ENTER CHAOS „Dreamworker”
Dreamworker is Enter Chaos' debut, and I must say they did more than a fair job. But the album sounds not extremely interesting, and they didn't manage to impress me.
EXPLOITED, THE „Fuck The System”
Probably you'll get upset about me reviewing this “shit”, but I feel I really need to do this, because I believe that this is really cool shit.

DARK FORTRESS „Profane Genocidal Creations”
Profane Genocidal Creations is Dark Fortress' second album, after Tales From Eternal Dusk. PGC really is a masterpiece, all Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Dissection fans, eat this!
.
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.

DARKANE „Expending Senses”
Damn, NO songs on this album that jump out, the album in itsself is just a jump-out! Yeah, this is what I wanted, this is wat I needed, this is what allays my hunger for good music! Melodic, heavy and thrashy. Adrenaline filled tracks that hit you like a fist in your face (as they should).
CRADLE OF FILTH „Damnation and a Day”
After I heard the new CoF was out I immediately tried to get my hands on it, hoping the music was as good as the cover looks, and I still don't regret buying it, for this album is the best ever produced by Dani Filth and his mates. It's better than dusk and her embrace, better than from the cradle to enslave and even cruelty and the beast, better than midian, and definitely better than those last two commercial releases.
CURRICULUM MORTIS „Into Death – Demo”
Curriculum Mortis stands for the opposite of the circle of life: the cycle of death. I suppose Into Death is the first phase of this cycle.
ARCH ENEMY „Wages of Sin”
Push the cd in the player, hear a short intro, that can be discribed as the moment before jumping of a mountain, and listen to the falling… This album has it all! Killing riffs (actually all the time), wonderful solo's, great atmospheric parts, more mysterious songs, but also more brutal and aggressive ones! Add to that: great aggressive vocals from a new (really good-looking) female vocalist, yes, you'll be amazed if you hear her, crushing most male vocalists in the genre.
ARCH ENEMY „Anthems Of Rebellion”
Sorry guys, I couldn't wait, I downloaded the album. But don't worry, I'll buy it later, as soon as it's available here.
AJATTARA „Kuolema”
A friend of mine told me to check them out some time ago, so I did, and I must say I like Ajattara.
