Despite its minor flaws and a few “Sort-of” filler tracks, Conclusion of an Age is a solid thrash/melo-death album that you should definitely give a listen. What I love most about this band is that, although at their very core they are a thrash band, they never try to conform to one certain genre, which is what makes their sound so difficult to describe. Sylosis is truly original metal, and if they filter out the filler tracks on future albums and make the acoustic sections more varied (or hell, just leave them out altogether), then they are posed and ready to conquer the world. A band this diverse in their sound should be able to appeal to most metal fans without sacrificing their amazing sound, which is the key to greatness. Highly recommended!

Formed by two former members of Hate Eternal and a drummer I’ve never heard of, the band take much of their sound from their former masters’ crushing heaviness, but throw in plenty of dissonant weirdness courtesy of Gorguts as well, forming a freakish crossbreed that is more reminiscent of those Australian trailblazers Portal than anyone. Yet whilst Portal are all about the unsettling atmosphere, Gigan take a step back and allow you to be buffeted by the technicality of the music alone. Imagine a Cryptopsy that hasn’t gone to complete shit, one that was willing to go off into space rather than into Deathcore land, and you’ll start to appreciate what Gigan have managed to achieve here. I’ve seen this classified as Psychedelic Death Metal, and listening to the likes of the eight-minute Hiding Behind The House Of Mirrors I can see why, distinctly spacey for half the running before turning into an intense and sharp-edged trip that takes Meshuggah’s weirdest moments and nastily stabs you in the face with them. Of course, songs like Still Image Symphomy manage to be suitably freak-y as well, technical and Proggy without losing that all-important Death Metal edge.

The majority of the ‘songs’ here are three-to-four minute bursts of leftfield brutality that will all sound the same until you’ve listened more than five times or so, but will leave a deranged smile on your face each and every time. It goes without saying that both Eric Herseman (guitars, bass, ‘abstract sounds’) and Randy Piro (guitars, vocals, ‘abstract sounds’) are pretty incredible to listen to, their crazy riffs not just taking the ‘spazzcore’ route but genuinely sounding like something from an alternate universe, but the aforementioned previously-unknown drummer Danny Ryan is simply amazing, shunted to the background by the production but still an important part of proceedings and more than proof enough that Gigan are a genuinely awesome band.

As if you still needed persuasion as to that fact, then finale piece Untitled should convince, being twenty minutes of nightmarish echoes, drum solos, and psychedelic Noise that will leave you a gibbering wreck. It does the work of three Hawkwind albums, and whilst it’s not the kind of song that many will listen to on repeat, it is an excellent way to finish the album, providing the finishing blow after the severe beating of all the intense technicality, the likes of Undead Auditory Emanations burning a hole through your ears with their sheer Tech-Death quality. This really stands out from the crowd... anyone with an interest in the technical side of Death Metal should put Gigan at the top of their purchase list immediately.

With historical themes being so common in so many metal bands lyrics, stemming all the way back from the likes of Mercyful Fate's Curse Of The Pharaohs all the way up to Hail Of Bullet's recent concept album looking at the WW II Eastern Front, it's surprising that it's taken so long for a band like Ex Deo to show up. The band are lyrically concerned entirely with the great and gory history of the Roman Empire, and despite hailing from Canada they manage to sound surprisingly authentic and non-gimmicky. The band have received a considerable push with their debut Romulus, having signed to Nuclear Blast records and having roped in such high profile guests as fellow history buffs Nile's Karl Sanders and Behemoth frontman Nergal. There's a very good reason for this, as the band are none other than the members of leading Canadian death metallers Kataklysm. What is very surprising about Romulus, however, is that it's a considerably stronger effort than the band's last proper effort in their day jobs. The constant chugging of the mediocre Prevail has been replaced by a far more stately, epic sound, Blackguard keyboardist Jonathan Leduc supplying the band with symphonic lines that add a rather nice extra touch of melody. Maurizio Iacono (apparently the driving force behind Ex Deo) turns in a suitably imperial vocal performance, genuinely sounding like he's leading his legions into battle. His commanding roar has enough gravitas that I can ignore the occasionally wobbly lyrics. Although it's not as cliché-ridden as say, Alestorm, the lyrics can feel a little vague. Although it'd be too much of me to demand a history lesson from the band, it would be nice to have a bit more than a few obligatory references to Rome and Caesar. It's a shame, as when Iacono does refer to specific historical events, he seems to know his stuff, especially on The Final War (Battle Of Actium). The album mostly seems to deal with the exploits of Julius Caesar and his nephew Augustus, taking in such historical battles as the Siege Of Alesia and the crushing of Mark Antony at Actium. Being a death metal album, of course, much of it is incomprehensible lyrically, despite Iacono being one of the more understandable vocalists in his field.
Romulus will probably be skipped over as a footnote in the Katalysm history, Ex Deo viewed as merely an experiment. And that'd be a great shame as it sounds more alive than anything the band have done in a while in their guises as Katalysm. Let's hope Romulus gets the respect it deserves, rather than simply being banished to history.

