KEENANTS „Lets Start From The Beginning”
Thanks to good kindness of Alkemist Fanatix Europe I had opportunity to acquaint oneself with representatives Italian “alternative metal” scene. “Alternative metal” because bands (AQUEFRIGIDE, KEENANTS, DEFLORE, FIGURE OF SIX, CHAOS CONSPIRACY), which music I acquainted, they oscillate between industrial, psychedelic music, grooves, crossover, past hard core and nu metal
.
DOPE „American Apathy”
The absolute best thing about this new Dope disc is its value for money. Theyve always been a rather fan friendly band (hell, they even told former label Epic to jam it sideways when they allegedly attempted to rip their fan base off) and as such American Apathy is chock full of goodies.
SHATTERSPHERE „In The Face Of Anger”
The next material of SHATTERSPHERE has 5 pieces. The first of them is the title-song “In The Face Of Anger” Entirely it surprised me with modernist approach to the music theme.
GOD.FEAR.NONE „envy”
God.Fear.None. is a new band from Greece that has been risen from the ashes of Sad Wings and includes members of other Greek metal acts like Stagnate and Wastefall.
AFTERFEEDABACK „s/t”
The Spaniards surprised me very pleasantly. If I should to say about it I did not expect anything concrete, when I finding out that they play nu metal , but in time of listening reached to me sharp rhythmical tacts enriched with climatically motives, which caused that nu metal in their realization I liked.
ROT „Provocativ”
Rot managed to impress me with their debut album and I was really expecting their next one in order to see if they could do that again.
.
AFTER FEED-BACK „ee”
After feed-back hails to us all the way from Spain, and they bring with them their own high intensity style of nu-metal. However no matter how intense of a sound that they may have EE still fails to impress me, the main reason being is that it lacks the verity of songs that I have come to expect on an album of this genre.
