Reviews
\r\n What can I say about this album!! From the very first notes "Man Made Paradise" has no other goal than to grab you by the hair, bang your head against the nearest wall and spill your blood all over the place! I got so thrilled from the very first hearing that I didn’t start this review with the usual way.
\r\n Loits is an Estonian band and they call their style "Militant Flak ’N’ Roll". According to the band "The birth of this slogan belong to our friend Mart Kalvet from the band Herald, who figured that instead of ’black’ we could use ’flak’ (anti-air gun), a word with a similar pronouncement. It fits our ideology and message much better.
\r\n Another old release from Nailboard Records and another one from the Estonians Metsatoll. This album was the band’s first demo, self-released in 1999 and re-released later on in 2005 by Nailboard Records with the title "Terast Mis Hangund Me Hinge 10218 " ("Steel frozen in our souls"), a different cover and 1 bonustrack. Metsatoll connects traditional Eastern European Folk with hard guitars, driving basslines, playful percussion and an eastern atmosphere.
\r\n The Void’s "Vision Of The Truth" contains nine tracks of dark/gothic metal with also strong references to 80s doom and dark wave scene, inspired by bands like Moonspell, Paradise Lost, Tiamat and Type Or Negative. Existing since 1998, the Italian group calls its music as a mixture between Dark Metal and Gothic Doom.
\r\nBathory epic metal, this would be a very accurate title for the album “Vengeance”. The spiritual child of Walter Crom Grosse, guitarist and bassist of the German Black Metallers Dark Fortress, after 2-3 demos and an EP releases its first full length album with Pure Steel Records.
Well, this is a typical example of a Greek band that despite all their efforts, they managed to release their first album, after 19 years of their foundation. So , Nordor despite the fact that they are a band since 1989, only this year managed to release their first album, better late, than never then.
This is the first release by the Greeks, Infravision via Secret Port Records. While I ve been reading the promo cd’s promo leaflet, my eye caught that in the section that refer similar bands , there is the name “In Flames” something that made me believe that this album is going to be another trendy death metal kind of Shit.
\r\n“La Rosa Del ‘ Deserto” is the second release from this Italian guitar wizard, Giuseppe Silvestri and has been released via the greek label Secret Port Records. Thing are simple in this case. I ve been listening to many instrumental guitar virtuoso albums over the years, and only a few of them, really deserved to be instrumental, and this one deserves to be one for sure.
\r\nEast Trading Wang is an Estonian band existing since 1997 and "Favela, Yayo, Caipirinha" is their second album, although released back in 2005.