Cauldron is the remains of the highly acclaimed and absolutely brilliant Goat Horn who took underground doomy heavy metal a giant step forward. The only member who remains from the old days is vocalist and bassist Jason Decay who has steered this band in a little heavier and upbeat direction. Chained to the Nite consists of a formula that very often proves successful when perfectly balanced. Thrashier NWOBHM-influenced heavy metal with faint hints of catchy power metal makes this simple yet varied record a constant visitor in the stereo, as the trio provides rock solid songwriting, strong riffs, melodic and soulful leads, thin yet somewhat aggressive vocal work as well as a powerful presence that never shows signs of going anywhere else. In other words, your attention will not fade away unless you’ve been on an experimental/alternative/atmospheric/progressive metal trip lately, and this just becomes too simple and too “in here” rather than “out there” for you!

Unlike the now stagnating thrash-revival that have bored us out of our minds for the last couple of years, new quality heavy metal bands, both retro and modern has been popping up on a frequent basis. Along with Icarus Witch, Slough Feg, Wolf and Grand Magus, Cauldron manages to capture some of the magic of the early days and transform it into something of their own. The guitar-riffs are choppy, staccato and always catchy when layered over lively galloping bass and drum-patterns. Some of the thrashier riffs like the one on the album highlight Conjure the Mass could’ve almost been pulled straight out of Rust in Peace, and Jason Decay’s nasty vocals also brings back the feeling of the somewhat unfinished and dirty vocalists that roamed the genre back in the day but still managed to be perfect for their particular band even though they weren’t the most gifted of performers. On The Leaven / Fermenting Enchantress, they include some of the doom-influences that probably has been hanging on since the Goat Horn-days, and this song, with its simple yet creative axeman-ship stands as one of my personal favorites, and due to the track’s length, I get a slight Phantom of the Opera feel. Not necessarily because of the similarities, but rather the feel, the structure and the almost constant shifts in rhythm and shape. The power-anthem double bass-driven Dream Die Young is somewhat reminiscent of Deris-era Helloween with its energetic full-speed riffing and the relentless attitude that backs up every song on Chained to the Night.

There are really no down-points about this album, but if there were to be something, the vocals may come off as a little lackluster at times. However, living in the age of absolute perfection, I find this like nothing but a breath of fresh air as it brings back retro vibes and timeless emotions that shouldn’t be forgotten, but seems to drown in the sea of various core-bands that will never have the same impact.

Ok lets get back in business focusing on an inspired mix of NWOBHM and Doom Metal and in the case of Hour Of 13 from North Carolina, USA the whole thing gets even and even more interesting. It may have taken almost a year for the guys to finish that record and probably it was a hard decision for Mr Phill Swanson (also on Upwards Of Endtime, Seamount, Earthlord) to pass his dark voice from Vestal Claret (R.I.P.) to Hour Of 13 but thanks to the mystical guitar melodies and the hammering rhythm wall of Chad Davis it happened. Yes it is the co-operation of those two that gave birth to Hour Of 13 a band that presents (or represents?) a mixture of NWOBHM and Doom Metal WITHOUT the goal to sound retro and out of date!

Yes they are setting different goals for example to explore those dark and mystical melodies that are creeping somewhere between hate and sorrow enforced by an apocalyptic and occult touch that ends to be really attractive! You should try and bring all this stuff in mind taking as a fact that it is presented through a clear and HEAVY sound. They seem to play their music outside the trip of “who is going to sound more old fashioned and retro?” and yes they manage to make the listener dive even deeper into their music. Retro may be attractive as well but when it becomes a trend we should probably let someone else (probably Lee and his friends?) to grab it and sell it around. Back on topic I really enjoyed Phill’s vocals in here they sound much more different than in Upwards Of Endtime: even more straight, clean and melodic and for those that are not satsfited with some good vocals and some mystical guitar melodies ok I wrote it before: Chad hammers his bass and drums, creating this rhythm section you are still searching in this type of music.

This album is actually a tribute to all of our beloved obscure and mystical NWOBHM and Doom bands. Witchfinder General, Angelwitch, Ritual (UK) etc. shapes the NWOBHM part of the band and if you ask me about the Doom part I would mention of course the 70s Black Sabbath plus the most beautiful moments of The Purple Album by The Obsessed, some Count Raven from the debut album and of course some Pentagram. But it is better to stop asking question and turn the volume louder in order to hear some fucking METAL. If you have read it so far and you are STILL getting prepared for the usual hippie stuff, turn the fucking page and do not spend your money on Hour Of 13. they do not need them after all. They have sold their souls to Satan and he is going to give em all the money they ask for.

Formed as a side-project of members from Fear Factory, Napalm Death and Faith No More, Brujeria is the kind of band that is a bit spoilt if you’re in on the joke. Ostensibly, this is the daily playlist for a gang of Satan-worshipping Mexican drug barons, songs about killing blonde-haired Americans, molesting dead children, and, erm, crossing the border the deal of the day, and from a casual look at the cover and lyrics it’s hard not to blame the places that banned the album. Yet when you spend time with the album, it’s equally hard to see quite how it fooled so many. The intro skit to the album, Pura De Venta, is a drug deal gone wrong, some foolish güero questioning the purity of the product and getting a machete through the gut for his trouble, the dumb cabron. Leyes Narcos continues, opening lyrics as follows: ‘Pendejos! No se juega con las leyes de los narcos-satanicos’ (roughly translated: ‘Shitheads! Do not mess with the rules of Satanic drug-runners!’) and if you’re drunk and have the translated lyrics in front of you, then Matando Güeros is an absolute blast.

