FROM BEYOND „Thrashin' Machine”
From Beyond, THRASHIN' MACHINE, bang it up hard and fast with thrash played the way it once was in the past with this 5 song, 20 minute and 11 second EP. With Tom Angelripper styled vocals and a guitarist who resembles Schmier of Destruction, THRASHIN' MACHINE is bound to wreck some necks.
FROM THE INSIDE „s/t, featuring Danny Vaughn”
Okay, to be honest, I have never been so busy with reviewing an album like that… That´s why it took a longer time.
FROST „Cursed Again”
Which is the most important black metal band? Which is the band that has influenced most of nowadays black metal bands? Right! Mayhem!!! So, Frost, who come from England, are into black metal with their only influence to be Mayhem. Their singer tries to sound like Attila with good results and generally this album is much alike the first albums of Mayhem.
EYES OF FIRE „Ashes to Embers”
I must admit my initial ignorance towards 'Eyes of Fire' upon the release of this full length. I was aware of it's potential and the 90% rave reviews it was receiving, but for some reason I forgot about it.
EDGUY „Mandrake”
Will these german guys ever stop amazing us?, I hope not, with their fifth album they show enough maturity to become one of the main bands in the overpopulated german metal scene.

ELEKTRIK „Mistress”
This is a cd that couldnt hold my attention very well. When listening to the vocals I heard Paul Stanley of early Kiss.
ELENIUM „Them Used Gods”
This is a very good demo cd from this finnish band. They follow the veins of Children of Bodom and they do it well.
EMBRACED „Amorous Anathema”
All of us have our very special and favorite CDs. They set our standards on how Metal should sound like.
THE END „Transfer Trachea Reverberations From Point: False Omniscient”
The End…I was sure I was missing something about them when I listened to their album! You need to be a little bit crazy to compose such technical and schizophrenic music. Oh yes!!! They are from Canada.
ENTER CHAOS „Dreamworker”
Dreamworker is Enter Chaos' debut, and I must say they did more than a fair job. But the album sounds not extremely interesting, and they didn't manage to impress me.
