\r\nThird release for the English thrashers Evile and if what they say about a band’s third album (that is defining for their sound, career and all) stands true, these guys have nothing to worry about! “Five Serpent’s Teeth” is a thrash masterpiece that honors the genre and its creators! Supersonic, head smashing riffs, mind blowing rhythm section and a bombastic production that makes the compositions sound even more powerful than they are. Just the way they should. But all these are simple details compared to the compositions themselves!
\r\nKeep it simple, into your face, circle pits. These, among others, are the first expressions that come to mind when you listen to Generation Kill’s debut album. Rob Dukes, known as Exodus’ latest vocalist, hits your face with his side project. A project that all thrashers and crossover lovers will deeply appreciate. Let alone crash their heads to. After a short, butchered acoustic intro BAM, all hell breaks loose! Oh, did I forget to mention that Rob Moschetti(former ProPain, M.O.D.) is playing bass? Good enough for ya?

\r\nQuestion: does any of you remember the mid 90’s melodic death movement? One of the bands that jumped into that was Night In Gales from Germany. A tour with In Flames was enough to show them the way for a whole new world. Back then, they had released "Thunderbeast", an album that became the reason for some to label them as "one of many". The album was not a cornerstone, not a bad one either, history saw the band releasing a couple more albums and lost sight of them eversince.

\r\nDuring the mid-to-late 1980s, Britain’s homegrown melodic hard rock scene was blessed with an embarrassment of riches.No one who lived through the era could forget the hook-friendly quality of FM, Tobruk, Strangeways, Dare,Lionheart,Alaska,John Parr, Virginia Wolf,Robin George, Cutting Crew and Birmingham’s own Shy.And my opinion many of the aforementioned artist,Shy could easily be distinguished from the list.And they still can.
\r\nThe most bands in scene of Metal and Rock when start to release albums it necessary to take a difficult path, which called music industry, maybe it’s a hard to saying that but that’s the way it goes!, it’s better to say the way of acceptance or rejection from their fans and like they said my ancestors "Rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning", so Reckless Love passed the test and like true blue will never stain! So they stand ready to rock.
\r\n These youngsters from Romania come forth with a good mood but also some spare talent to add their part in the thrash metal kingdom. With only one demo release three years ago they release their first full work through SG Records. Why pick this out of the bunch? Let’s see what they came up with..

\r\nHell, is this a surprise or what? I had seen the Texans’ promo video some months ago on youtube and died laughing. What my eyes and ears witnessed was hilarious! And after that, watching their cd being delivered to me for a review seemed like a joke, an easy task to pull through and a good chance for some bitching. You see, a good haircut and extreme music simply don’t match. But after putting the cd in the player I realised things are not as easy as I thought at first.

Mastodon is one of those bands that attracted my attention from the first time and made me gradually get stuck on them. So, some months ago, I found myself looking forward to listening to their new album right after the announcement of its upcoming release. What I felt after listening to "The Hunter"? Hmmm... hard to explain!

\r\nNEW ALBUM FROM -NIGHTRAGE-\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe fifth album of –Nightrage- is now on stores and I can feel the fans of Melodic/Death/Thrash already playing the album in their stereos and headbanging on it. The new album has the itle, -Insidious- and this time –Nighrage- are back with a great album that has it all. Great riffs and nice melodic guitars, beautifull drumming and bass and the voice of Antony Hamalainen in a great angry mood. The production is pretty cool and the whole album sounds amazing.\r\n