If you’re not and you don’t, it becomes distinctly less fun, and really I fully advise keeping this album for that situation alone. Then you can revel in the likes of the title track (‘killing white boys – long live the race!’) and Seis Seis Seis’ speedy grindcore (‘meanwhile I eat the brains of a virgin white boy/my father Satan is giving me kisses’) and Cruza La Frontera (‘don’t pay the coyotes, they are fucking thieves/they leave you lost, the border patrol fucks you – Satan cares more’) and Grenudos Locos (‘play this record if you have balls/radio doesn’t give a shit, their music sucks dick’) amongst others. Yet if you don’t have the lyrics, the primitive Death/Grind here is still rather good, even instrumental track Chinga Tu Madre worth listening to. The playing is sloppy and all over the place, drummer Grenudo/Raymond Herrera barely recognisable from the difference here to his usual technical precision, and guitarists Dino Cazares and Billy Gould (Asesino and Guero Sin Fe respectively) far from their typical sounds. This album features two bassists, Hongo/Shane Embury and Fantasma/Pat Hoed, and that really contributes to the album’s bottom-end sound, overwhelmingly murky and dark.

As a debut Matando Güeros is great, one of those fun little albums that the majority of Metalheads probably haven’t heard of. There’s been rumours of a new album from Brujeria for a while (the line-up now including Carcass' Jeff Walker) so what better time to check the band’s past out? If you have a sense of humour and live, breath and eat Death Metal, then Brujeria should be well-known to you.

Trying to describe Thy Catafalque music verbally is a futile task, I completely realize that. You have to experience it with your own skin, ears and some sixth sense to become a believer. I underwent two states while listening to Róka Hasa Rádió. When the music was post-black and crushingly heavy, my brain went into isolation, trying to ponder my own relationship with the world. Call it catharsis. Yet, many a times, when Tamas played a piano melody akin to a spring snow meltdown, with clarity rivaling some mountain brook (Molekuláris Gépezetek, Fehér Berek), I felt incredibly refreshed, calm and rested. The female voices, used quite often on Róka Hasa Rádió perpetuate this relaxation feeling. In fact, the album is a lot more vocalized than its predecessor, and it is an absolute shame I do not understand the lyrics. They must be a huge part of the message, providing the narrative to this music tapestry. Alas, those of us who do not speak or understand Hungarian, and I suspect those would be many, will be missing one dimension of Róka Hasa Rádió. Regrettable, this should not be an excuse for you not to delve into this completely the first chance you get.

There is room for improvement here and there – a bit more variety in the base Sludgy riffs would really take them into the stratosphere – but by and large Behold!

If you find yourself wishing that Mastodon would go back to their old Sludgy ways then you should certainly check this band out.

Based on "Evilution", this is cool crossover/thrash; the tempo is energetic, without being very fast. Some tracks are pure intense speed/thrashers- "Mulling Over Anaesthesia", others are jolly crossover hymns- "Beria, Show Him the Door". Both the bass and guitar work are strong, giving the sound some technical decorations- "To Whom Can You Turn": a very cool diverse instrumental. The guys are specialists in catchy, infectious choruses- check out the nice "Kill Each Other". They later decided to change their name to Omnitron, with which came the change of style into not very convincing technical/progressive semi-thrash.

“Hassan..” is a J. PRIESTified kick in the groin. The kind of hard post-70’s metal sound that made albums like “Sin After Sin” and “Stained Class” to such groundbreaking classics.. “Angeles..” is a slower (but not softer) and more epic piece which for a few seconds in the middle of the song sound more like JUDAS PRIEST than JUDAS PRIEST ever did. Then it comes, this rabid monster of a song! “Tierra Prometida” is like Thor The Thundergod galloping over the South American midnight sky on his 8-legged horse Sleipner, both of them juiced up on Venezuela’s finest uncut cocaine! Fuckin’ raging METAL that took most of the US scene another 5 years to match. Side B has slightly less epic songs, but is none the less powerful, with 2 particular standouts: “Muerto en Vida”, a real crusher and definitely the fastest song on the album, and the almost doom “Resistencia”, another brilliant song well worthy of being a theme-song for the band. RESISTENCIA are even more ahead of their time than their legendary countrymen ARKANGEL. Unlike them they never border on Rock/R’n’R, but stay consistantly on the narrow Metal path and are also more dynamic in their songwriting. Despite my repeated reference to another old classic act I would still say they had a sound of their own. There’s an exotic, almost graceful vibe throughout the album, not only due to the fine vocal performance of César Alberto Somoza Torres. Must be their indian genes. The band produced 3 records between ’81-84.

Whoa. Now this something. The one and only release from swedish OMNITRON (previosuly known as The Krixhjälters) brings a really unique experience with its original sound, not similar to any other band known to me. From rapping to saxophone, from totally weird lyrics to catchy songs which will hook you, like "Triumph of What" or "How the Steel Was Tempered", you name it! Packed up with those typical Nordic "boyish" vocals (think latest works of Airdash and Stone) and original song writing, a real masterpiece, hehe! Highly recommended to all "non-conservative" metallers out there, but be aware: this is a "love it or hate it" album, so be sure to check out some samples before buying, or you can end up having an album you'll hate to even look at.

