\r\nMy Silent Wake can be found where the wild side of death metal meets the melancholy of doom and the atmosphere of gothic meet. Rising from the ashes of the British Ashen Mortality, these dark figures release their third album after "Shadow of Sorrow" and "The Anatomy of Melancholy".The album is really far from what is called extreme, despite of the obvious tension to approach it.
Επιτέλους ένας καλός progressive rock δίσκος εν έτη 2009!!!
\r\nThis is the first album by the U.K. based band, FEN and I have to admit that this one got me from the first note! The reason must be the unique way these guys sound, a sound between black metal and post rock breaks , something close to the music of In The Woods or Agalloch.

\r\nITALIAN DEATH METAL HATE \r\n
\r\nIt’s a fact that in order to promote a cd, sometimes there are some exaggerations or inaccurate descriptions. But we should not overstep the boundaries. The cd is supposed to appeal to Crimson Glory, Queensryche, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden fans and the singer is supposed to be influenced by Midnight, Tate, Lance King, Dio, Bruce Dickinson. No way, guys. The music style of the album is epic/heavy power and the vocals remind of another place and time, somewhere in the middle 80’s till the early 90’s.

\r\n-She Said Destroy - from Norway , were formed back in 2000 and after some Demos and a debute album in 2006, they managed to release their second full length work.The album is called - This City Speaks in Tongues - and i am very sure that its going to be noticed by many metalheads out there. \r\n
\r\nMystic Prophecy is a German based power metal band, featuring two Greek musicians (Dimitris Liapakis and Constantine). "Fireangel" is their sixth official release, since "Vengeance" (band’s debut in 2001) and the first with the current line up.
\r\nThe label on the cd, “Gods of Vermin”, is really far away from being accurate. Dark symphonic is only one side of it. Symphonic yes, but based on clear Prog/Power formulas, despite of the dark mood that features the songs, probably due to the dramatic and theatrical elements that cover the album and of course the atmosphere coming from them.
