\r\nATHENS SCREAMS\r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Sarabante- is a band from Athens that plays a mix of Hardcore/Punk/Crust since 2006. The band had some line-up changes and was into an inactive period till 2010 that the band reformed and started recordings. Now they are ready with their very first official work. \r\n
\r\nTHE VIKINGS ARE BACK\r\n
\r\n
\r\nNorwegian Viking Metalheads, - Einherjer- are here with their fifth album, titled -Norron- and I can already feel the smiles in their fans’s faces around the world. This band has a lot of fans as they seem to be one of the first bands that started Viking Metal back in the 90’s. -Einherjer- had to split up after 2003 and in 2008 they made a reunion in order to give some shows. In December 2010 the band announced their new contract with Indie Recordings and that they are looking forward to release a new album in September 2011.\r\n
\r\nTHE FOURTH ALBUM IS HERE \r\n
\r\n
\r\nFrench Blacksters, -Glorior Belli- returned with their 4th official full length. This band plays Black Metal with some Rock elements since 2003 and till now they have released one Demo, one Split and three full length albums. Now they are ready with their new fresh release, called - The Great Southern Darkness - . \r\n
\r\nDEBUT ALBUM FOR -THE RITUAL- \r\n
\r\n
\r\nItalian Heavy/Metalcore band, -The Ritual- formed in 2002 and after releasing one Demo the band managed to sign with Bakerteam Records. They are now ready with their very first official full length. \r\n
\r\n What is there to say about this? Just when I thought the metalcore era was over. And yes, stupid band names that are phrase-long should be banned! Have mercy! We Came As Romans, apart from the annoying name play generic music 110%. I keep asking myself, is there audience that still digs this much into this genre?

\r\n It’s not luck that brought Vader and bands of their status to where they are now. Their work presents unbreakable fury and a steady flow of quality music. With their 9th album the old death metal ship from Poland proves they withstand the fall of time and even though they have released some weak material in the recent past, their present status shows no dirt on their carpet.

\r\nThird release for the English thrashers Evile and if what they say about a band’s third album (that is defining for their sound, career and all) stands true, these guys have nothing to worry about! “Five Serpent’s Teeth” is a thrash masterpiece that honors the genre and its creators! Supersonic, head smashing riffs, mind blowing rhythm section and a bombastic production that makes the compositions sound even more powerful than they are. Just the way they should. But all these are simple details compared to the compositions themselves!
\r\nKeep it simple, into your face, circle pits. These, among others, are the first expressions that come to mind when you listen to Generation Kill’s debut album. Rob Dukes, known as Exodus’ latest vocalist, hits your face with his side project. A project that all thrashers and crossover lovers will deeply appreciate. Let alone crash their heads to. After a short, butchered acoustic intro BAM, all hell breaks loose! Oh, did I forget to mention that Rob Moschetti(former ProPain, M.O.D.) is playing bass? Good enough for ya?

\r\nQuestion: does any of you remember the mid 90’s melodic death movement? One of the bands that jumped into that was Night In Gales from Germany. A tour with In Flames was enough to show them the way for a whole new world. Back then, they had released "Thunderbeast", an album that became the reason for some to label them as "one of many". The album was not a cornerstone, not a bad one either, history saw the band releasing a couple more albums and lost sight of them eversince.