Based on "Let Draka", this is atmospheric thrash with touches of doom; a very dark, but also eclectic affair featuring some unusual time signatures and chaotic, but interesting song structures. Back in 1990 there was noone to play something similar to those guys. There are some melodic solos taken from classic heavy metal. With its avantgarde approach, this album reminds me of Celtic Frost's "Into The Pandemonium" (this one here sounds even better). The Italian band Glacial Fear (their early efforts) is another close soundalike, but Drakar don't use death metal elements in their music. This is a very interesting, unconventional listen.

Writing a MANIMALS review without mentioning THE MISFITS would be original, yes, but really foolish. It doesn't take many seconds of listening or watching the sleeve to figure out these guys all-time favorite band. The main thing that set them apart is of course that MANIMALS are more metallic (and no, that does NOT make them sound like DANZIG!), with longer songs and more advanced song structures Their gloomy Power/Speed has some punk elements, but not in a tacky hc/crossover way that would repel metalheads with a taste for catchy choruses and tasty "aaaah's" and "Wooh-hoo's". Then again THE MISFITS always were the one punk band that even the most narrow-minded metal-fan would get off on.

The epic title track is by far their greatest moment, and at first listenings it almost makes MANIMALS sound like a one-hit wonder. Now this is not due to the rest of the songs lacking in quality, but rather because "Blood Is The Harvest" is a bone-chillingly catchy hit of monstrous (pardon the pun) proportions! The very last chords and vocal harmonies will give goosebumps to the dead, no doubt. "White Zombie" is perhaps the weakest song on the album, but after that they're back in the saddle again. The howling Speed Metal of "Monster Nation" sound like MOTÖRHEAD on a particularly dark and stormy night, "Burn Witch Burn" combines fast chainsaw-riffing with a great singalong chorus, and the 'Wailing Wolf-Metal' of "Outside Your Window" does a significantly better job of projecting images of gloomy forests and white fangs gleaming in the moonlight than a dozen Norwegian Grim Black Metal-bands combined. The closing "Island Of Lost Souls" is based on the classic horror/sci-fi flix with the same name (aka "Island of Dr. Moreau"), from which the band also took it's name. Here they return to the instant hit-factor of the title-track, which thoroughly cements this very unique HORROR METAL album into your bones forever.

I could call this the greatest NWOBHM record from the USA, but why use that old monicker when bands all around the world did rather similar things at this period. With so many plain, boring "Heavy Rock" records coming out at this time, you wonder if it was CRYSYS who, in an act of Metallic vampirism, sucked all the energy out of about 50 of them and fuled their own amazing record with their life blood. At first it sounds so simple and you really can't understad why you like it so much. After the 3rd or 4th listening the album starts to unravel its mysteries. It's all about the riffs, you see. They're like distilled Metal - they've passed through the process of refinement so many times only the whitening bones of Hard Rock remains. They're damn near perfect. No godawful "blues rock"-inspired parts, no tacky sleaze, no radio-friendly "hit-song", even the semi-ballad "Touch Me" is a brilliant rock song in its own right. There is a slight 70's feel about certain parts of the axework, but not in the disguise of so called "musical experimentation" - just HARD rock guitars all the way through. I'd call them the RAMONES of Metal if wouldn't scare off so many potential listeners. Opening crusher "Blue Steel" is exceptionally effective despite the rather simple lead riff. The cavalry of the undead has arrived to rape, pillage and burn down your stereo! (imagine that...) The title-song is another really catchy HR-gem, but it's not until you reach the B-side that this album unleashes it's heaviest artillery. Like the super-heavy hard rock monster "Super Starz", the fast, energetic, doin'-the-sign-of-the-devil-invoking "Satans World", and the incredible "Black Out" - a song so beautiful in it's simplicity you don't know weather to shit or go blind. After more than 30 minutes of full frontal Hard Rock assault the opening-riff to "Hellsville" will stomp your lifeless corpse into the ground and you will love every second of it. The vocals of Stefan King are another major reason why "CRYSYS ROCKS!". They are powerful, hard hitting and honest and neither growls nor breaks into annoying falsetto. Them and the very live, in-your-face production is the magic that turnes killer riffing into gold. Anyone with a taste for the so-called "NWOBHM-sound" should own at least one copy.

The overall performance from the musicians offers nothing to complain about. Death SS are a tight, able band, who don’t overstretch their limits and make the most out of their abilities. I would never focus on technicality as a highlight of the album, but it isn’t supposed to be. Death SS don’t try to impress by means of virtuosity; their strength lies in the songwriting, and they know it and play accordingly. The one complaint a listener could possibly have would be with the vocals. Sylvester has a slightly nasal tone, which combined with the heavy Italian accent, may dissuade some listeners from giving it the attention it deserves. Which is a shame, as this album truly is an underrated, overlooked gem of European metal. The impact it has had on the bands of the area is undeniable, and it is without hesitation that I bestow the moniker of “classic” upon this album.

