\r\n This is a strange case of nutjob. You’re not quite sure as to what exactly is going on in this album until you let go and let it flow within you, regardless the sign under which it may be. The Portuguese maniacs finally get you on their side with the honesty and the straight forward attitude they deliver their fine tunes. But let’s see what exactly it is that BASTARDIZED RECORDINGS is serving us this time.

\r\nThere are some bands out there, utterly condemned to dwell in the shadows of their influences just because they can never get past the concept of being a fan into becoming an actuall musician. Everything they will ever release is a replica or a "it brings this to mind" example without being able to express their true talent - if there is any. Legio Mortis is one of these cases. If their newest album is a Cradle of Filth wannabe in the year of the goatlord 2011, something has to be out of place...

Here we’ve got the new EP from the progsters Forgotten Suns. “Revelations” includes 5 remixed tracks most of them previously released. The album begins with the remix of “Doppelgauger” a track taken from the “Innergy” album. In my opinion is a very good song as is “Phenotype”, the track that follows, that mixes powerful melodies with skillful performance in a very heavy way creating a pure progressive masterpiece, something that most of the bands out there strive in vain to achieve.
\r\nJust have a listen to this album, dear dark goth fag and come talk to me about DARKNESS. I will though, do whatever I can in order to avoid using this boring, dull, overused D word as I try to describe this ebony souled beast but after the end of "All Life Converges to Some Center" only one thing remains: darkness. Cold darkness.

\r\nI really don’t know if Within Temptation are considered a “heavy metal” band or not and to be honest, I don’t really care. What I know is that with their latest release they are proving why they are considered a leading force when it comes to Female fronted symphonic metal!
\r\nGreat Britain has a lot to show in the brutal death metal spectrum and Unfathomable Ruination are the living proof of it. This three song demo serves its purpose quite well in entering the realm of a sound that has been growing a lot lately. If Nikelback’s latest album is a fav you’re reading the wrong article boy....

\r\nBeliever are back with their fifth studio album entitled “Transhuman“. It’s been over twenty years since “Extraction from Mortality” and “Sanity Obscure” and there has been a long period of time, during which Believer were out of the music industry.
How could anyone review a Pentagram Album? This band from 1972 till today keeps on delivering the best music around without any exaggerations or any kind of arrogance! Pure Heavy / Doom Metal, Doom Rock etc and with every single release they cause shivers down our spines, or at least for those who still feel their music and magic!
The “phenomenon” While Heaven Wept is back once again and this time there was no need to wait 6 years for a new album. The band seems to be in a productive crescendo since the last two years there are severala WHW releases, re releases, live albums, DVDs etc. Two years after their latest full length “Vast Oceans Of Lachrymose” (the most successful WHW release that made the band to sing a contract with Nuclear Blast) WHW strikes back with their 4th full length “Fear Of Infinity”
\r\nWas the tracklist different, I would consider this album interesting enough; in fact I think that it becomes interesting during the last songs.
