Steel Aggressor - From Ruins To Dust

Genre: Speed/Thrash/Power
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2011


1. War On The Tundra
2. Return To Mithril Hall
3. Sword And Sorcery
4. From Ruins To Dust
5. Master Of Past And Present
6. Valeman’s Journey
7. Living In The Shadows

Debut album by Steel Aggressor. Heavy drumming combined with fat bass riffs form the basis of the band’s sound. Fast guitar riffs and vocals that fit the music perfectly come on top of that. The fantasy-theme in the lyrics makes the sound complete. So this is recommended for fans of early Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Paradox, etc.

Arkona - Stenka Na Stenku 'Ep

Genre: Folk/Pagan
Country: Russia
Year: 2011

1. Stenka Na Stenku
2. Valenki
3. Goi, Rode Goi! (acoustic version)
4. Skal
5. Duren' (Svarga cover)
6. Noviy Mir (Odda mailbmi) (Shaman cover)

The nearly 25-minute long 'Ep includes a new track from the upcoming album, as well as 5 exclusive non-album tracks. Its heavy on the accordion and some type of whistle, with a strong russian folk rhythm that’s practically polka. In track 'Skal' , Freki from Varg is lending his voice as a guest appearance. Overall the EP is cheesy and enjoyable.

2nd album by Angeli Di Pietra. 9 songs, 4 interludes and 48 minutes of power metal, fast, powerful, very melodic with a folk-like flavor supported by a male grunts and female vocals. The voices of Shura Roggeman (clean vocals) and Guy Van Campenhout (grunts) are better matched than their debut. Overall it is a bit cheesy album but very easy listenable.
