\r\nI was introduced to the band via myspace just a few time ago and I have to admit that what I heard impressed me from the first moment that I checked their webpage to listen to their songs. According to the info on their page, the band was formed in 2005 as VIOLATOR and one year later they recorded the demo “Collapsed Mind” which was clearly referring to the Bay Thrash scene of the 80s. However, the band evolves its style, and under the name TURBULENCE,after spending a year for recordings, they release the EP “Cryonics”.

Grey is the name of the debut album from the French band Dwellers Of The Twilight, and what they try to do here is write music with Anaal Nathrakh as their main influence. The result is nine tracks almost identical with each other with no element of surprise. We are listening to chaotic Black Metal which lacks inspiration (no surprise there, since the band’s MySpace informs us that all the songs were composed and recorded within a week) and boredom rules the whole album.

New release for our very own Nethescerial, the name of which is Qvorum and it is a mini-CD. I had the chance to listen to the band’s older releases and what I observe every time is that Nethescerial are evolving and maturing as time goes by. Qvorum consists of  five tracks and it is a very special project which requires one’s full attention since it is not so easy to listen to. The songs on this album are technical, chaotic, symphonic, atmospheric and above all, extreme.

Bullet is a group which comes from Sweden and this is their second release, after 2006 debut "Heading For The Top". Their main purpose of this release is, (as they say in the track "Rock n’ Roll Remedy") to rock this town and believe me, they know how to do it, damn right. As soon as you listen to the first riffs, the clock stops and the time machine gets you, to the glorious past of groups like : Judas Priest, Ac/Dc, Exciter and a little bit of Iron Maiden and Saxon (musically speaking). Nothing innovative, great pure 80s atmosphere and mood, though.

\r\nIt had been said many times that after some point, and more specifically after the release of the album “In Search of Truth”, EVERGREY began to focus more on the lyrics rather than the music, a fact that led to a quite different musical orientation as the band lost a lot of its dark feeling.This time, as if he describes his most awful nightmares with a wild and unique beauty in each word, in each riff, this great persona called Tom Englund seems to facing his most malicious demons and he fe

Motorhead, a band that has offered some great moments in Metal History and written its name with golden letters in the book of Rock Legends. This new album is nothing else but the continue of their saga. Another worth to notice release, on their music’s prototypes (and stereotypes). The sound of the album is typical Motorhead and by the time the first riff enters, you can immediately recognise them.

\r\nHow would it be if we had the tinge of the voice of Tool, basic vocal lines by Korn (check “Quicksand” for example), the guitars of Staind and we covered all these with an atmospheric veil? Well, pretty close to Mnemonic for sure! From the first time I listened to Pandora I realized that the production was in top level, I wasn’t surprised when later on I read somewhere that responsible for this was Sylvia Massy-Shivy, known for working with Tool, Johnny Cash and many others. Pandora is a good release, undeniably!

\r\nShould I say that the front cover made me curious about the music? It was the simplest cover I have ever seen.. By this point of view, then yeah, maybe I was curious of what could be inside something so minimal as this, I still couldn’t believe though that a CD could reach the stores like that! I was relieved when I saw the “real” cover in the band’s site, since I had the promo, it was beautiful!
