\r\n Eternal Hated come from Volos, Greece and are the live proof that there is a bloodpumping scene emerging from the greek whereabouts and of modern perspective too! This is their second release, having already released the self financed EP "The Rise Of Hated" and this is their first official full length so I’ll refair to it as a debut.
\r\n
\r\nFor those who consider the year 2010 as a Power Metal Year, well this release is a good reason for them to get more excited. “Aqua” is very interesting and what really stands out is the Holy Land-like mood of the rhythm section and its ethnic orientation that most of their fans worldwide worship. After all, this element is what features their compositions the most, throughout the years; it’s like Power Metal is flirting with Progressive Metal.
\r\nMELODIC BLACK DEATH FROM THE WEST \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Dawn of Ashes- is band from L.A. that started back in 2001 as an Industrial band and after many years and many line-up changes the band has changed their style into Melodic Death/Black. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nTheir new album is already on stores by the name - Genocide Chapters - and this time the band is giving their best. Nice Death/Black riffs, horror inspired Keyboard themes, nice bass and very good drumming. The vocals are more into Black Metal and the production is quite good. \r\n
\r\nFIRST FULL LENGTH \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-System Divide- is a band from the U.S.A. that was formed in 2008 by Sven De Caluwe (Aborted), Miri Milman (ex-Distorted), Cole Martinez (ex-Years Of Fire, Antenora), Andrew Lenthe (Antenora), and Mike Heller (Malignancy). Their main idea was to play a mix of Melodic Death/Metalcore with double vocals.One male that stays in the Deathcore zone and one female that prefers melodic lines. \r\n
\r\nΤhere was a lot of worrying about the popular Norwegians after their recent member departures. Many spoke of disbanding, others about a creative downfall and lots more wrote their own scripts about the band’s saga. But, as it seems, Dimmu Borgir did some hard work ontheir new material and make a strong come back with a symphonic creation just like the times require for artists of such a level: massive to the bone!
\r\n
\r\nWith their third album, Suicidal Angels have nothing to prove to anyone anymore. Indeed, the band has matured, without it meaning they luck ferocity or something, know what they want and evolve within the boundaries they themselves set. With so many gigs and tours on their back but also with such a strong fanbase the greek thrashers are an established band already.
\r\n
\r\nTHE WAR CONTINUES\r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Hail of Bullets- are ready to release their second full length album and this time their mix of Death Metal and war stories are talking about the rise and fall of the Japanese empire.\r\n
\r\nTHE SECOND FULL LENGTH IS FINALLY HERE \r\n
\r\n
\r\nSlovenian Thrashers, -Negligence- returned three years after their last release with another album full of Thrash and Heavy tunes. This time the band is ready for more and the good news for them is that -Negligence- are now members of the Metal Blade family. \r\n
At last, four years have passed since the last release of David Defeis and co, and since I got the promo copy of the new album, I have to admit that I felt such an anxiety while pushing the “play Button” to begin the listening session of the new album, “The Black Light Bacchanalia”. I have also to admit that despite the great amount of love I have for this band, their previous album “Visions Of Eden” left me unsatisfied, thus the whole anxiety.
