ARRIVAL „An Abstract of Inertia”
I must admit to knowing nothing at all about this lot. I heard one of the songs off this album on a sampler I picked up in France and found myself quite intrigued.
ARCTURUS „The Sham Mirrors”
Third I generate of Arcturus, The sham mirrors, arrives with the load that another almost twin group, Ulver, has put in its shoulders. What undeniably it puts in risk the identity of Arcturus, that would consider it like the most gothic part and metal fist of the Ulver-Arcturus pair, that is the bands in which the creative and amazing performance, they make a work monumental of each album.
ARCH ENEMY „Wages of Sin”
Push the cd in the player, hear a short intro, that can be discribed as the moment before jumping of a mountain, and listen to the falling… This album has it all! Killing riffs (actually all the time), wonderful solo's, great atmospheric parts, more mysterious songs, but also more brutal and aggressive ones! Add to that: great aggressive vocals from a new (really good-looking) female vocalist, yes, you'll be amazed if you hear her, crushing most male vocalists in the genre.
ARCH ENEMY „Anthems Of Rebellion”
Sorry guys, I couldn't wait, I downloaded the album. But don't worry, I'll buy it later, as soon as it's available here.
ANTHENORA „The General's Awakening”
Anthenora is an Italian band which exists since 1990. they are into classic heavy metal with the well-known influences.
ANOREXIA NERVOSA „New Obscurantis Order”
Frenchmen are still in the attack, and Osmose records are trying to regain their former name of a cult record company. This is what we can say briefly about things which occured in 2002 in France.

Cool Songs: Border Of Reality, Nightmare, When I Die, Where The Wind Blows, Behind The Mirror

ANGELCORPSE „The Inexorable”
Translated by: Michal” rows=”20″ cols=”70″ class=”form”>I have to admit that when I heard the debut album of Angel Corpse – “Hammer of the Gods”, I wasn't too pleased. Don't get me wrong, it was an alright album, but it didn't foretell what was going to happen in the future (IMO).
ANATHEMA „A Natural Disaster”
I don't know what is your opinion about Anathema and the new music style they follow in their last albums but I think that we all have to admit that these guys know very well how to compose songs that emit many feelings to the listener and how to present us an album that is overruned by a unique atmosphere. “A Natural Disaster” is their latest gift to all of us who like music with passion.
ANATA „Under a Stone with No Inscription”
This is a very strange release! Anata are into progressive death/grind metal and the funny thing is that they have some really interesting and catchy parts and at the same time they present us some very boring ones too. They seem to be good musicians but I think that they need to concentrate on a more specific style, without mixing others, in order to present a good release as a whole.
