\r\nIt is true that Greek fans aren’t used to the folkish bands from Germany who sweep German metal heads off their feet. I am talking about bands like IN EXTREMO or DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER who sing in the German language and include folkish elements and musical instruments in their music. However should you have the time to check them out you might find very refreshing elements within the genre and even more refreshing bands. This is exactly the case with SALTATIO MORTIS.
The second full length release by this Funeral Doom outfit from Germany has been released a couple of days ago, through Napalm Records, just as their first LP “The Call of the Wretched Sea” in 2006.
Litmus is a London based outfit that deals with the genre of Space Rock, and is about to release their third effort under the title “Aurora”. It is a common knowledge that when we talk about Space Rock we are referring to bands such as Hawkwing, early Pink Floyd and many bands from the 70’s and later on.
\r\nNo doubt, their “extreme” stage image is a main reason why this band had become popular world wide. That was a reason to love or hate Gwar as well.
\r\nFor a moment I was mistaken with the band’s name as I thought it was about the Goth-sters Macbeth. Well nothing in common except for the name. Any doubts just vanished when the first track started playing.
\r\nMacbeth are delivering a Power Thrash blow with really heavy guitars and they truly kick some ass.
Excessive progress destroys music and ..our ears. No matter how hard I tried I failed to understand what Monsterworks are actually trying to play on this one. Casket Music labels them as Extreme Metal (as if metal is not extreme music already..) while introducing them as the most diverse band ever. Well this at least is true. Monsterworks are on the scene (I don’t know which one actually..) for 14 years now and they are playing…everything!

\r\n 81db sent us their 4 tracks-promo EP, which was self-financed, about a year and a half ago. The feedback was very positive, and everything was showing that the band was very promising.
\r\nRebellion on my mind… I can still hear that tune in my ears and it makes sense as Rebellion are very close to Grave Digger musically.
\r\nSwedish Melodic Death Metal band - Unanimated - are back with their third full length album that will lead you to Swedish Melodic Death Metal with Black Metal influences and a lot of atmposphere.The band broke up back in 1998 but they made a reunion in 2007 and now after two years they are ready with their third official work. \r\n
