RUINS OF EARTH „Ashes of the Ocean”
RUINS OF EARTH's dynamic debut offering “Ashes of the Ocean” begins with an instrumental introduction; just a few seconds of tension building noises and static that leave no hint to the musical bounty which lies beyond.

GEHTIKA „This New World”
Here is Gehtika, yet another uninspiring hardcore/metalcore type outfit, complete with strained, forced screams and open chug-chug-chug breakdowns (of which there is no shortage), as standard. Which is fine, if you're into that, but for the rest of us who prefer our metal with beards and balls, it's starting to get a little monotonous.

Having churned out a storied discography that has seen its fair share of ill received albums, Paradise Lost are in fine form with this year's embittered Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us. The title a not-so-subtle swipe at organized religions divisive effect on humanity, the lyrical fare on this twelfth album does spread itself across a broader messageor should it be messages? For the heartbreaking opener As Horizons End, Nick Holmes deep vocals sweeps the listener away with its earnest emotion while the lyrics moan about personal shortcomings. When its done, the band go a shade darker for its follow up I Remain then let loose the melodic fireworks on the soaring First Light. The somber ride continues on Frailty that arrives before a passable title track churns for a few good minutes.
