“Broken Leaf” is the title of the debut album by the Belgian outfit, My Lament. By the first listening of the album I got the feeling that this must be a long lost album made by My Dying Bride between the “Turn Loose The Swans” and “The Angel And The Dark River” era. That was of course my first thought, after taking a closer listening to the album things became clearer in my mind.
S.C.A.L.P. is a Russian based outfit that it’s music can be described as doom / death / goth metal, so don’t you take them for the other Lengendary Russian outfit, SCALD, because you will let yourself down.
German Savage Circus is the band formed by former Blind Guardian drummer Thomen Stauch, who wanted to revive the good old sound he enjoyed playing. And he did it: The first Savage Circus album “Dreamland Manor” is like listening to Blind Guardian during the Somewhere far beyond time. Well now he also abandoned his second band for personal reasons (Health? Fatigue? Only he knows)

Beyond Eternity is the debut album of the Portuguese band Fantasy Opus and it’s exactly what someone expects by reading the band name or the track titles: Pureblood power metal.

\r\nIf your motto is something like “Champagne, Chicks & Rock n’ Roll”, or “party like a Rockstar” and such, then you should definitely give Mama Kin a chance! They released a cd-single a few months ago and this is the full length album which is not about to rock your world or anything, however it’s pretty good.
\r\n“We are Heavy Metal… and if you don’t like it, f*ck you!” That’s the intro phrase in the new METALIUM album. A new chapter in the band’s history entitled “Grounded- Chapter 8” and I think that things are pretty clear regarding METALIUM and their music orientation. They play HEAVY METAL, plain and simple. And they haven’t any experimental tensions or anything like that.
