\r\nAUSTRALIAN WRATH \r\n
\r\n
\r\nAustralian Blacksters , -Ruins-, are back with another album. The band was formed in 2004 and they have release two full length albums and one EP. Their last release was in 2008 and now they have already release their new album. \r\n
\r\n “Dreams come true if you believe it..” that’s a lyric from the first song of the album. Well, obviously, Elysion did believe in their dream and it came true!
Surely this is a pretty strange name for a band and so is their music since I could not label them to a category that would efficiently describe the genre they represent. Maybe this is their goal, since their intense experimental mood prevents anyone from categorizing them to a specific genre. The opening track “Prelude: in crimson” is a nightmarish violin melody where the bow could literally dance on your nerves instead of the violin’s strings. As long as the music of the CD lasts influances of all kinds of hard music are parading before your… ears.
Name – Robert Halford , Profession – Singer, Known as – Metal God!!!
\r\nWell Rob Halford , his majesty after the latest release with judas Priest, decided to release one more personal album under the moniker of Halford band, but this time the main theme of the album is Christmas time and the album features some new tracks plus re arranged traditional songs that refer to Christmas.
We got a winner here… and the oscar for the “most impropriate album cover of 2009” goes to …Coroner Records for the cover artwork of the re – release of “Either Caesar or Nothing” from the Italian outfit Fomento, that originally has been released in 2008 as a self released effort.
\r\nDo you miss the good Melodic Power Metal albums? The bands that play music with passion and soul? The songs that you will feel like listening to over and over again?
A couple of weeks ago the Austrian outfit Siegfried just released their third album, entitled “Nibelung” that features some classic overplayed Symphonic / Goth metal sounds that despite the effort of Napalm Records to categorise it as “Epic Metal” the result is the same.
