Another little band of the lot which is attempting to take it’s first steps into this chaos we call ’’music industry’’. Manzana come from Finland and Nothing As Whole As A Broken Heart is their debut album. The band tries combining different genres, not only from the extreme sound, since as the band states, we also hear a Grunge clue to it. The impression I was given on this particular band, is that they are full of themselves, a fact we conclude to based on their bio and on the details we find on their myspace page.

\r\nIvory Night is the band

\r\nThere are times when talk\r\nis cheap. So let’s stay to the essence as far as HATE are concerned and let’s\r\ncut the unnecessary chit chat. Morphosis is the 5th full length\r\nalbum of the band and it’s definitely a good chance to educate ourselves. Here\r\nwe find well played well bonded “Polish” Death Metal in the vein of Vader, Crionics etc. It is full of energy, hate but also feeling even though it’s rough\r\nin it’s nature.

\r\nThis record really made me\r\nthink. I liked almost all songs, but, on the other hand the only thing we can\r\nfind here is a copycat of Children Of Bodom and\r\nspecifically the era of Hate\r\nCrew Deathroll and Are You Dead Yet? Made Of Hate come\r\nfrom Poland\r\nand Bullet In Your Head is their debut album through AFM Records.

\r\nThis is the third release for the German Noekk who have a common characteristic with Empyrium and The Vision Bleak. And that characteristic is Mr Schwadorf (who is under the name F.F. Yugoth here). I am going to cut right into the chase. Noekk is a band someone can fixate and adore or hate. Unfortunately for me I am with the second group. Within the 35 minutes that the record I couldn’t find one thing that would draw my attention or excitement at least. The album The Minstrel’s Curse includes 4 tracks which last long.

\r\nFinnish Mygrain were formed back in the summer of 2004 from the ashes if the New science band. Their album “Signs of existence” are their second album which was released through Spinefarm. The band plays a mixture which seems to be extremely popular nowadays in Finland. Heavy guitars with obsessive riffs, clear and brutal vocals, futuristic keys and groovy drums. The whole style brings Children Of Bodom to mind in the Are you dead yet, In Flames in Reroute to remain, and Amorphis sometimes even Slipknot if I dare to say.

Οι Φιλανδοί Miseria κατάφεραν να μου κεντρίσουν την προσοχή με την πρÏŽτη νÏŒτα του Tale Νeverending.

\r\nFinnish Withering had released the album "Gospel of Madness" in 2004 and even though with delay, we shall comment on this cd, because it is worthmentioned. Even if it was released in 2004, all the songs are in the style, which Finland has in 90s. The receipt is classic and successful. Heavy guitars in the background, simple melodic and inspiring leads and of course dark and melancholic brutal vocals, everything in mid-tempo rythms with a very good production. In other words, typical finnish melodic death metal.

\r\nFinnish Dark The Suns are trying to play a mix between Nightwish and Dark Tranquility (kind of). Heavy guitars, piano in a leading role, clean pseudo-gothic and brutal vocals compose the whole mood. The compositions are quite mediocre and reused although the melodies on which the tracks are based are good enough. What totally spoiled my feeling is the enormous lack of personality both in style and in compositions.

\r\nHere things are very simple. Finnish Pain Confessor will surely make you bang your head in a violent manner. Thrash/Death with a slender touch of melodies (imperceptible one). Something like Testament meets At The Gates meets Soilwork. Perfect production, hardening riffs, drums that carry you to extremes and even though there are quite breaks, the adrenaline still remains up in high levels through the entirety of the CD. Many words are unnecessary, all 10 tracks are wild smashers. So invest fearlessly. \r\n
