This, unfortunately, is declared to be their last release, fortunately, a great swansong!

Death Drive & I Want You Dead - The ΑΩ Remixes 'Ep

Country: Greece
Year: 2013



1. Down The Goathole
2. Cvlts (Nigh)
3. Bleak Circumstance

Death Drive (ex-Tokyo Mask) is the person, who is responsible for the massacre (in a positive way) of some of the songs of the  ΑΩ ''7 Ep, released by I Want You Dead in 2012. He destroyed the songs and rebuilt them in a drone/industrial version, with some noise elements, and it is a prety interesting try.

1. I Shot An Arrow ...
2. Draped Over Your Shoulders Like A Burden

Debut 'Ep by Mothman. The trio sent us this release where the group is delivering an experimental version of hardcore, mixed with some post-rock elements. They bring in mind the later Refused, being enough technical and progressive for your ordinary hardcore. I don't think that pure metalheads will enjoy it, but for the rest it worths a lot of listenings.

This is the 3rd 'Ep of the 'Liber series' by Blut Aus Nord. Compared to the previous two, this is more atmospheric and slightly more droning.

5th album by Glorior Belli. The expectations after 2 great releases were high.

Without being a bad album, it doesn't convince.

3rd album by Sarke, a 'supergroup' that continues what it started back in 2008. Deeply influenced by Celtic Frost and Darkthrone, they deliver dark, cold, epic metal with a blackened aesthetic. The riffing found throughout this album is black metal-ish, slow and deliberate, pretty close to become doom or depressive. There are headbanging moments and melodic moments, to let you choose what fits you most.

7th album by Pestilence. It's slightly better compared to their 2 earlier releases, and that's why it maintains the perfect balance between brutality and jazz-infused parts. Mameli's dark/rotten vocals are surrounded by great musicianship by all the rest members. The small length of the album (34 minutes) is a positive factor that keeps you unbored!
