After ACCEPT’s new awesome album is UDO’s turn to release his thirteenth album and eventually questions about “how’s it gonna sound? will it be a rival to ACCEPT’s latest masterpiece?” began to emerge. “Leatherhead” is the first single (or more likely EP) from the forthcoming album called “REV-Raptor”.
\r\n Fresh stuff! These are the first words that come to my mind when I listen to Benighted’s new material. It’s arguably remarkable that after so many years(13) of releasing music these guys manage to sound fresh and up to date. Perhaps the extreme metal spectrum needs bands like this to keep its brutal offerings alive and kicking through the years.

\r\n-EVOCATION- ARE BACK\r\n
\r\n
\r\nTwo years after their latest release, Swedish Deathsters, -Evocation- returned with their third full length album. The title of the album is - Apocalyptic- and it’s a very nice Swedish Death Metal album with great production. Great Swedish Death Metal guitars, heavy bass, excellent drumming and the voice of Tjompe in a great Death Metal condition. The production is great and the whole album sounds perfect. So is the cover of the album that was made by Xayy.\r\n
\r\nNEW ALBUM FROM TURKEY\r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Raven Woods- is a band from Turkey that plays a mix of Death and Black Metal since 1999. This band has already released one EP and one full length album. This time they are here with their second full length album that will be released via Code666 Records.\r\n
When we’re referring to bands like Destruction I think that pompous intros are simply meaningless. Some things are what we call constant values and as far as the German Thrash Metal is concerned, Destruction are not among the Unholy Trinity (along with Kreator and Sodom) by chance. They earned that place a long time ago. New album for the German Thrashers “Day Of Reckoning” continues the legacy of the awesome “D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.” with even greater force.
\r\nIt is common place for a huge band that’s releasing a new album to have extensive intros on the reviews as well as a full band’s historic references and the like. What could I possibly write for a band or more likely, a singer that carries almost 40 years of successful musical career with its ups and downs, having played with some of the greatest bands of what we call Rock. Band’s like Deep Purple, as well as some Rock legends like Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Vivian Campbell and lots more surely remember Mr. Coverdale.
\r\nENBOUND were formed on 2008; three years later they release their debut album, which they began recording last year.
\r\n“And She Says Gold” is a strong debut album and one of the most interesting latest debut albums. Overall, it contains nice arrangements and combined perfectly with the beautiful, warm and melodic vocals of their singer.
Ageless Oblivion is a new band as they formed in 2009 under the name "Arkane". After
\r\nthat, they changed the name to Ageless Oblivion, releasing now their debut album
\r\n"Temples of Transcendent Evolution" through Siege of Amida Records. The guys are
\r\nfrom United Kingdom and they play a mix of a technical and progressive death metal.
\r\n
\r\nI agree that the scene nowdays needs different opinions so it can be kept alive and
\r\nprogress itself through new bands. I think that in the case of Ageless Oblivion we
\r\nHow the hell could I have missed these guys all this time? A very strange case of band if you ask me..and how the hell do you come to call your album "Germany’s Next Death Metal"? And what does it mean? I’m confused!

\r\nGerman melodic deathsters Suidakra return after a very successfull album(Crσgacht, 2009) and with this being their tenth official release in 14 years they prove to be a rather active band. For those of you who are not acquainted with the talented act I’ll just mention they’re devoted lovers of the folk/melodic death metal genre like no other. The rest is up to you to discover through their discography.
