LUXT „American Beast”
Luxt are a five piece band from northern California that play a style that I have never heard before. They play a self-proclaimed “cyber voodoo rock”.
HEADLINE „Voices Of Presence”
This is a disc that was givin to me by a friend as a promo so there was not any info on the band of any history of the band that came with it. At first this disc was a disapointment so I thought I would at least give it a couple more times to listen to it to see if It would grow on me.
HEADUP „s/t”
This is another two track demo from a UK band called HEADUP. the first song New Years Resolution starts out with one hell of a good guitar riff and the bottom end to back it up then the singer kicks in and just screws it up.
HYPNOTIC SCENERY „Deeper And Deeper”
This band is new to me and without knowing much about them other then they are from the Czech republic. The CD starts out with a simple opening then proceeds to jump into the first song which should grab your attention but does not.
IN FLAMES „Reroute to Remain”
In my opinion IN FLAMES, Anders Friden, Jesper Stromblad, Peter Iwers, Bjorn Gelotte, and Daniel Svensson are the bast thing metal wise that Sweden has going for it right now. The new disc Reroute to Remain stay's true to the In Flames sound but yet it takes the listener on a new and different ride all together.
IRON CLAD „Lost in a Dream”
IRON CLAD are from Belgium and offer up a very pleasant piece here. This being only a 4 track disc this makes you wonder what they might be able to do given the chance to record a full CD.
ISENGARD „Crownless Majesty”
This being the first time ever hearing this band I was very impressed and found it hard removing it from my player. Being Into bands such as Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Rapsody and other progresive power metal bands this disc will get your attention real quike.
JESTERS MOON „s/t”
What can be said about this CD other then boring and leads nowhere. The first few songs on this disc grabs your attention and really makes you think you are in for a treat then it slows way down.
GOD MACHINE „s/t”
This is GOD MACHINES first effort as a band and the CD only has two tracks so this review will not be very long. I do not have much info on this band other then there web site address and the list of the members.
GODSMACK „Faceless”
Well, the boy's of GODSMACK are back with another disc of metal for the masses. I received this CD as a promo so no set list at this time is available.
