\r\nInmost Ego appeared in the musci scene for the first time on 2007 with the demo “A Moment before”, two years after the band was formed. After changing their line –up, they have a brand new EP , which is entitled “When Roses Fall” and it contains four songs. Inmost Ego combine ideas, which vary from atmosperic, gothic, melodic death, to alternative metal as in each song you can find a different mixture of these genres. They don’t have some specific musical orientation, something that from my perspective is really interesting.
These American sleaze/hard rockers from Chicago are a special case. Sweet Sybil had their share of fame back in the late 80’s, when hard rock was at its peak and though they didn’t manage to release a full length album they had a large number of supporters on the local scene. Unfortunately their only releases, before they disband in 1992 was an EP on 1991 and the best of “Loud And Proud” back in 1992.
\r\nPolish metallers Thy Disease are e persistent band, reaching their 5th release in their almost 10 years of existence. A quite solid presence, in terms of releases evolving one step a time. Behind a morbid cover we discover a tremendously evolved band unfolding its talent.

\r\nThe successor of their beastly debut album, “Rex Mundi”, which was very welcomed both by the local and worldwide Press, is much more grim, gruesome and blasphemous.
\r\n14 years after the unexpected success of “Tunes Of War” , an album that was the stepping stone for them, Grave Digger return once more with an awesome album inspired by the history and the battles of the proud Scottish people against the English invaders. So before any of you starts accusing them for repeating themselves or walking the beaten path to ensure success try to think of two main reasons why accusations like these are completely irrelevant.
\r\nThere are some groups that despite the fact if you wanted or not, really mark your life, that happened also with these doomsters from Germany, Mirror Of Deception, since their “Foregone” release along with some other albums were the music that have been keeping me company through my military service, so Mirror of Deception own a special place in my heart.
\r\nWhen you see a spanish band playing folk/pagan metal you cannot but wonder since Spain has no tradition in the genre. At least not a strong one. After watching the band members’ babyfaces that doubt grows even stronger...and yet it feels so good to be wrong in the end.

\r\nVotum, a band which comes from Poland, used to be quite different music- wise in the beginning. Soon they changed their music style, by following more atmospheric and dark music paths. And the truth is, they did well, taking under consideration that they compose wonderful, mesmerizing songs, with penetrating atmosphere.
Cauchemar, a female fronted heavy metal band, hailing from Canada, but keep in mind the fact that, when I state Heavy Metal is Heavy Metal, no operatic bullshit in this one.
