The Idiom “Better Late Than Never” seems to fit perfectly in this case. The reason is that despite the fact that this 12’’ has been released on 14 February 2008, I only managed to have my copy, a couple of days ago (thanks to E –Bay once again). But since many of us seems to dig the doom metal scene, I feel that despite the fact that this review is late, would be useful to some readers.
\r\nI remember that it was some time ago when I was first introduced to the band and a discussion that I had with a friend about them was enough for me to look for material of theirs. A few years later, I see that they seem to take one step at the time, through very good albums, actually 6 so far if I am not mistaken (including the new one), however they remain hidden somewhere in what is called Underground scene. And that in my opinion is so wrong for them.
\r\nThis is the third full length release, after “The Awakening” (2004) and “Suffer No Guilt” (2006) efforts by the US (Indianapolis) based Doom metal outfit, entitled “Conqueror”. Of course during these years except the full length releases, Gates Of Slumber counts many Split 7’’, Split CD’s, EP’s and of course a great collection (“Villain Villain” 2007) with some alternative versions, demo versions and cover songs (Saint Vitus, Manilla Road)
Signum Regis is a band founded by the bass player and songwriter Ronnie Konig in 2007, surving the purpose of composing different music than his regular band, used to play. Hiring one of the most gifted vocalists (Goran Edman), who has worked with guitar heroes such as John Norum (Total Control) and Yngwie J. Malmsteen (Eclipse - Fire and Ice) among others, has turned to be a very inspired idea for the whole efford.
This release reached me a couple of weeks ago, although this is a last year’s release, but it would be nice to include this one in metalzone.gr review section since is a very good release.
\r\n25 years have already past for the veteran thrashers Destruction, who strike back with a new "in-your-face" album.Despite the fact that the band carries a quarter of a century in its back, the only word that you can’t use to describe it, is "tired". What else could anybody expect from Schmier’s gang, but a pure old school thrash release? On the other hand, modern production (made by Jacob Hansen) carries them to the present and make them sound as fresh(??) as a newbie band!!
\r\nThe Banner is a metalcore band from New Jersey, USA and "Frailty" is their third LP. The album consists of twelve tracks of hardcore punk music with ejections of the modern thrash and metal. Mostly the sound is an angry, intense musical assault with fast riffs and double-bass drums and of course the usual emphasis on breakdowns built by slower, passages and chugging guitars with a strong Black Sabbath-esque flair conducive to a ruthless moshing while the vocalist is screaming out the lyrics full of passion and anger.
