Reviews
\r\nNew band, with no any fresh ideas, though. Without being anything special, Black Horizon’s songs, which are pure Heavy Metal, are interesting. The vocals need some improvement, a different approach on the production should add more points as the songs sound a bit weak, yet they are not weak at all, generally, though, it’s a piece of work that it’s not indifferent at all, composing wise.
\r\nAttempting to categorize this band musically, wouldn ‘t do it justice. Basically, they play Heave Power, but they also combine their Thrash Power and Modern Metal influences as well and that makes their music so interesting, actually. They are using elemnts from various music genres, so any “label” would be really pretty limiting.
I am aware that Poland is a force to reckon when it comes to death metal (If you are already familiar with bands like Vader, you know exactly what I am talking about!) but for Thrash metal? I am afraid things are different. Listening to Virgin Snatch’s fourth album I realized why Poland and Thrash metal, judging from “Act of Grace”, are two irrelevant words.
Immolith, are a black metal band from U.S.A, which recently released their first EP, containing three compositions, entitled Hymns to the Countess. It is a rather mediocre effort.

The French Solid State were founded in 1999 and they belong to the genre of "Hard Rock", influenced mainly,by the U.S. scene and bands such as Extreme, Bon Jovi or Pink Cream 69 (Deris era). "So Solid" is their second release after their debut album by the name "Deep side of the tube".
\r\nThe album enters with a very promising instrumental song, but what follows can’t be described as "influenced compositions".

\r\nThe new album has the title -Underdogs- and it a nice Thrash Metal album that has lot of great tracks. Nice riffs, great leads, very good bass and Thrash drumming. The voice is very good and so is the production of the album that was done by Tommy Vetterli (Coroner,Kreator).\r\n