I always get slightly irritated when I see 90's and late 80's UK Metal releases listed as "nwobhm". The New Wave Of Brittish Heavy Metal was linked to specific events and a specific period in music history and does NOT apply to every two-bit rock band who released a single in the UK anytime between 1978 and eternity ...with the GRAND exception of this earthshattering EP! My - F*cking - God. Just look at it! Does it look the least like it could be one of the finest late 80's European privates? No. Does it even look like a Metal album?? Nope, I passed it by the 1st time I saw it, taking it for some sleazoid, post-punk, quasi-alternative, whatever-music. Thank god there's such a thing as portable record players. Putting down the needle on this true Metal Treasure for the first time sent me on a time- and space warp back to UK '81. "Undo The Chains" is like the best JAGUAR-song never written! If you thought "Axe Crazy" was a hit, wait until you hear this! It has the same catchyness as, ehr... hm... early Bad Religion maybe? The tempo then makes a radical change with "Take Me In Heat", a slow song constructed in the same manner as those early METALLICA-ballads, but sounding much older and more European. "Running Away" is this bloody leach of a song which has trasfixed itself on my mind since the day I first heard it. I've been humming along to that ultra-catchy chorus for weeks now and it still won't leave my mind alone. It's their most thorough and basic NWOBHM-song, with the same kind of groove as good ol' SOLDIER or EF BAND at their best. But better. Then when you'd expect them to run out of steam they totally knocks you out with the fantastic 6 minute epic "The End Is Nigh". The vocal melodies of the verse is Epic Power Metal in it's purest and most basic form; mesmerizing and raw at the same time, not too far away from the finest moments of Italian masters WYXMER. You get the impression SHOCKSPLIT were a young band at the time of recording, something that perhaps the rhythm section suffers for on a few occations, but they more than make up for it with their 2nd strongest asset (after their songs): their brillant vocalist Andy "Crate" Carter. He's got this perfect, clear, juvenile voice that was made for singing NWOBHM anthems. Where is he now? Where are any of them? SHOCKSPLIT seem to be yet another lost mystery band, but a really brilliant one for once. To me, unearthing gems like "Under Wraps" is what Heavy Metal Collecting is all about and I hereby order you to follow my example. The world could end any day now and then your life would have been uncomplete 'coz you never got to hear their music. Just don't say I never told you, ok...

SI really try to be weird, and in some ways they succed. Unfortunately it's not the kind unintentional, bugs-crawling-under-your-skin originality than one wish for when first seeing the album. The music is best described as progressive semi-Thrash from the same planet as WATCHTOWER or the 1st SIEGES EVEN LP, with the hit-potential of the 1st TESTAMENT album (the good one!) and frosted with the occational epic/Maidenesque riffing. ...But that's only after listening to it the 10th time. At 1st listening they're a total ruckus. The production is kind of hollow, and they really could have used another guitarist. That would have made this record into a real gem. Now is sounds more like a rough-mix of good things to come. It's hard to pic a favourite track since they all clock over 5 minutes and include so many different parts. On the excellent "Beaneath Your Lives" they can go from generic thrash to a powerful chorus to quirky off-beat weirdness in litte over 30 seconds and it sure takes some time to take it all in, but once you get it, it really is a great track. The opening riffs to "Rails" will put a smile on the face of any Power Metal fan, but the typical Thrash vocals might be a turnoff. Steve Lytle's backing vox saves the day though, adding a little extra flavour to the otherwise flat mix. Closing piece "Last of the Torment" is the most Classic Metal Song, with some really riveting riffs towards the end. All in all it's a mish-mash of melodic intricate riffing, mid-paced Thrash rhythms and start/stop song structures with one guitar short. Might be too much to stomach for the average Trad-metal fan, but if you (like me) have a weak spot for Strange Metal it's one of the essentials. I've seldom seen this EP offered and even if the music is an aquired taste, it still seem to be on quite a few wantlists, so be prepared to pay up should it ever cross your path.

I truly love this album. Guitars like a rusty sawblade to your vertebrae and riffing that grabs you by the neck and forces you to bang your fucking eyeballs out - in each and every of the 8 songs! The vocal style of Mick Pendergast is yet another thing I enjoy. His cool yet menacing voice comes off as a more restrained young James Hetfield and blends perfectly with their Rock-hard 'Riff Metal'. On powerful-on-the-gigahertz-scale METAL pieces like "Vicious Cycles", "12 a.m." and the incredible "The Jester" they almost come close to BROCAS HELM-godliness (in the Frisco-trio's most straightforward moments) while 200-titanium-rhinos-on-the-face-of-the-sun fakk-off-HEAVY monsters like "The Slasher" and "Princess Down 20" tangent PENTAGRAM-heaviness (well, more like DEVIL'S CHILDE actually). If there ever was an album meant to be played LOUD! it's this one. Productionwise "12 a.m." may be two inches away from a disaster, but the raw, distorted mixing doesn't ruin the album in a Satan's Host kind of way, instead it just makes it different, like a massive wall of sound crumbling down on you like manna from hell. It could be the best basement demo ever recorded, and once you've pulverized your speaker membranes with INNER SANCTUM, the distorted-to-bloody-hell guitars will sound totally natural and in place. Now where do I squeeze in the obvious BLITZKRIEG-comparison then? Hm..

