Reviews
\r\nAs i had said in a preview column Εonian records has send ne two interesting releases the first was Legacy from U.S.A where i covered the review with their very good self-titled album and the second release are the compatriot them Charlotte who come from the other side of U.S.A,more specifically on Pacific side or West coast’s California.
\r\nThey formed in a 1987 as the Legacy and they released the debut album ’’Medusa Groove’’ now.
The long awaited debut album by this Athenian doom / death metal outfit , Shattered Hope, at last is happening. The band begun its discography action back in 2005 and has already released two demos, but this time is about their debut full length album.
The Athenian outfit Aeon Aphelion I have to admit that is the pleasant surprise that hit my ears this month. The self titled demo cd release left me one hundred per cent satisfied, with this “raw” doom metal sound of them, a sound that flirts with early Cathedral sound plus some death metal passages. So this is about classic doom metal riffing, brutal vocals, some female vocals also exist on this demo, but without any exaggeration.
\r\nABSOLUTE POWER \r\n
\r\n
\r\nU.S. legendary Hardcore/Metal band, Pro-Pain are back with their 13th full length album. This band never stopped releasing albums and its amazing how they manage to make different and unique albums. Each Pro-Pain album has its own air and the same goes for their new release. \r\n
\r\nEVERSIN ARE HERE\r\n
\r\n
\r\nItalian Techno/Power/Thrash band - Eversin - are here with their new release called - Divina Distopia - . A great album that combines Progressive ideas, Trash riffs, nice atmospheric passages, great leads and nice bass. The drumming is very good and so are the clean vocals of mr. Ferrante. There are also some keyboard themes that suits great to the atmospheric parts of the album. The production is very good and the whole album has good sound.\r\n
\r\nFIFTH ALBUM FOR CALES\r\n
\r\n
\r\nCzech Pagan Metal band - Cales - are back with a new album that mixes Pagan/Viking/Folk and Doom Metal. They are actually a one man project right now and the main brain under the Cale name is Blackie.\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe new album is called - KRF - and it’s a nice album that you can hear many nice riffs, pagan ideas, folk themes, acoustic guitars, Viking attitude and the voice of Blackie singing and shouting in many different styles. The production is not the best i have ever heard but suits great with the project.\r\n
\r\nSHEMHAPHORASH ARE BACK\r\n
\r\n
\r\nSpanish Black Metal band, -Shemhamphorash- is back with their second full length album. Many years passed from their last release but these blacksters are here with an amazing album and so nobody cares about anything else.\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe new album has the title - Sulphur - and it’s a great Black Metal album with many nice Black Metal riffs, atmospheric passages, nice bass, great drumming in all tempos and e very nice Black Metal voice. The production is good and the whole album has nice dark atmosphere.\r\n
\r\nA NEW ERA OF WHITECHAPEL \r\n
\r\n
\r\nU.S. Deathcore band, - Whitechapel- is back with another great album. The band is ready to release their third official full length work and their fans are going to love it!! As this album might be the best release from this band. \r\n
\r\nAlright, I have to admit that what appealed to me in the first place was the artwork. Brilliant. Other than that, Sinocence were a nice surprise to me and I hope they will be a nice surprise for the fans of modern metal in general, as I consider them as α very promising band.
“Ultima Thule” is the third release of the Slovak band Vindex. Unfortunately I am not familiar with their music and having not listened to their previews albums I can’t make any comments on their progress in composing and performing.
