Well Cypecore proves to be a very interesting case. They hail from Germany leaving their own mark in melodic death/Thrash metal with their second album bearing the most up to date title “Take The Consequence”! Though they are quite recently formed (2006) they sound pretty solid and determined on the course they follow.
\r\nThese Norwegiens have a real drama haunting their backs. Coming from the ashes of Windir when they lost their vocalist by a snowstorm(hypothermia!!) the project went on as Veird since the deceased was a founding member. But enough with history lessons. This is their fourth album to date and the first time I come to direct contact with their tunes.

\r\nSiege of Amida label has drawn some attention due to its roster of modern death metal bands that show significant interest. After Job For A Cowboy’s debut a few years ago there have been quite a few acts playing alike creating another "mass" of a new genre. Surely a usual phenomena but utterly, the top of the cream is what remains.

\r\nThe greek grindcore scene just earned their best representative in the porngrind branch. Wanna call it porngrind? Call it what you will, the thing is these dudes kick ass, demolish hospitals and stick their favourite coloured dildos wherever they please! If you’re not into this shit why are you still reading?

\r\nGlittertind play folk metal. And when I say folk I surely do not mean pagan black, folk black or anything in between. For some strange reason it has become a habbit confusing those genres but the thing here is quite clear. A glance at the album cover is enough.

\r\nΤhird strike be Fall Of Empyrean and it seems that melancholy’s arrow is deeply stuck within their psychosynthesis. There have beem quite a few empty promises from various labels about their bands being utterly depressing and moody. But they did’nt meet up to our expectations. Some chicks with silicon tits surely don’t bring misery, on the contrary: they can only cheer you up! So, I guess you know where I’m going with this...

\r\nTsorer are from Israel and they play old school, raw black metal. They were formed in 2006 and
\r\nthis is their first album entitled "Return To Sodom".

\r\nIsrael is a debatable country for many reasons and a country with no good quality bands
\r\nin the underground scene. Now that Tsorer entered the game, this will change. Their music
\r\nreminded me of the old Darkthrone age, with some atmospheric bits. You can listen to a
\r\nraw attack in the beggining of the album with old school riffing and tempo changes like the
\r\nThis is a much anticipated piece of work. After their debut album, it was crystal clear that one could only expect great things from this band in the future. So, this is their second album and it’s exactly what one could have in mind: a superb job!
\r\nSuch album releases definitely send the Hellenic metal scene to a higher level. Randomwalk can be labeled as a “dark metal” band, with strong black and death metal colors and avant garde atmosphere, which overshadows the compositions, making the whole album much more tempting.
\r\nDebut album from the Greeks Versus Heaven, “Behind The Perfect Mask” is a very interesting release for those who are into melodic Power Metal! I have to make clear that despite being labeled as a Heavy/Power metal release this album has nothing to do with “sword and sorcery” themes and melodic smurf-like choruses, or excessive guitar show off. Versus Heaven are not into any of this and that’s exactly what makes this album interesting.