In 1994 Walls Down Records from Luxembourg re-released this album on CD, with 4 bonus tracks consisting of a demo from '87. Unfortunately the whole affair is let down by the muffled sound on the LP recording. It sounds like it was mastered from a 2nd generation tape copy at best, and the raw energy of the original release is reduced to the sloppy mess it is rumoured to be. It's still a release worth picking up because of the demo which is almost in the same league as the album, especially the epic "The Haunting".

If you by any chance are in possession of this record and think I've overrated it, I dare you to give it a spin right now and then call me a liar in public. As a final footnote I'd like to point out the irony of how INNER SANCTUM most likely will be remembered as the band where DREAM THEATRE's Mike Portnoy began his skinwhipping career. Sheer tragedy since DREAM THEATRE are miles behind the guy said to have caught a glimpse of INNER SANCTUM's taillights fading beyond the horizon of steel. OFFICIAL!

Apparently the influence of the NWOBHM had made it to the other side of the globe by 1984, as this, their only release, the "Breaking Out" EP, sounds like it could have been recorded in a glum Nothern British town by mullet sporting denim clad spotty youth. A few of the tracks have a slightly more Hard Rock feel in places, and the sound is derivative, but i like this one and think that you might do too.

A Piece of trivia : the bands unusual name is the guitarists surname spelled backwards. The Hard Rock four piece released their only record, the "Forever Young" six song Mini LP on the Voice label in 1985. Despite the quality of the playing & songwriting the record sold poorly at the time, forcing the band to give up the ghost shortly after it's release. Connisseurs of 1980's Hard Rock have reappraised the record since then and it has become a much sought after item, see what you reckon.

Even on a saturated scene like the Brazilian one, these guys will easily stick out, simply because this is one of the best debuts to come out of there in years. Technical thrash of the heavier type with fast, Slayer-esque parts is what's on offer here. The guitar work is particularly good, and will also remind you of Death, ably supported by great heavy bass-bottom. The music at times gets quite fast and aggressive, acquiring slight shade of death metal ("Timeline of Massacre", the second part of "Jailor"), and this is where the guys put more effort, coming with a really impressive performance, mainly by the guitarists again; their swirling technical hooks will keep you on the alert the whole time. The headbangers will not be disappointed, either: more direct, shorter Slayer-esque numbers are also here: "Corpus Christ", but again with a certain technical edge. Technical masterpieces like "Deaf Lords" and "Necropolis" would be hard to match even by the most experienced practitioners of the genre- both songs are true gems, the absolute highlight of the album. The vocals are the only flaw, being quite shouty, with an unpleasant hardcore edge; they sound appropriate, though, when the guy tries to scream ala Tom Araya (remember "Angel of Death").

A very good, but forgotten thrash metal band; their style is quite close to the first Onslaught albums or Hallows Eve: dark, evil thrash, quite energetic with some shades of black metal. The album is a cool mixture of more light-hearted speed/thrashers and vicious, more aggressive ones. Some slower, more power/thrash-based numbers are also here ("Threshold of Death"). You won't find any technical play here, but the intensity of the material will satisfy even the more pretentious thrash fans.

Another hidden gem in the metal underground: on "Damnation Play" Warmath play power/speed/thrash in the tradition of Agent Steel, Wrath and Toxik with nice technical riffs, brilliant solos and great galloping rhythms; very good, guitar-driven music which would have fitted nicely even into the Shrapnel catalogue. The opener "Damnation Play" is a strong technical up-tempo track, and sets the tone for the remaining ones. The album flows in an energetic speed/thrashy mood, seldom exiting the field, with some softer, heavy/power numbers ("The Land Of The Living", "The Fifth Season"), but this is nicely compensated by the more aggressive ones ("Slavery", "The Darkest Age"). After all, this is not an all-out thrash work, but is a blend of the aforementioned 3 styles, so it is not strictly for thrash fans.

Twenty years after the creation of Meliah Rage, the band from Boston is still alive. "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is their new album and marks the return of the original drummer Stuart Dowie. Though, the singer is not Mike Munro but Paul Souza who uses to sing with Meliah Rage since some years now. If you like the band, I'm sure that you'll like "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" even if I have some regrets with this album…

The sixth album of Meliah Rage follows, on a side, the recipe that the band has always used. "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is a mix of melodic Thrash and American Power and if you want to compare the band, I think that Rage should be a good name. On the other hand, "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is also really modern and the height songs all have some European Metal influences. For sure the Power Metal influences are a lot more present on the new release and to sum up, the new album is a good but really easy of access and commercial album. The fans of the last Rage will like this release but if you want something a bit aggressive, you'll probably be disappointed. "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is catchy but not so violent, and for a band which plays Thrash, something is a bit missing…

Also, "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is extremely short. With only height songs and 36 minutes of music, it's a bit "weird"… Two years after the release of the previous album "Barely Human" (a really nice album by the way) it's surprising to see that Meliah Rage is not able to compose some more songs and it smells a bit something which was done in a hurry… But at least the production is great and if you like the really commercial songs of Metallica (I'm not talking about "St Anger" but more about the "Black Album") of course you'll probably like this new release. It's easy of access but catchy and if you like the fact that the band clearly mixed Thrash with Heavy Metal, then you'll enjoy a lot "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep".

