LOU SIFFER & THE HOWLING DEMONS „At Your Service”

LOU & THE HOWLING SIFFER DEMONS is a group of people united by the similar fascination, that is love for fast cars and motorbikes and music of Rock. “At Your Service” is the second album of the band and of course the further evidence of the fascination, what is audible in the sounds, in the texts and it is visible in the graphic design of the album.

WITCHERY „Witchkrieg”

Melody and the brutal burgers are two ingredients that are hard to balance within a particular aural dish. Thanks to a little supergroup magic however, the two coexist most harmonious and explode in hellish fireworks across the 40 odd minutes of “Witchkrieg,” the uncompromising new album from Sweden’s preeminent extreme heavy metal, uh, supergroup.

THE GENERALS „Stand Up Straight”

Ever the fount of metallic goodness, this year Sweden gives us The Generals: four musical tough guys (one of them’s named a very Viking Hednar) whose sound straddles thrash metal’s intensity and the peculiar death n’ roll subgenre. Kicking the door down on this oddly named “Stand Up Straight” debut is the no-bullshit opener “Blessing In Disguise” that introduces the listener to the band’s penchant for solid riffs and battering percussion corsetted in melody.

DREAM EVIL „In The Night”

Their music among the purest expressions of power metal imaginable with its shameless cheese and mighty emphasis on melody, Dream Evil are still quite the funny bunch. Having forged a career unequaled in terms of sheer ridiculous-ness that began with the Dungeons n Dragons themed “Dragonslayer” to the near-perfect “Book Of Heavy Metal” followed by the retrogressive “United,” all guns blazing has always been Dream Evil’s marching orders despite the accompanying snickers from their audience.

SCAR SYMMETRY „Dark Matter Dimensions”

Forging ahead despite vocalist extraordinaire Christain Alvestam’s abrupt departure last year, Scar Symmetry continue with the business of melodic death metal married to alternating vocals on their breathtaking “Dark Matter Dimensions.” The difference this time around is two people are needed to fill Mr. Alvestam’s shoes; you have the growlsome Robert Karlsson opposite Lars Palmquist’s majestic throatwork.

DISMEMBER „“Under Bloodred Skies” DVD”

One of the creators of Swedish death metal, DISMEMBER, returns with its second visual offering “Under Bloodred Skies.” The two-disc DVD contains a concert filmed at Party San Open Air festival in Germany, a documentary and bonus footage. The two-disc presentation is similar to the group’s first DVD “Live Blasphemies,” but instead of focusing on the band’s career during the documentary, the “Under Bloodred Skies” documentary looks at events after 2004, thus bridging the time gap between the two documentaries.
