\r\nFIRST FULL LENGTH \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-System Divide- is a band from the U.S.A. that was formed in 2008 by Sven De Caluwe (Aborted), Miri Milman (ex-Distorted), Cole Martinez (ex-Years Of Fire, Antenora), Andrew Lenthe (Antenora), and Mike Heller (Malignancy). Their main idea was to play a mix of Melodic Death/Metalcore with double vocals.One male that stays in the Deathcore zone and one female that prefers melodic lines. \r\n
\r\nΤhere was a lot of worrying about the popular Norwegians after their recent member departures. Many spoke of disbanding, others about a creative downfall and lots more wrote their own scripts about the band’s saga. But, as it seems, Dimmu Borgir did some hard work ontheir new material and make a strong come back with a symphonic creation just like the times require for artists of such a level: massive to the bone!
\r\n
\r\nWith their third album, Suicidal Angels have nothing to prove to anyone anymore. Indeed, the band has matured, without it meaning they luck ferocity or something, know what they want and evolve within the boundaries they themselves set. With so many gigs and tours on their back but also with such a strong fanbase the greek thrashers are an established band already.

\r\nTHE WAR CONTINUES\r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Hail of Bullets- are ready to release their second full length album and this time their mix of Death Metal and war stories are talking about the rise and fall of the Japanese empire.\r\n
\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.
