THREAT SIGNAL „Under Reprisal”
Huh? Whats that I hear in the distance? A familiar sound; comes around on its yearly orbit professing to destroy all in its path yep thats it straight out of Donzdorf Germany, a massive hulking beast they call the Hype Machine. All props to the guys at Nuclear Blast, they do enormous work in the name of metal and I love them dearly.
REQUIEM „Formed at Birth”
“Formed at Birth” is the second release from Swiss death metalers, Requiem, this time on the German label Revenge Productions. It's pure brutal death, but very melodic.
CANNAE „Gold Becomes Sacrifice”
Cool Songs: Rats, Snakes & Thieves, Indemnity, Mechanics of Moving Backwards, Bastinado, Acts of False Signals.
.
CIPHER SYSTEM / BY NIGHT „Split Ep”
This release is somewhat of a departure for Germanys Lifeforce label. Predominately a Metalcore label (and one of the better ones), most of their roster is made up of local German, American or UK acts.
OMNIUM GATHERUM „Years in Waste”
Cool songs: The Fall Went right through here, Waste of Bereavement, Black Seas Cry, Gravesilence.
.
FURIA „Un Lac De Larmes Et De Sang”
After a short intro that sounds like a typical French song festival song, Furia immediately starts to try to catch up with the impression that was generated by its name. And I must say they really succeed in that, (but I'll try to keep my personal opinion on this band out of the review).
.
EMBRACED „Amorous Anathema”
All of us have our very special and favorite CDs. They set our standards on how Metal should sound like.
