\r\n15 YEARS AFTER \r\n \r\n
\r\nYes , its true! -Disturbing Foresights- released an album that was recorded 15 years ago. The band from Netherland released the album - De-Grunged - by Deity Down Records after so many years! \r\n

\r\nDUALITY CHAOS\r\n \r\n
\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.
New release for the French ONESTA following the god old recipe of New York Hardcore. With obvious influences from bands like Madball and Agnostic Front and sometimes even Biohazard the present their own version of modern Hardcore.
\r\nMusically these guys are pretty good in what they’re doing given the fact that they are a European band and not New Yorkers (well, if you don’t know their origins, you would swear they are from NY). Despite that, I think that the old school feeling comes straight from their hearts.
\r\nSystem Overload and you haven’t seen a thing yet! Literally speaking the system overloads during listening to this album and the one to blame is Sander Gommans (After Forever). HDK (full name is HATE DEATH KILL) begun as a project but later on things changed and the band seems to seek for permanent line up, or at least that’s what we are aware of from the lastest info we got via internet regarding to the band’s process, as, sadly for many fans out there, After Forever split up.

\r\nREADY FOR BATTLE\r\n \r\n
\r\n-Escutcheon- are back with their second full length album, called - Battle Order-.The Death Metal band from the Netherlands returned with another album of Dutch Death Metal with a dark melodic mood and a lot of heavy riffs. \r\n
\r\nNikki puppet hailz from Hannover Germany playing some kind of punk rock’n’roll. This here is their third release (the previews two are “Puppet on a string” and “Militant mother” released on 2005 and 2007). Being far from what we would call “pioneers” Nikki puppet deliver a pure punk rock album full of compositions that will stuck on your mind (after several times of listening).
Dear Lord… It’s been a while since I heard such a “diamond” release of Epic Folk Metal with female vocals and brutal male vocals.
\r\nSo, Crimfall hailing us from Finland (weird huh?) and this is their first full length release in which they try so much to fit Metal, Folklore elements in the vein of Dead Can Dance (Wildfire Season), also some soundtrack – alike black metal and female vocals. So in other words Dead Can Dance meets Waylander with vocals close to UK Ragnarok outfit, the keyboards of Dimmu Borgir and a touch of Nightwish.
All right… Name: Leif Endling, origin, Sweden, Occupation: Doom Metal!
After ten years the German based power / prog outfit, Mind Odyssey returned with a new effort. Some time on the early days of April the new album “Time To Change it”, will be out on the stores. An album that sounds so different than their previous works, more melodic and less power, with some electronics also. The only thing for sure is that the progressive elements are once again back. Of course the comparison with previous works for instance” Schizophrenia” would be at least pointless.
