Reviews
When a prog / power band from Thessaloniki managed to have an album guest like the former bassist of "Pain Of Salvation", Kristoffer Gildenlöw, then this itself is a trigger to listen to the album. So open the drive, put the cd inside, and wait for the music to start playing while you are looking at the booklet.
\r\n“Superman” is the first single from Mama Kin, which is released via Leon Music. Behind the production it’s Rikard Löfgren who is also the owner of the record company. Rikard has worked with many names in the past like Rachel Stevens (S-club 7), Hellfueled, Deathstars, Gracia, Vomitory, Vanessa S, Sparzanza, Natural and has been awarded for some of his work. Mama Kin is the first band that is going to release its album via Leon.
After roaming around the Industrial/gothic world and leaving behind all these dark electro ambient crap, Samael returned to their Black Metal roots.
\r\n“Above” is their latest release and is nothing more than a come back to their original sound. The otherworldly shadow of this album seems to rise majestically “Above” all their previews releases breeding new darkness which seems to take form through demonic blastbeating, nightmarish guitar riffs and hellish growls while the absence of keys makes the whole album sounding raw and merciless.

\r\nTIME HAS COME AGAIN\r\n \r\n
\r\n-Archaic- is Thrash/Death band from Hungary , formed back in 2004.In 2006 they released by themselves their first album.After some years they managed to sign with Vic Records and in these days they are recording their second full length album. Vic records thought that it would be perfect to release again their first album through them some months before the second album as a promotional trick.\r\n
\r\nThere are some bands out there who have put new elements to their music in order to attract a bigger audience, there are also bands that completely changed their music style appealing to a brand new audience.
\r\nLacuna Coil belong to the second category. Forget everything about the band you used to know in the first 2 albums. The only thing in common is Christina Scabbia’s voice. Apart from that, shallow life takes the “modern” sound of “karmacode” even further to a more Pop direction making their style even more “commercial”
