SEVERED SAVIOR „Brutality is Law”
Brutal death metal from Severed Savior in the vein of Cannibal Corpse and Vader. The production is ok and generally we have a good and promising band here who just need to find something more to make the big step.
SECRETUM „Happy, Happy Killing Time”
Thrash attack!!! “Happy, happy killing time” is the debut album for Secretum and they follow the path that German bands are good into. Yes right, thrash metal but not the German way.
SACROSANCTUM „Fragments”
This is the debut album of this band from Czech. Sacrosanctum are into melodic rock/metal with some gothic influences but all songs are of high tempo and they are not keen on slower vibes.
RUNEMAGICK „Darkness, Death, Doom”
This is the latest strike from the Swedish death metallers. But there is a major difference here from their previous albums.

DYING FETUS „Stop at Nothing”
If you are into death metal then you know what to do. Dying Fetus is a band that we all know will not let us down.
CALVARIUM „The Skull of Golgotha”
Calvarium is a new band which have signed to the also new Dynamic Arts records from Finland. The first impression was excellent as this release comes in a very well designed digipack edition with very well-designed artwork.
ANKH „Expect Unexpected”
Ankh is a Polish electronic progressive rock band which exists since 1991 and this is their fifth release. Although they are considered to be one of the best bands from Poland and have won several music prizes I doubt about how they can interest a metal fan.
