A Greek band that plays Doom Metal? During the past years there have been three, maybe four bands that achieved that. Despite the fact that Greece owns a wide and very good stoner scene, this doesn’t happen also for the Doom Metal scene.
\r\nSo these guys that hailing us from Thessalonica, try hard to play something that many bands have tried in the past with no any good results, but Orion’s Void did it. It’s all about traditional Doom metal, with a great pinch of lyricism, down tempo riffing and above all, the original Doom Metal feeling.
\r\nBlack Messiah. This is their new album release, called “The First War of the World”, after being in the scene for quite a few years. The band that begun by playing black metal in the early 90’s, enriched its music in the process by adding violins, mandolins, folk and power elements, while the guitar parts remained sharp and the vocals would be other times clean, and classical, and others would follow a black/pagan orientation. That’s the general idea in a few words.
\r\nWhat doesn’t’ kill me……can kill others…Ok, that was a bit rough, but honestly I don’t see the reason why should I listen to a band which immitates its favorite ones instead of listening to those bands in the first place. Regarding Ektomorf I reffer mainly yo Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspirancy. Enen though they are in the scene for some years, they insist on reproducing idead soming from their influences instead of developping their own style.

\r\nProgressive Deathsters - The Faceless - from Los Angeles , released their second full length album with the title - Planetary Duality - and the fans of Progressive Death Metal are going to have a shock!\r\n
\r\nOne more very good effort from a band which comes from Greece. It’s their first album which is waving between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. It maintains the “trashy” elements from the first one as well as the energy of the second one, while not losing a thing from the pure feeling of both scenes, without mixing or “bastardizing” with other music genres, without complex compositions, without imitating other bands.
