CIRCLE II CIRCLE „The Middle Of Nowhere”
Savatage is by far my favorite metal band and Circle II Circle is the band that Z. Stevens formed after he left Jon Oliva’s company.
LINEAR SPHERE „Reality Dysfunction”
Linear Sphere is a new metal band and I have heard many good things about them. I have their album for a long time now and I have listened to it many times.
NAUMACHIA „Wrathorn”
Naumachia is a new band from Poland and Wrathorn is their debut album. It was released back in 2003 by Empire and in the beginning of 2005 the French label Adipocere released this album in the rest of Europe and in North America.
SHATTERED HOPE „A View Of Grief”
I have no info about Shattered Hope. I got their demo cd by a member of the band in the live show of Saturnus in Greece and I guess it is their debut one as I havent heard their name again and they are young as I can see in their photo.
BELONGING, THE „Setting The Scene”
The Belonging is an underground black metal band from England. Formed in 1998 and 3 years later they released their debut demo.
PSYCHOTRON „Open The Gate”
Psychotron is a band I was unaware of its existence. They come from Germany and not surprisingly they are into speed/thrash metal.
HELLFIRE „Requiem My Bride”
When I go the promo of Hellfire in my hands I thought it was the new album of the Greek thrash metal band but I was wrong. Requiem For My Bride is the second album of this Polish metal band that was formed back in 1999 and released their debut album Recoffination in 2003 at their own expense.
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.
FORGOTTEN TOMB „Loves Burial Ground”
This is a great surprise for me. I was unaware of Forgotten Tomb and I was prepared to listen to another typical black metal band but from the very first notes of Loves Burial Ground I realized that there is something good here.
IN TEARS BEREAVED „Komatos”
In Tears Bereaved is an one mans band from Austria. Roman Modliba was the only person behind this band during the recordings of this demo release.