With this new album, Meliah Rage proves that they still know how to play good music. However I regret that the band didn't manage to write songs a bit darker and aggressive because "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is a bit too soft for me. In the end, "The Deep And Dreamless Sleep" is a pleasant album but for sure it will not become the best album of the combo. Have a look on it if you like the band though…

8 years after their last release, Meliah Rage are back on the metal field, with "Barely Human", but this is barely the edgy power/thrash sound known from their past: the last two albums tread the classic heavy metal path, with some nods to the American power metal scene, and with almost no traces of thrash. Both works are actually sure picks for the fans of traditional metal, and are a good example of a band moving on, without betraying their roots.

"Unfinished Business", recorded in 1992, but released whole 10 years later, is closer in spirit to the debut, being again a more uneven effort, jumping from one extreme to another: the raging thrashers "Decade Dreams", "Mind Stalk", which are some of the most aggressive material the band ever composed; on the opposite side of the spectre we have the slow, melodic "Possessing Judgement", "Ruthless" (which is anything but ruthless), and the last two, more edgy, but still more power metal-sounding tracks.

Scene of the Crime' is an obscure NWOBHM-compilation featuring Savage, Sparta, Tyrant, Panza Division and Manitou (not to be confused with the Finnish Heavy Metal band). The music is your typical fair of early 80's British Metal. As was customary in this kind of samplers the production isn't very impressive. So all in all, even though all the bands have their moments, it's an average collection that's of interest to classic NWOBHM fans only.

After listening to this CD over and over again, I would describe "Sensitive" as a mixture of pop metal and straight forward 80's heavy metal. At times they remind me of a slightly heavier Sweet or Slade. Quite good. Funny thing is, this band is neither from England or the U.S., but rather from Germany. I really don't hear even the slightest hint of the German metal influence of bands like the Scorpions, Accept or even label mates like Grave Digger or Rage. Lyrics are all pretty much straight out of the gutters of Los Angeles. They are not really any better or worse than a band like Kiss or Sweet, although not quite as clever as a band like Aerosmith. I have a feeling that their vocalist may have been a stumbling block for some people. His high, sticky-sweet style sounds more like something out of the 70's than of the 80's. Also his ennunciation is a bit odd at times, at least to my ears. However, I find they give the band charisma. I like 'em. As a matter of fact, that is really all I have to say about this CD, I like it.

It was about time this Finnish Metal LP got reissued since finding an original copy is very difficult nowadays. “Guardians” was released in 1988 by Poko Records. The original LP contains 10 tracks.
All songs on the original album are very good to great, I just tend to enjoy more their faster tracks like “Let it Burn”, “Revenge doesn’t Care” or “Beat the Hell out of me”. Melodic Power Metal of great quality is what “Guardians” has to offer to you.

The sophomore album is harder, with nods to the speed/thrash metal scene: Exciter ("Bring Your Dead"'s main riff will remind you of "Violence and Force"), Whiplash, Exodus ("Cenobites", for example, sounds like a leftover from "Bonded by Blood"), accompanied by good, aggressive Paul Baloff (R.I.P.)-like vocals. This is very enjoyable, fast-paced and catchy stuff, with only one track reminding of the debut: the power metal-based, galloping "Heavy Metal Horror".

This band are virtually all Laaz Rockit members minus the drummer, who here comes from Defiance. The old school veterans have obviously gotten tired with the scene, and the style here is firmly in the modern 90's thrash vein ala Pantera; shades of "Nothing Sacred" can still be heard, but they're not too many, and despite the aggressive sound on this album, Gack couldn't be classified any higher than just a pale shadow of Laaz Rockit.

Quite fast after the release of their debut album, Lifelover returned with another piece of twisted sickness, this time entitled "Erotik". Before its release the band had announced that they had incorporated clean vocals and the fans where fearing that Lifelover would 'sell out' and take a less controversial musical direction.

Nothing could be less true. With "Erotik", Lifelover has taken another huge step towards complete insanity. The riffs have lost their uplifting touch from the debut, and have instead gained in grimness. The sound is dense and suffocating, and the vocalist seems to have lost all hope and control. He screams, moans, cries and pukes as if only insanity can bring him redemption. And the promised clean vocals are indeed given. At first, they may sound totally misplaced and strange, but after a couple of listenings you'll get used to them. On their own, the clean vocals are dreadful and utterly horrible, but in this twisted theater they are stars of the show. So do yourself a favour and don't discard this album at first sight, but give it a couple of listenings to get used to it and let it slowly infect you.

In general, the atmosphere of the debut sounds rather 'joyful' at times, and that was a pretty sick release in itself. To experience the downfall of society one should listen to "Erotik" and call in sick at work for the rest of the week. Sickness has taken a new direction and those who fall behind, are left behind!

Movie-makers all know it: one of the best ways to scare the living daylight out of people is to take something very sweet and innocent, and add something so horribly sickening, for optimal results. Little girls, clowns, dolls.. grant them the twisted mind of a psychopath and you'll have everyone hiding in the closet in no time.

The Swedish abominations that united in Lifelover must have thought the same thing. To release their mental horrid sickness they could not just do with Black Metal alone. Black Metal is no longer the shocking blasphemy that it was in its early days, they needed something more... repulsive.

