\r\nAnmod comes from Brazil and emanate from the ashes of (famous enough in their country according to them) Fornication. Monstrosity Per Defectum is their debut album in which we find 12 tracks of typical Grindcore with enough dose from Death Metal. Personally I believe that this album, does not have something that we will appeal to us and for sure do not make Anmod one of the best Brazilian bands of the genre for two reasons.
\r\n When the band is called Warmaster, the album First War and band mates wear Bolt Thrower and Obituary t-shirts, what they have to do in order to expalin what kind of music they play. As you understood we have to deal with a band that accupies with war Death Metal and naturally the basic influences are Bolt Thrower, Unleashed, Six Feet Under etc.

\r\nEnsis is a new band from Luxembourg and Overture (The Burning Shrine Of Hypocrisy) is their debut EP. In this, the band presents to us 4 tracks and for sure it also reveals what we are in the future. Thrash/Death Metal as that of The Haunted and with little of Hardcore (mainly in vocals) is what composes the EP. If we judge from these compositions, the group appears very tied up while it give us the impression that they exist for a lot of years.
\r\nThe first thing that made me impression in this release is the very careful work with regard to all package, which is also a self-financed sponsoring. The second thing is the very ugly and simple cover, which sure does not reflect what we hear in the album. Beyond aesthetic nature concerns, we must go to the music of Nail, which is interesting enough and with still few effort and work will become exceptional.
\r\nBlack Metal from Chile and more concretely from Animus Mortis, a band which does not have very much to show. In the past the group has released a Demo and last February was the month for the release of their debut album, called Atrabilis (Residues From Verb and Flesh). Here the things are too simple and evident. The group shows its love in the Norwegian scene through 8 compositions that however are classic and usual. Anything that we listen from typical Black Metal groups is here and there is nothing that will make the difference.
\r\nThis album was initially meant to be released from Transmission Records in 2006, which however closed down. For this reason, Ebony Ark should have to find another record label, in order to release this album and so we had this delay of two years. Finally the album releases from Ascendance Records and the band should be happy enough with this particular company, which although is not one of the well-known, however it is very reliable and supports by all means its bands.
\r\nSeventh Avenue have been around for several years however they are not one of the well known bands in their field. They come from Germany and they play (what else?...) Heavy/Power Metal or in their words Christian /Heavy Metal. Anywat, what we listen to in this album isn’t anything new and at some point feels like someone copied and then pasted Gamma Ray or Helloween.
\r\nFrench Jenx in their debut album, have tried to do something very daring which finally it did not attribute the best results. They tried to create something which is between Metalcore and Industrial, but unfortunately the mediocrity is the only that prevailed. Firstly, the first negative element which should be very much improved is vocals, that in all of the tracks is heard flat, colorless and monotonous. Beyond them, the songs are also somehow monotonous with only few good moments that however are not capable to gain us.
What would be the result if we mix all these bands? Kyuss, P.J. Harvey and the legendary Coven. I m sure this is not such an easy thing to imagine, or to do, but SubRosa did it, and did it very well.
