ZEROBRIDGE „Havre De Grace EP”
ZEROBRIDGE were created by two Kashmiri brothers who actually grew up near Havre de Grace, Maryland, a city which is described as a stop off for travellers. It seems, that such a complex mixture of characters and cultural background should have an effect on their performance.
GUT „Shrubbery EP”
GUT is a new band on American scene (formed somewhere at the beginning of this century in Boston) and they managed to release one EP, titled Shrubbery, released in 2004. Unfortunately enough, no information about the band is available at the moment.
CLOSER „Darkness In Me EP”
In 2005 some guys involved earlier in the project called WITHERED decided to leave all that setbacks and record label fuzz behind, and make a fresh start, a new beginning. And that is how CLOSER was brought to life, a melodic death metal Swedish band, which has nothing to be ashamed of.
HEREGE „Bang Your Heads EP”
The band was formed in 2001 by Denis, Rodrigo, Mauricio and Selvino, and they were supposed to play some covers of 70s and 80s bands like JUDAS PRIEST, MANOWAR or IRON MAIDEN. After a while, Selvino left the band and they were forced to look for another guitarist, meanwhile creating some of their own material.
FINNTROLL „Trollhammaren EP”
I think that there is no need of introducing this band, actually a living legend of folk metal, one of the best folks in the world. They started their career in 1997 and since then, recorded a lot of stuff, mainly of very high quality (fantastic reviews all over the world).
K-AGAIN „Memories Of An Evolution (EP)”
K-Again was formed in Milan in 1998, as a project formed by musicians previously involved in many independent projects. Since that time they managed to record and release two EPs: Ultra Violence and Ultra Violence Extended.
MIDNITE SNAKE „Midnite Snake EP”
MIDNITE SNAKE is a band from Pittsburgh which proudly states, that the influence on the band is made by ZEPPELINS, SABBATH, HENDRIX, etc. and that we should appreciate this fact.
ANTAGONISM „XXI Century (demo)”
ANTAGONISM is a proof, that Italians can play different music than power or heavy metal. They also prove, that Italians not always have good ideas, when it comes to music.
AUDREY HORNE „Confessions and Alchool EP”
Audrey Horne might be a girls name, but it is not for sure a girlsband. But for those who were expecting a sound alike Gorgoroth or Enslaved, just forget it.
VADER „The art of war”
So this is a new and fresh mini Cd from Vader. At the very beginning I would like to say that is absolutely classical Vaders mini Cd :).
OF INFINITY „The Essence Of Infinity”
I really dont like seeing a metal band becoming popular and then hundreds of bands following the style of that band in order become famous. But when some of them are good I have to admit it.
RIOTS „The Dark Prophecy (EP)”
Riots, since 1999 here on earth, born through Stephan Brune, enlarged by Florian von Bargen in the year 2002 and to be fullfilled by Olaf Kissing on drums and Sebastian Funke on guitars, this German mixture of sleaze, gothic and heavy elements is on the best way to have success. In the Ruhrgebiet/Germany well-known, Riots rocked right to the first places of the worldwide biggest newcomer festival called Emergenza.
DESTRUCTOR „Sonic Bullet”
After 18 years of silence, Destructor has resurfaced from the depths of the Ohio metal underground to once again kick your ass into submission. Sonic Bullet is first collection of new material since 1985s Maximum Destruction which to date is the bands only full-length album.
VILGEFORTZ „Killing one by one”
I’m sorry guys, but this really isn’t my cup of tea. I suppose this is an admirable attempt, but the songs lack a decent production and the guitars sound very weak.
SVARTSYN „Tormentor”
This swe Black.M band has really developed since theirs first album. I enjoy this EP,
.
ROADKILL „Pyramid”
This cd was sent to me by a friend for review. Not knowing much about the band all I have to go on is the music and its presentation.
