Reviews
\r\n "Martyr Of Wrath", is the latest album by Must Missa and the band simply continues from where its previous effort "Target of Hate" left off. Nothing else than hatefull, aggressive, raw, old school blackened Thrash metal. Destruction, Sodom, Celtic Frost, Slayer, all these thrash megatherions are being paid tribute by those dear Estonians.
\r\n Must Missa is from Estonia and they started out as a pure black metal band but gradually they evolved into a thrash metal act mixing some black metal elements.
\r\n Hesperus Dimension is an industrial post black metal trio hailing from Poland, who deliver an unusual mix of industrial, electro and post-black reminding of bands like Arcturus, Thorns, Aborym, DHG or Kovenant. "The Cyclothymatic Panopticon" is their second release and their second EP with running time about 25 minutes and 6 tracks of extreme musical confusion and disorder, creating a cold, unintelligible and dissonant auditory experience.
\r\nThe punk influences of the band are more than obvious on one hand, yet in a groovy/stoner rock mood. How come? They have accomplished to combine in an intelligent way the two basic musical directions on which album is based, that in theory are not that relative. Practically, though, a little bit dirty/aggressive feeling in the vocal parts, a little bit the metal/stoner guitars and the rhythms that play in both fields grounds, and the guys from Long Island present to us an album for specific taste in music, which, though, can appeal a wider audience as well.
At last, the first full length release by the Finnish doom metal outfit The Wandering Midget is here, the band impressed us with the their demos “First Encounter” and “I Am The Gate” last year and now have returned to shut many mouths up with this traditional, occult doom metal that they play.
The promising Doom metal masters, The Wizar’d just a few days ago released at last their debut album, entitled “Infernal Wizardy”, a release that only could cause smiles on the face of their fans of the Australian Doomsters
The First album for the U.S. outfit, Apostle Of Solitude is a fact and it sounds the way that many of us expected to sound, having in mind their previous E.P. in 2006
\r\nThe Album entitled “Sincerest Misery” and even from the first note, the listener realizes what is about to listen to, down tempo, soul torturing doom metal, somewhere between Trouble, Candlemass and the rest of the Doom Metal giants.
The Norwegian outfit Batallion, has been formed back in 2006, and after their first release, the selftitled EP back in 2007, this years they return with their first full length release, entitled “Stronghold of Men”
