ANTHENORA „Soulgrinder”
A band from Italy Nooo, do not think of a bombastic symphonic metal band. No, there are really Italians left who play a little different music than that.
SPEEDY GONZALES „Electric Stalker”
Good songs: Medals, Free like an eagle, Spit in the hand that feeds you, Trial by fire, Lust and desire
.
RAZORBACK „Criminal Justice”
The second album Criminal Justice of the melodic metal band RAZORBACK starts with a track that does not only fit to be the opening track, no, this song has also got a killer riffing and a sing along, easy chorus. The Animal Anger follower even can offer more!
.
LIGHT THIS CITY „Remains of the Gods”
Cool Songs: The Hunt, The Static Masses, Remains of the Gods, The Last Catastrophe, Obituary.
.
INFLICTION „The Silencer”
I hate to form preconceptions about certain bands, but when the words metal and Italy are combined, I am never overawed with enthusiasm. Theres always something melodically awkward about the Italians and their take on the metal sound and I was expecting much the same with this new Infliction album.
RUSSELL ALLEN & JORN LANDE „The battle”
The power metalheads of MASTERPLAN with their charismatic singer Jorn Lande have not been unkown people for a long time now. Also SYMPHONY X have a high status in the progressive metal area, whose singer Russell Allen pooled together with Lande and they now play a foreign metal style for both.
HELLOWEEN „Mrs. God (digipack single)”
The German melodic metal basement complex HELLOWEEN around Ex-Pink Cream 69 singer Andi Deris throw out an album to the market that surely will split up the fans into 2 teams. I am talking about the Keeper of the seven keys The legacy.
TWLIGHTNING „Plague House Puppet Show”
Initially things don’t start out too well for this band. First impressions for me went something like this: Terrible name, terrible cover art, terrible album title, and terrible band? The first three descriptions I quite comfortable with – their name is truly awful, their cover choice is abysmal and the album title is almost as convoluted as their name.
