Well, there’s nothing more for a doomed soul to ask for about new releases this year. New album for Isole, new album for Candlemass and now a new release from Forsaken. Well It would be great if there will be also a new Solitude Aeturnus album but that’s too much I suppose.

\r\nDEVIOUS’ SECOND ATTACK \r\n \r\n
\r\n-Devious- are formed in 2000 and already released their first album in 2003.After many concerts and festivals with many known bands they released their second work , with the title - Domain. The band is doing a new start with a new vocalist and the news are good. Good quality Thrash-Death Metal with atmosphairic mood. \r\n
\r\n"To Hear The Trumpets Call" consists of two new songs, a re-recording\r\nof a previously released track, and a thrash influenced remix. Because\r\nof the lack of new content, and the fact that most of these songs can\r\nbe found on the band’s MySpace page, the EP is probably aimed more\r\ntowards new fans who want to find out if they like Hauk’s sound or not.

\r\nDark tunes are flooding to my ears. They travel fast but it decisively at the same times through the wires of the headset. The introduction tries to drag me as the main melodies are waiting stealthily to seduct .... and that is what happened. The sounds of "Rheinkaos" achieved their goal and revealed the band’s insiration. Although the demo has only three tracks, the attitude is unambiguous about what they are prepared to offer. But let’s go to the inner side ... starting with the cover!

\r\nLamb of God is one of those bands that we expect them to progress constantly in their career. This is something that we have been watching through their whole sequence of albums. The biggest breakthrough though has been done since their last two albums, Ashes of the wake and Sacrament, as Lamb of God have been not only commercially, but also artistically well-recognized. Thus the whole metal community has been excited for their forthcoming sixth full length album, Wrath.

\r\nThis here is the new album from Blade Of The Reaper and is out through Devil Doll Records. Watching the cover artwork with the bloodstained knife and reading track titles like “Submit to Satan”, “Here comes the knife” and “Baphmet’s Call” one can say that this here is a cult evil band following the morbid steps of the early Venom, Possessed and even Bathory of “Under the sign..” days.
\r\nWish, love, dream, hope, fantasy. When these words become notes evolving into music, the pictures and the sounds lead to an almost dreaming state which is overflowed with lyricism and emotions. I think that this description doesn’t fully cover this creation because it’s very difficult to put words to some musical trips.
