\r\nMOSH IT UP\r\n
\r\n
\r\nVeteran moshers of Thrash Metal , -Anthrax-, are finally back with a fresh new album. Eight years after their last full length album the band is here with their 10th official release. \r\n
\r\nΑ tremendously boring, utterly dull case of a band. After having listened to the 16(why??) songs of "Outta Hell" the only conclusion I came up with was: why? Why release this album in the first place? Can’t you tell there is no meaning behind it? These germans play heavy/thrash metal with absolutely no reason of existence but also with the mood to play with our nerves with 16 meaningless tracks.

\r\n The guys from Ichor finally made it to Siege of Amida records, thus making their debut’s search an easier task(talking about much better distribution!). This album was released about a year ago in the first place so whoever is a hunter for this kind of material know what this is about. Modern death metal(something SOA recs deals with a lot) with lots of brutal elements as well as some old shcool sparks. Who’s bothered? Not me, I dig!

\r\nNightbringer were strangers to me until recently. The first contact I had with their music though was strong enough to leave a good impact on my mood for the following days. The light fromt the next room was the only thing that kept me sane that night from the third full length release of this american act. Mature, structured and hard to follow allthesame.

It seems that Progressive Metal is on some kind of creative delirium lately, as there are so many new albums during the last months.
\r\n“Sympathetic Resonance”- a title which can be translated in many ways- is one more album coming from this Prog metal “explosion”. This album release apart from its objective and sentimental value, it ‘s priceless considering the musicians who created it.
\r\nGORATH’S RETURN\r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Gorath- are here with another full length. These Blacksters from Belgium that first started as a one man band and then later continued as a normal band, now they returned with another dark album full of Atmospheric/Progressive/Black Metal.\r\n
After a few years of absence from the music scene, as well as some line up and band name changes (The had changed their name into Metalforce in 2008 releasing a self titled album, after that they turned back to Majesty.) the German True Metalers Majesty release through Massacre Records a compilation album called “Own The Crown”. It’s about a double cd compilation featuring a selection of their best songs during a decade in the metal scene.
\r\n I know there’s a lot of people out there that were disappointed in the "turn" of the old Gorerotted into The Rotted and the subsequent redirection of their musical goals. These dear brits decided to further develop their music stigma into something different that the grinding death metal they used to play. I personally found their debut as The Rotted a very interesting release, though somewhat strangely I never heard a note from the EP that followed.
