\r\nMUMAKIL-THE LEVELLERS\r\n \r\n
\r\nMumakil is a kind of Elephant taken from Tolkin’s great books but theres also a band the last five years with the same name and even the power. To be specific Swiss Grindcore maniacs - Mumakil - sounds like a lot of elephants are running over you! They are formed back in 2004 and they have released a Demo , an Ep , a full length album and did many split albums with other grindcore freaks.They are ready now with their second full length album , called - Behold the Failure.\r\n

A pure Grindcore diamond that is going to satisfy fans but also new listeners. \r\n
Coram Lethe is an Italian outfit and the “...A Splendid Chaos” album is their third release, the first with Erica Puddu on vocals. I admit that listening to this promo the whole thing turned into a pleasant surprise for me. These Italians perform some very well- performed and well-written technical death metal with some black metal cuts and all these elements dressed up in a very good production.
For those that do no know anything about the band Silentium, I d like to quote that its all about a finnish band, of Dark / Gothic Metal sound, female fronted and ten years of existence, with a respected back catalogue of five albums so far.
Hibria hailing us from Porto Alegre, and despite the fact that this is only their second release, they managed to deliver us a very professional album. The album entitled “The Skull Collectros” and is a classic power metal album clearly influenced by the European power metal scene in the vain of Helloween, GammaRay etc. in general these Brizilian guys own a very German sound.
Chris Impelliteri has returned with a brand new release, after 4 years of silence (Between these years thas been released also the “Live! Fast! Loud!” best of) The title of the album is “Wicked Maiden” and for once more we meet mr Rob Rock behind the microphone stand of Imperlliteri. So the band uses again a successful recipe that has been used again in the past several times, provides us with a great mix of heavy metal / shredding album, something that works great since 1987.
\r\nPower metal, heavy riffing, female vocals and plenty of epic feeling. We respect the traditions; we admit it now and then. In this case, we have an album of “traditional” power metal which’ title gives us the idea concerning the main theme of the lyrics, and of course Elisa’s performance and the compositions as well absolutely serve this purpose. Classical style with the aggressive tone that fits here, but with only a few exceptions, which concern some parts into the songs, unfortunately the compositions are not anything new.
