Once again they deliver classic song structures, punishing vocals and precise, razor-sharp guitar work.

Fresh ideas, great musicianship, nice production and a great thrash/speed album.

All the album moves around him, but the songwritting is very simple and weak, sometimes too hard rock. No ideas, no lyrics, some thrashy grooves here and there.

7th album by Elvenking. It is more straightforward, a bit more ‘rock’ than folk but just as focused on the uplifting choruses. Infusing some folk back into the power, this release harkens back to Elvenking’s roots, while simultaneously continuing the catchiness of later releases.

Compared to their previous releases, this release takes a slightly progressive approach and changes the tempo of each song throughout. With a perfect production everything here signs, amazing vocals, riffing and rhythm section.

It's 12 tracks of pit-inspired speed/thrash with a hardcore gloss. the difference with their debut is that the band has a little more groove on its sound. Catchy, aggressive songwritting, vocals sound like a mix of Belladona and Mike Muir and a modern production.

5th album by Ensiferum, 3 years after their brilliant 'From Afar'. The band continues augmenting their traditional folky melodic sound with symphonic elements, creating a sound that was a bit less “pagan-folk” in tone, but a bit more “mainstream”. Even though the band’s formula is rigidly in place, polished, bouncy power metal with clean male, female vocals and harsh blackish vocals, sweeping folky synths and soaring choruses, this release can't stand next to their previous releases.

It is nothing but an adrenaline rush of hyper-speed fusion metal that definitely brings more of Revocation’s thrash influences to the forefront. The band had decided to take some of the death metal out of their sound, leaving a much more chaotic thrash metal beast.

Typical U.S. power/heavy of the '80s where some amazing melodies are going on here with very memorable songs.

Kentucky lyrically, takes an important look at the plight of the Kentucky coal miners, environmentalism and unions. Musically, it blends blackened screams with bluesy singing, electric guitar with banjo and generally old school black metal with country/folk.

This time they've slowed down a bit, imagine Darkthrone covering Celtic Frost in punk version, the production is clearer, but the songwritting is solid as hell.

3rd album by Planks. It shows another leap away from their hardcore/sludge roots into more song-focused and melody driven spheres. The trademarks one loves about the band are still there, grinding guitars, throbbing bass lines and pounding drums. Vocals are still barked and the aggression is still there, but more darkened and with more melodies.

2nd album by Heretic, a band that released a great album back in 1988, then dismissed and now reunited (with 2 past-members). Their music is most firmly rooted in the thrash metal genre, although there are plenty of slower paced elements that puts in mind of traditional heavy/power metal. Melodic without being wimpy, aggressive without being extreme. You’re not going to hear the next big thing, whatever that is, on this release.

5th album by Spectral. This release can be classified as melodic death metal, but restricting ourselves to this label would be to overlook the great work they do to sound like a mixture of different styles, such as black, thrash, folk, pagan and even power. The guitar riffs ranging from moments black, death coming to enter the thrash and power. The keyboards do not take center stage on guitar, maintaining an aggressive sound and powerful but largely give that point of pagan or viking with a dose of epic.

If you’re open to experimental music that’s based on a heavy metal sound but explores worldly sounds, this should be a good listen for you.

13th album by Pro-Pain. This is standard Pro-Pain, but still so damn good and better than the last. There is no lack of angst on this album, no experimental ballad or acoustic alternate version. As you would expect completely brutal with a touch of melody through guitar solos.

Year: 2012



1. Moshing With The Stars
2. You Are What You Eat

5. Smash Potater

After 3 demos and a split 'Ep the time arrived for a whole 'Ep of theirs! Smash Potater delivers manic thrash blended with hardcore.It features 5 tracks but comes in at only 10 minutes long. However the band more than makes up for the length of the album by jam packing every track with tons of catchy as hell riffs. Hilarious lyrics with dual vocals, entertaining release that will demand the repeat!

10. Can’t Stop The Rush

2nd album by Striker. A straight forward record that is just about day life stories, beer, metal and pretty much whatever happens on their lives as metalheads. The production is very clean and sharp, bringing out the vocals and guitars to the forefront. The typical 80's sound is prominent in the verses where the clean guitar reigns. Raging Metal is set for the bridge, connecting with a melodic, harmonized chorus where Dan opts for high-pitched screams.

2nd album by Arkham Witch. The high quality of the artwork perfectly fits with the Lovecraftian horror-concept around which the band revolves. Musically this album treads an interesting combination of traditional heavy metal, NWOBHM and some late seventies inspired doom metal too. The tracks are riff based and generally heavy as hell, but with a great mid-paced organic groove.

This project is trying its luck in old school death metal , paying homage to swedish masters Dismember and Entombed. Music played as homage will struggle to sound fresh, but when it's played with such an obvious love for the genre then its hard not to be won over.

Goatwhore - Carving Out The Eyes Of God

Genre: Black/Thrash/Death
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2009

1. Apocalyptic Havoc
2. The All-Destroying
3. Carving Out The Eyes Of God
4. Shadow Of A Rising Knife
5. Provoking The Ritual Of Death
6. In Legions, I Am Wars Of Wrath
7. Reckoning Of The Soul Made Godless
8. This Passing Into The Power Of Demons
9. Razor Flesh Devoured
10. To Mourn And Forever Wander Through Forgotten Doorways

4th album by Goatwhore. The band's sound takes in elements of black metal, death metal and thrash metal to create a uniquely mix of skin-flaying riffage, hyper-speed drumming and roaring vocals. The black metal influence is obvious as several tracks contain a heavy norwegian black metal riffing and blasting style, along with the higher pitched rasps of Ben Falgoust II (Soilent Green). The death/thrashing is very infectious and it quickly becomes impossible to ignore the catchiness of the fun chugging riffs.

12. Harmonicraft
13. Looking On

3rd album by Torche, 4 years after their last one. This album could only be described as sludge pop or stoner pop. Now, this isn’t saying they’ve lost the metal edge or the heaviness, no, what they have done though is really allowed the melodies and pop sensibilities to flourish. A really smoothy album, with varieties in tempos and happy melodies all over it!
