There is a bit more of a rock vibe to this in places, but not to the point of distraction. The guitars are nice and heavy, with some punishing, groovy riffs and some really good leads.

10. Summoning Of The Ancient Ones

Debut album by Merciless Death. Super catchy trash metal. Raging and relentless. The album is only 25 minutes long, but what a ride. The music barely gives you time to take a breath, it's fast, heavy and nails you to the ground to the very last second, while the vocalist does thrash vocals the right way - clear, loud, yet harsh and aggressive, without forgetting the occasional high pitched scream. A heavy Kreator influence and definite early Slayer.

The guitars sound dirty and the bass is muddy, giving the album a down-to-earth, raw feel.

Great 'Ep by PC Death Squad. 14-minute self-released EP by what basically amounts to a "joke" band. There's some serious thrash/crossover metal action going on here. It's rooted in complete sarcasm and at times immaturely embellished humor, but for the most part said humor is actually amusing here.

3rd album by Birdflesh. It is essentially pure old-school grind worship in the vein of Napalm Death, with lots of heavy riffing, blastbeats and really short songs, but Birdflesh tends to do it in an enjoyable manner beyond what one would expect. The riffing is usually very straightforward and easy to follow. The arrangements of the riffs and drum work will keep your head banging and blood pressure rising.

Lyrics are politically charged and express their anger and disapproval of what's happening in the world today. The album features guest vocals from Barney Greenway (Napalm Death), Lou Koller (Sick Of It All), Jan-Chris de Joeijer (Gorefest) and a guest solo by Pepe Hansen(Hatesphere).

8. Just Say Know
9. Glory Hole
10. Back To The Mountain

3rd album by Yakuza, featuring a number of guests, including Minsk bassist Sanford Parker, pianist Jim Baker, cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm and Mastodon guitarist Troy Sanders. Yakuza’s crucial point is their inclusion of saxophone and clarinet. Some parts sound like classical metal, some parts very chaotic. Blending electric and organic instrumentation is never easy, but Yakuza can maintain an adequate balance of the aggressive, the experimental and the melodic throughout the course of an entire album.

The songs are fast paced walls of sound, with a thick guitar sound, virtually inexistent bass, awesome drumming and very tasteful vocals.

Debut album by I, a project consisting of Abbath (Immortal), TC King (Ov Hell, Sahg), Armagedda (Demonaz) and Ice Dale(Demonaz, Enslaved, Ov Hell). They play some slow, melodic riffs, simplistic drums and groovish bass lines. Abbath delivers similar vocals as he does in Immortal, except slowed down, with a Lemmy or even Rob Miller of Amebix fame twist. Though the majority of the songs are slower in pace and more simplistic than other offerings from these band members, the delivery is solid.
