Reviews
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”
\r\nSeems that during the last 3 years Amorphis’s songwriting ability has reached its peak. After their latest releases “Eclipse” and “Silent Waters” I really wasn’t expecting them to release something better. Well thankfully “Skyforger” came out to prove me wrong. One more time based on the finnish epic poem “Kalevala” Amorphis offer 10 excelent compositions satisfying even the most demanding of their fans.
\r\n“Infected” will be released only in 2.222 copies worldwide via AFM Records. It’s the new EP from U.D.O., which is Udo Dirkschneider’s band and the full length album is going to be released at the end of August.
