\r\nINTO THE OCEAN \r\n
\r\n
\r\nGerman band -The Ocean- are back with another album full of nice tracks. These guys are playing a mix of Atmospheric/Progressive/Sludge/Metal and they are ready to release their fourth full length album. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe album title is - Heliocentric - and it’s a great album with nice songs. -The Ocean- are mixing mainly atmospheric ideas with progressive riffs, nice bass, very good drumming and a vocalist that tries many different styles. The production is great and so is the cover of the album. \r\n
\r\nAUTUMN REQUIEM \r\n
\r\n
\r\nU.S. Melodic Metalcore band - The Autumn Offering - are here presenting their fourth full length album with many nice Metalcore songs with a lot of melodic ideas and great production. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe album is called - Requiem - and contains eleven tracks with nice guitar riffs, nice bass, very good drumming and the voice of mr. Matt McChesney changing from raging to melodic with nice crystal sound. The production is a very good work of mr. Mark Lewis and its done at the AudioHammer Studios in Sanford, Florida. \r\n
\r\nAncient Bards were formed only a couple of years ago. It all begun on 2007 by their keyboardist, Daniele Mazza, and a year later they finished their first demo, which contained 5 tracks, based on the Final Fantasy concept. On 2009 they played as support act with various bands such as Domine, Turisas, White Skull and on summer the begun working on their debut album, “The Alliance of the Kings”.
The Italian doom metal outfit Tunderstorm happens to be one of my favorite bands out there and immediately after I received the promo copy of their newest album I got the urge to listen to it over and over again just to enjoy another release from Fabio and co.
The British leaders of a whole genre have return to discography after their great last album “The Garden of Unearthly Delights” in 2005 (pff… 5 years already have passed). When I first got informed that their new album is about to be a double CD set, something really unusual for them and they are about to move into more progressive rock forms, instantly a great curiosity got me about their new sound and their new album “The Guessing Game”
\r\nA BEAUTIFUL CREATURE \r\n
\r\n
\r\n-Within The Ruins - are releasing their first full length through Victory Records and the record label must be very happy for this contract. Because this band sounds so fresh, with great power, nice ideas and ready to spread their sound after the release of two nice EPs. \r\n
\r\nFIRST ATTACK\r\n

\r\n

\r\nSECOND HIT \r\n
\r\n
\r\nCanadian Death Metal/Metalcore band, -Arise And Ruin are back with their second album, now released through Victory Records. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe Canadians Deathsters are back with their new album , called - Night Storms Hailfire -, a great album that combines Death Metal with some modern ideas and Metalcore influences. The album has nice production and a lot of nice songs. Nice guitars, good bass and drumming and a nice deep Death Metal voice. \r\n
\r\nI don’t know about you, but I often think of all these times from the past, when I was really mesmerized by the music of STRATOVARIUS. “HIGH TIME” brought all these beautiful moments back to me; I really enjoyed listening to it.
