ROSE FUNERAL „Crucify Kill Rot”
ROSE FUNERAL borrows influences from the old and new death metal scene in native, Midwest, United States. The newer death metal influences come from their Michigan neighbors, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.
SHADES OF DUSK „Caress the Despair”
Bands like IN FLAMES and AT THE GATES have spawned a large international following with their brand of melodic, emotional death metal. Some bands are poor knockoffs of the sound; while others have looked to the conventions of this style for inspiration to create something that is uniquely their own.
GOD DETHRONED „The Toxic Touch”
The Toxic Touch is Hollands GOD DETHRONEDs follow up album to their 2004 album Liar of the White Worm. Their previous effort was a concept album based on Bram Stokers story of the same name. The Toxic Touch is a concept album in its own right.

ALL THAT REMAINS „The Fall of Ideals”
Along with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and UNEARTH, New Englands ALL THAT REMAINS is a band that focuses more on heaviness and musicianship, and less on fashion and whiney, Emo vocals. Sure, vocalist Philip Labonte sings with clean vocals, but his vocals are dripping with passion and pain, instead of the bouncy, teeny-bopper, Pop Punk vocals that have seem to taken over this scene in the last couple of years.
BEHIND THE SCENERY „Rétroviseur”
Behind The Scenery is a 5 piece of Melodic Death band, screaming out from Germany. “Rétroviseur” is their 3rd album.

THE ABSENCE „From Your Grave”
There used to be a time (a very important time in fact) back in the early 90s when all you found coming out of Tampa Bay, Florida were Death Metal bands. Of course, many of them are still with us, but as a scene things are not what they used to be.
DUSKFALL, THE „Lifetime Supply of Guilt”
The Duskfall are a new name to me. Their musical style most certainly isnt.
KATAKLYSM „Shadows and Dust”
The Canadian band Kataklysm started in the grindcore/blast-scene, and so far, Kataklysm has managed to grow on each release. Therefor, this one just blasts everything away! This album is one of the best melodic death albums around.
DARK TRANQUILLITY „Damage Done”
Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates, Soilwork and In Flames are THE bands that created the Gothenburg sound (also called Swedish or Melodic Death Metal) some years ago, and found the path that is nowadays being followed by many other bands like Norhter and Killswitch Engage.
