When I received this promo cd from I Hate Records, I have to admit that I couldn’t take my eyes off from this awesome cover by Sgraffito, so I though , a release from I Hate records and a cover from Sgraffito, this means that this one will be extremely slow and heavy as f”ck, and thankfully I was right!
So after the re – release of the “…Yet So Far” album and the re- release or better the first time officially released same titled album of Revelation , an album that for years we have been referred to as “Unreleased Album” , an album that was meant to be the bands first release in 1988 but never has been officially released since this year, the band returns with some new material, and this release sounds a little bit “weird” to me, but let me make my self clear.
Some days ago when the whole team of metalzone gr was gathered for the regular cup of coffee and the dirty work of sharing the promo CDs, from the corner of my eye I saw two Revelation cds
\r\nSo let me begin with the first one, which is the remastered re release of their 3rd album “...Yet So Far” via Shadow Kings Records, that originally has been released in 1995 through Hellhound Records.
\r\nEven though I don’t really like this kind of music, well I have to admit that this is a good effort. DIORAMIC come from Germany and “Technicolor“is their debut album. The style is mostly post hardcore, while, on the other hand, it totally fits in the standards of modern metal as a general term. In addition, there are many trippy moments mixed with melodic and nice technical parts, making the songs pretty special. \r\n
\r\nDEATH TO THE CORE\r\n
\r\n
\r\nGerman Deathcore band – Rusted Chains – are here with their very first official album, released via 7hard records. The band was formed in 2003 and one year later they released their first demo. The band released an album in 2007 but the copies were few (10) and so this album cant be considered as an official release. Now they are ready to spread their music with their new album – In Nights Of Nemesis that is the first under a record label.\r\n
\r\nWell, this is definitely a "perplexing" case. “What it takes” is the third album of the band and it contains almost anything one could think of! The musical orientation of the album is basically post hardcore, but it also contains various elements such as melodic vocals, angry outbursts and growls, even piano and jazz spots, which make the songs really special.
\r\nMORBID TALES OF DEATH METAL\r\n
\r\nThe long awaited (referring to the fans and some serious Thrashers out there)Heathen’s reunion album is finally in my hands! Some of the Bay area Thrash fans out there might remember a band from California which reminded of Metallica (soundlike, because technically and musically Heathen were way better) that with 2 albums, the amazing “Breaking The Silence” (1987) and the awesome “Victims Of Deception” (1991) managed to snap many necks and shut even more mouths (including mine of course)
