 through Hellhound Records.
\r\nEven though I don’t really like this kind of music, well I have to admit that this is a good effort. DIORAMIC come from Germany and “Technicolor“is their debut album. The style is mostly post hardcore, while, on the other hand, it totally fits in the standards of modern metal as a general term. In addition, there are many trippy moments mixed with melodic and nice technical parts, making the songs pretty special. \r\n
