\r\n Ι’ve known Razor’s Edge’s music for some time now and I’m very pleased to see a change in their musical point of view. Dimitri’s addition to the band’s vocal position helped a lot. The act comes forth with fresh material and the will to show the world a new face. If and what they succeeded is a subjective matter. Groovy thrashcore with brutality shots? Call it what you will.

It’s been a long time since i last heard classical black metal music as good as the first e.p. of Ogen.The title of the first work of these italians is ’Black Metal Unbound’ and although their name didn’t seem particularly special, the music was very satisfying and i find myself not being able to wait for their next and, surely, more evolved work.

\r\nOhhh, these youngsters..let’s make it fast this time cuz time and space are valuable things. Terakai are a modern band, the type that combine screamo elements with those weepy choruses. You know, the generation that grew up in front of youtube, with ipods decorating their ears, etc. The relative image is a must and these dudes are no exception.

\r\nSECOND FULL LENGTH \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Battlecross- is a Thrash/Power Metal band that hails from Canton, Michigan. The band was formed in 2003 and till now they have released one Demo and one self- released full length in 2010. This year the band managed to sign with Metal Blade Records and now they are ready to release their second full length album. \r\n
\r\nNot long after the release of their debut album the guys from Patra/Greece loose no time and strike again with a fresh new work. Hell yes, new material that actually shows the band’s progress and a new face. A face that is a lot more complete and brutal. I could get happier!

\r\n IWABO are a female fronted band. Are you black-velvet-widows happy now? Are you expecting yet another typical case of band like Within Temptation so you can dance around under the "metal" sign? Wipe thar smile off your face now. Let’s move on.

When referring to Saxon, there is certainly no need to use lengthy introductions, nor to mention their past achievements by saying who they are and what they have accomplished and offered. We’re talking about Saxon, right? One of the greatest bands of the past, the present and the future. I’ve never met anyone in my entire life that has been even once disappointed by any of their releases, even more by their live performances. To make a long sentence short, Saxon kick some serious ass!
\r\nWe are in the middle of the year, yet some people already consider this album as the best one for 2011; Well, I can’t but agree with that.
\r\nFor many years now the band is on a very high level. Symphony X is one of the most important “forces” in Progressive Metal, releasing stunning albums throughout the years, so it is essential for everyone to take them into serious consideration, especially after this release.
\r\nMany fans tend to compare them to Running Wild; it’s true that their influence overshadows the compositions; however I think that the band is closer to the style of Gamma Ray.
