\r\n20 YEARS OF -PRO-PAIN-\r\n

\r\n

\r\nIt’s the 20th anniversary for the legendary New York Hardcore veterans -Pro-Pain- and so the band released a new album called -20 Years of Hardcore-.\r\n

\r\nWhen something comes to an end, there’s always a new beginning and you never know what future brings. When Dream Theater and Portnoy parted ways, no one could ever know when the band might be able to move on. The answer came pretty soon, though, and in fact it’s very encouraging.

\r\nAn exceptional case of a band, French outfit Minus Human initially impressed me but ultimetly left me with a question: will I try to listen to the whole album again? Now, since their music cannot be categorised so easily I will try to give you a brief description without tiring you. They have been called "the bastard child of ISIS and MACHINE HEAD" before. Surely there is a reason for that..

That’s a debut album for the old rockers The Slam (and by saying old, I don’t refer to their age!). After managing to sign with the Italian Record company Scarlet Records they release their full length “Hit It” offering a piece of good old classic hard rock sound and by the term classic we mean exactly that. Hard rock the way Aerosmith, Kiss and early Whitesnake used to play. All this vintage feeling given by a modern production gives the songs a powerful and solid sound.

\r\nThe band’s Mastermind, Nicolas Van Dyk, dealed with a very serious health issue in 2008, when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma by mistake. It seems that his adventure pretty much affected the new album of Redemption, “This Mortal Coil”.

\r\nNEW ERA FOR -MORS CORDI-\r\n

\r\n

\r\nGerman band -Mors Cordi- is active for over 10 years in the Metal scene of Berlin. This band is now ready with their new release. It’s their third official full length and this time they are experimenting with lots of FX, Synths and Industrial sounds.\r\n

\r\nGhost Brigade have been unrightfuly ignored by the greek audience. Being aware of the impact bands like Katatonia have on the greek ears and souls it’s actually weird to see the beloved Finnish not getting the attention they deserve. But it’s like what I always say: just follow the press’s trends..Anyway, what does matter right now is that their third release is knocking our door and I gladly realize their creative mood is still at large.

A year after the release of their debut album, Unherz return with a brand new release called “Herzschlag”. It’s the first time that I listened to their music and I can’t say that I am impressed, on the contrary listening to the album left me completely indifferent. Besides the music that could be labeled as classic Heavy Metal and has some good riffing here and there (nothing that we haven’t already heard before) I didn’t find anything else to grab my attention.

\r\nANOTHER KILLER ALBUM\r\n

\r\n

\r\n-Criminal- are ready with their seventh official album and their fans are going to love it as the new album, titled –Akelarre-, is another killer one!\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe band returned three years after their last release with another full length that has it all. Power,agression,speed and perfect production. Great Thrash riffs, nice leads, excelent bass and drumming and Anton Reisenegger delivering nice aggressive Thrash vocals. The production is very nice and the whole album has great sound.\r\n

\r\nI made the same question to myself as I did when Road Salt One was released: if it wasn’t a Pain of Salvation album, would I still like it? The answer was positive again.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nIt sounds like a soundtrack, coming from some other place and time, so distant and old but somehow contemporary; what really stands out is the sequence, the uniformity and the coherence, despite the abrupt changes, which are very common for Pain of Salvation.
