\r\nI think most of the people found out about this band, the less famous from all the old NWOBHM bands from United Kingdom, when Metallica covered their title song ’Blitzkrieg’, featured on the B side of ’Creeping Death’ single. Founded back in 1980 and after several splits and reunions, the band managed since 2001 to regularly releasing albums again under the firm guidance of its vocalist Brian Ross.
\r\nAt last! After 6 years, the new album by The Cult. I Think that there’s no need of introduction for the mid 80’s super group .The Cult is A Band that have been through many styles of music, seasons change, so The Cult do. So I’m going to put the CD into the CD player tray and here we go…

\r\nWhen, 13 years ago, Timo Tolkki decided to include Timo Kotipelto in his band as the voice of his compositions, surely he must’ve felt satisfaction and immense joy with his decision. And how could there not be emotions when placing somebody with a such a unique and beautiful voice in the position of the lead singer! As a result, from the album "Fourth Dimension" and afterwards Kotipelto’s voice literally "decorates" the songs of Stratovarius.

\r\nHaving previously released "Super Metal" in 2003, the Italian group Powerful doesn’t succeed in introducing us to a different sound with their new Full-Length release. Adding 4 new songs though does in fact strengthen the whole image of the album. Fast, aggresive Heavy Metal, following in Primal Fear’s footsteps, and at certains points you can distinguish their Metal influences even from Exodus. However that is not enough..
\r\nThe Italians Novembre began their career in 1990 as a pure death metal band, by the moniker Catacomb. As years passed by and especially after their transposition by the Italian record company Polyphemus to the multinational Century Media in 1999, they began to incorporate various progressive elements, lending at the same time some features from groups of the so called atmospheric sound. And this is the musical style they also maintain in their new release by the title "The Blue".
The Bastard Sons of Black Sabbath are located in Japan, from where they keep on hammering us with their never ending doom / stoner metal. And these guys are the “Church Of Misey” that with their latest album “Vol.1”, made us really to lose the ground beneath our very feet. Just a glance on the album cover and then you realize what is all about. Slow to death , groovy with the ultimate rhythm section, monolithic riffs, and the voice of Hideki Fukasawa which reminds Chris Cornell’s one.
The Second album by the germans doomsters Voodooshock entitled “Marie’s sister’s garden” continuing their first album release “Voodooshock” back in 2002. Once again the influences of St Vitus, The Obsessed, Electic Wizard and of course Revelation are recognizable from the first time someone listens to it. “Marie’s Sister’s Garden” can easily be parted in two sections, the more classical traditional doom tracks and the more melodick stoner rock influenced tracks.
