\r\nOnce you listen to LOVE.MIGHT.KILL you will spot out that there’s something from FIREWIND “in the air”. The band was formed two years ago by their drummer Michael Ehré (FIREWIND/ METALIUM/ ULI JON ROTH) and this is their debut album, “Brace For Impact”.
\r\nHatebreed’s frontman is a persona that happens to be respected by the majority of the scene. Either for music related reasons or anything else, this guy has done productions, has helped promote fellow bands and generally he’s an active dude. This album is his first effort to a personal level. Some may wonder: what is there for him to give other than his characteristic work in Hatebreed? To be honest I haven’t been the biggest HB fan around but this here album seems to be showing a new face of dear mr J.

\r\nSorehead play boring metalcore, generic and heard a zillion times. Damn it, things seem bad from the very first riff. You can easily guess they’re a young act. Counting only 4 years of existence, they record and release a debut that does not speak to the core....

\r\nA few days ago, taking advantage of their live show at Wave Gothic Treffen (Germany), Umbra Et Imago decided to release an “anniversary” single as 2011 marks 20 years in the music industry for the band.
\r\nHere we have Horde of Hel from Sweden, a country holding a tradition in the black metal
\r\nsound. The anonymity which they have chosen to follow the band doesn’t really help them
\r\nbecome widely known. What we do know though is that with them are members from In Battle,
\r\na fact showing that at least we’re talking about good musicians here.
\r\nHorde of Hel released one more album in 2009, entitled "Blodskam" and are back today with
\r\n"Likdagg".\r\n
\r\nNever say never, alright, yet sadly I think that there’s no light in the dark for Queensrÿche anymore.
\r\nJust a few weeks before the release of “Dedicated to Chaos”, Tate informed the media about the style of the album; according to his statements, it would sound like “Empire”. Taking under consideration his statements on previous albums, I didn’t get excited, however I wasn’t pessimistic either. Unfortunately, these very utopic statements were far away from reality and the album is a big disappointment.
\r\nWhat the hell is going on out there? Last time I checked between my legs I still had a pair of what it takes to be a man. After listening to Farewell To Freeway’s album I think my balls withered! Metalcore/emo something and other salads. You know, the type that requires a specific lipstick and haircut...

\r\n The greek brutal death metal scene just gained a new beast. I’m so glad the local brutal fuckers don’t stop to amaze me. Genna Apo Kolo hail from Salonica, I’ve been following them since their first steps back in the "glorious" myspace days. I particularly liked their fun, gory lyrics and their black humour aesthetics in general. So, finally after all this time their album fell into my hands. I, myself, am to blame so a review is obligatory.

\r\nThis collection is not your typical label move that just has to release a best of because the contract says so. This is the total of unreleased, bonus, b-sides, split and EP’s songs the dearest Misery Index have released during the lifespan of their musical career. And believe me, there are many of those.
