COG „Culling”
Cog have been around for the better part of this decade and to their credit, the sextet easily rank among South East Asias most promising bands. Their sound the sum total of influences whose breadth spans several familiar genres, for this sophomore album titled Culling the band remain ever unpredictable and begin matters on an interesting note with the riveting opener Dissolve. Comparing Cog to any modern band would be difficult, so lets just forget the references and dissect the songs here.

SIN „Audio Summoned Flesh”
Right before reviewing the better albums of 2009 gets underway (as if it hasnt already), a few leftovers from the previous year still deserve their time in the spotlight here at Metalcentre. And among all the dross that hasnt been rated yet, its Sins Audio Summoned Flesh that trumps the competition for a few good reasons.

INTOLERANT „Reasons For Unrest”
Not wasting time with fancy intros, Clenched Fist starts this debut album on a loud note. Reminiscent of Machine Head and Soulfly, the latter-day Thrash Metal Intolerant play comes steeped in aggression and bouncy grooves.
EVOLUTION „Marcator Project”
If youre already jaded by the sea of mediocre bands flooding the internet at the moment, then you should let Evolution inside your life. They may posses the plainest name possible for any metal band, but honestly, Evolution are one of those rare gems whose singer is uniquely blessed with Ozzy Osbournes singing voice.
KRATORNAS „Subterranean Sodomies (Demo)”
KRATORNAS history is a complex one and the metal historians would have problems in finding the reasons of such turns in it. Everything started in 1995, when Bruno recorded the first demo tape titled Realm of Goatlust, containing two extremely fast black metal tracks, inspired mainly by TIAMAT and MOONSPELL.