So what did they do? They discovered the wisdom movie-makers have known long before and created "Pulver". This album can be best described as an assembly of Black Metal and The Cure. It contains the same type of horrid imaginaries, except much more evil and darker. Uplifting riffwork and disgusted sickening vocals, joyful soundsamples are drowned in the unlight of the horrendous atmosphere. Morals and values are reversed and nothing is what it seems to be.

The cover of the album pretty much sums it up: a naked girl lying on a bed of flowers in a sunny meadow, completely smeared with blood, yet relaxed and totally at ease. If you're in for something and are not afraid of an experiment, you'll discover sickness is more addictive than you could ever have imagined and will never think of rehabilitation again. Say goodbye to your family to forever embrace the darkness!

The long 6-year break between the two albums was detrimental to the band, as most of the fan-base had almost completely forgotten about them. However, they reminded of themselves in a magnificent way with "Faithless" featuring the same flamboyant style of the past, immediately shown with the very first track: "House of Confusion"- a blistering fast-paced technical thrasher, with a long, and slightly annoying quiet ending; the sound is more aggressive, with some mighty intense, speedy pieces present: "Division", accompanied by others, slower, but graced by some really stylish technical breaks: "Extreme Sensation"- the most technical track on the album. "Shoot You Down" is perhaps the odd song: longer and slower than the rest, apparently designed as a semi-ballad, with a more restrained guitar presence. Another great aggressive thrasher ("Bad Breath") closes this fairly entertaining album, which, alas, remained the band's last work.

This band could have outclassed Celtic Frost, and even Coroner, to become the most prominent Swiss band if they had been lucky (or not that lazy) to release albums on more regular terms. Their self-titled debut is a striking piece of semi-technical power/thrash with great riffs and memorable tracks; the opening track "Digital Life" is a truly impressive beginning, at the same time speedy, catchy and technical. What follows is equally as strong, including two great energetic technical instrumentals- "Smash" and "Dark Sword".

"Blood Portraits" finally hits the mark, and is the guys' finest hour so far. It is based around classic speed/thrash (more speed than thrash) ala Destructor, the Germans Vectom and Exciter, so expect direct simplistic tracks with melodic hooks aplenty and some fast rhythms. The album is quite consistent speed-wise, even longer, more serious songs like "House of the Dead" keep a dynamic pace throughout, slowing down for the occasional break. Pure speed metal releases are a rare breed nowadays, and those of you who were not very happy with the last Exciter output, will definitely lift up their mood with this one.

As you might have noticed, Hank Sherman pretty newly started a new band, Force of Evil. But that's not the only band he has started, the legendary Mercyful Fate is the most famous. He has also started a band named only Fate, it was a Hard Rock /AOR group he picked together in the middle of the eighties. Now he only stayed for two albums before moving on to start Lavina.
This review will focus on the re-release of the second and last album of Fate with Hank in the line-up, "A Matter of Attitude".

This was originally released in 1986, and by judging of the sound, I would have guessed that they would hail from the States, the music is so much American eighties Hard Rock, the old kind of Hard Rock I'm so fond of.
Not only the music, the whole culture was interesting. But now was Fate from Denmark, not USA.

But now it's not the eighties in general that's on "trial" here, it's this particular album, an album that introduced Fate's first permanent keyboarder, and he is doing much, actually his playing, together with Jeff "Lox" Limbo's voice is the main reasons why I even mentioned the States.

The music is as mention very keyboard driven, but there are also much guitars, and usually it's one of them that drives the whole package, but here they're working together.
The production is a little lame, but that's just good, it creates that special feeling that the band from USA had during this time, but still, they were Danish.

Already from the very first song, "I Won't Stop" we'll hear how this album is going to song; it's a good opener, that really tells a lot of the album in general.
But there are two important exceptions; as usual when an old album is re-released, there are some bonus tracks; "A Matter of Attitude" is no exception.
Here we're getting two new songs, no live tracks or demo versions, just two completely new songs.
"Hardcore Romance" and "Memories of You", and the first one are, believe it or not, the best this album has to offer, the chorus is excellent.
They are both very different from the others, the sound is much better, and it sounds like it's recorded years after, the eighties-feeling is not present, it more sounds like modern Hard Rock/Melodic Metal songs, but still, "Hardcore Romance" is the best.

So if you're into the eighties and want something new, but still old, check out Fate's "A Matter of Attitude" it's a very good record, and it surprised me the first time I listened to it, and it might even surprise you.

If you never head this band this collection is the perfect start. It can easily be called the best collection of a rock artist ever. The compilation truly features the best tracks from three albums involving legendary singer Jeff Scott Soto. However, other musicians are just as good. You get amazing guitar passages and solos from guitarist Neal Grusky and charming keyboard works of Eric Ragno on tracks like "Take You Down", "Blind In Paradise" and "Say U'll Stay". Due to the fact that the compilation came out when it was very hard to get Takara albums anywhere it included a special present for fans in the form of two rare acoustic tracks "Restless Heart" and "Your Love" that originally came out only on the American release of "Taste Of Heaven". It's just a wonder that the L.A. scene stone dead in the 1990s managed to give the birth to this outstanding band that overcomes most of European melodic hard rock bands. The album can be recommended to all the people wishing to get an idea what melodic hard rock music is all about. But die-hard fans better keep their hands off the album - it features nothing special after the re-issue of all studio albums
