\r\nBands such as Nasum do not need introduction. Unfortunately, life is very unfair and as it has proved us many times, it plays curious games in people that would not be supposed to, so that they are not amongst us. Four years have passed since the tsunami struck in Indonesia, which resulted in the loss of Mieszko Talarczyk’s life, who was there on vacation with his family.
\r\nYES, the best Greek black metal band Naer Mataron has finally returned with a fucking killer new album, entitled "Praetorians". Trying to gather my scattered all over the place brains in order to be able to write this review let’s start by saying, well, ladies and gentlemen "Praetorians" kicks some major fucking asses!!!!WOW, am I being totally subjective here because I so fucking love this band? DON’T THINK SO!!They are simply grandiose, huge, immense, enormous!!!
\r\nI never had great relationships with the music of Inactive Messiah. There were some songs that I liked through their last album Be My Drug but that’s all. It need to be mentioned that the band in recent time, had made great steps of improvement and specifically at this moment they hit the roads with Vader, Devian and Septic Flesh. Their new album that releases again on behalf of Holy Records is named Sinful Nation and I do not hide that I liked it more from the previous one.
\r\nBattleroar were formed in 2000, but up to today they have accomplished many. Before few days in deed they were presented also in Keep It True of Germany. Their new album is named To Death And Beyond and releases on behalf of Italian Cruz Del Sur Music. The first thing that somebody -who has listened to the previous albums of the band- observes, is that the production is in very superior levels and this is something that automatically gets higher the quality of the release.
\r\nΓια τη μπάντα αυτή το μοναδικÏŒ πράγμα που γνωρίζουμε είναι\r\nÏŒτι παίζει Hard Rock και ÏŒτι εντάσσεται στο δυναμικÏŒ της Black Mark.

\r\nUnearthly Trance. A band that’s a unique case with the good significance of word. They come from America and this is their fourth completed album. The fact that we see the word Relapse in the back part of CD should make us suspecious because the particular company releases only masterpieces in recent times. After the first listening therefore, the conclusion has come out! Rightly we should be suspected and even this CD he is one of the masterpieces of this company.
\r\nSecond album from this exceptional band from Chile. Mar De Grises is perhaps the only group that can combine with so much easiness Doom/Death Metal elements with the many Progressive passages and Post Metal drawings. Draining The Waterheart is the absolute continuity of The Tatterdemalion Express but in order to be sincere in the previous album, there were times that make me feel tired. These moments exist also here but they are less and good elements is what finally remains in our mind.
The new effort by the Italians “Cemetary Rockers” L Impero Delle Ombre, reached me through this split 7’’ release, along with the other Italians Bub Tribe. Both bands features on track each on this release.
At last, the first full length release by Jex Thoth has reached me. The first effort by the band has been released under the name “Totem” back in 2007, and was the selftitled ep. After this release they changed their name to Jex Thoth and released a split 7’’ with the lengedary Pagan Altar. And At last this year the band released their first full length release, via I Hate Records again.
\r\nSadness, desperation, sentiment. Melody, brutality, darkness. Shuddering and afterwards again sadness. More strong and more intense. Emotion that Moonspell returned with a masterpiece. Emotion that there are still bands that feel and the inhexaustible inspiration will always follow them. The waiting therefore finished and Night Eternal reached in our hands. Many people admit this to be the best album of the year. Personally I do not have no reason for disagreeing. Absolutely no one. No one absolutely.
