3- Simple D´Egout Part II

4- Colere Violence

5- Gruyere

6- Spiderman

I expected more of a heavy metal band here but I was completely wrong because 1984 is pure heall unleahsed in its most brutal form. Starting with crushing riff in "Manifeste" the band soon goes into a more mayhemic part with screaming vocals that go beyond the metal core music and straight into the most brutal death metal. The good thing is that the band uses fast parts but also more mid paced ones with utter heaviness where the drummer shows his skills with double bass. The vocals are really extreme with this guy screaming at the top of his lungs and it seems that he is going to fall dead immediately because of the effort he is doing. The sound of the recording is raw but powerful as this band must have in order to transmit all their brutality. Pure bestiality coming directly from France

7-Feel

8-Who Am I?

9-Speak My Sanity

10-The Drift

This is with no doubt aggressive metal. You know it from the start because of the huge guitar riffs that deliver rhytyhmic and powerful guitar riffs. then comes a voice that is really energetic, in the middle way of Anthrax´s John Bush and some of the most powerful grunge giving a copmpletely different feeling to the music adding melodies but without loosing any of the power that the band has. The music here is trully memorable due to the killer riffs combined with vocal harmonies that stick in your mind really soon. The rhythms are fast and furious and the rhythm section is really solid with that modern metal feeling where the rhythms are syncopated and leave a lot of space for the guitars and the vocals. I have to remark the  killer sound that this recording has, specially in the really well mixed guitars and in the vocals that sounds crystal clear and right in your face. This is emtal for the 21st century !!!!

13-Just Another Victim

Some bass and drums open up "The Obituary of Happiness". Then comes the rest of this pòwerful aggressive machinery called Adjudgement. The music here is pure agonic aggression full of huge guitar riffs and extreme screaming vocals. There is a certain hardcore feeling in some of the rhythms and riffs but the band is much more than only one style. they have some thrash metal influence in some of their guitar riffs but with the really modern guitar sound that this band has the result is an aggressive extreme metal band with killer compositions. The drumming here uses a lot of cymbals in olrder to add even more aggression to the music, and the bass has a clean sound taht contrast with the huge distortion of the guitars (and at the same time gives a more definite sound to the rhythm section). The album is really well mixed with clear sound and making the guitars sound huge. The thirteen songs here are pure aggression and if played at a loud volume they will definitely blow you away.

Tracks:

1- Gedankenwege des Hasses

2-Aeon of Fear

3-Frozen Eyes

4-Dream

5-Mein Zerschmettertes Herz

6-Lust in Shadows of Light

7-Geisteskinder

I did not expect all this brutality !!! Just listen "Gedankenwege..." and you will be blown away by the balck metal intensity of Aeon of Fear. The thing that makes this band different from most of the bands of tyhe style is their sound that is really more brutal with huge guitars (while other bands used less loud guitars) combined with the amazing keyboards played by Susan that add a dark feeling but don´t substtact energy to the rest of the band. Agonic vocals are essential here to achieve the right black metal feeling and they are of the shrieking type that turn your mind into dark ashes with their unholiness. There are some riffs that have more of a thrash metal influence but played with more aggression and brutality fitting perfectly the balck metal feeling. as I said before, here is very important the sound that the band has and the mix is really loud here emphasizing the bestiality of the band. Pure darkness revealed to humanity but with more brutality than most of the bands in the style !!

Tracks:

2-Suicide Note

3-Claustrophobia

4-Alcathrash

5-Devour Me

6-In Your Name

Pure eighties thrash metal !!!! Airhead is a band that keeps their music faithful to trhe music that bands like Exodus or Death Angel have created in the middle eighties. Here we have really fast riffs and classic thrashy rhythms played in a really solid way where the main element is speed and technique. The vocals are raw and reminded me a little bit to early Death Angel. there are climatic moments generated by the guitars in tracks like "Under Attack" where the guitar plays a short melody before the rest of the band counterattacks with all their fury. The rhythm section is solid and manages the style perfectly showing that they can play really well this compositions that are sometimes truly complicated in somee of the breaks and drums passages. the sound is raw and brings to my mind the late eigthies sound but with more modern guitars. Thrash is back in its original format thanks to bands like Airhead !!

"The Fabrication of Gold", a dark atmospheric intro, opens this release before the raw guitars enter creating compositions that take elements from death metal and black metal doing an intelligent fusion of both styles. Here you have a release that is at the same time crushing and atmospheric, combining really heavy and raw guitars with passages full of darkness. Paul English´s vocals are really extreme fitting really well the huge riffs that Mike Krutsinger delivers in tracks like "The Forest´s Silhouette". Growls and screams take you to a different world full of darkness and cold passages. The drumming is direct leaving more space for the guitars and the vocals that are essential here to create the Alchemy feeling that this musiucians want. The combination of aggression and climatic moments, even using repetitive ideas, is a signature sound here. The recording has a raw sound that lets you feel all the power that this band can generate.

7- Zarb I?

8-Ungaresca

9-Dark Days

10-V-nerf

Ambryo is pure madness from the first seconds of "Save Me" up to the end of this recording. The band has influences of both the most extreme hardcore and pure death metal. If you like fast crushing guitar riffs then Ambryo will satisfy your needs with their speed and aggression. The vocals are really deathly of the most anguished type and they interact in tracks like "Mal / Heureux?" with a clean voice that adds a more climatic (sort of new metalish) feeling to the music. Some vocals are in french adding an original feeling to the music, because the language sounds completely different from english. the guitars play fast and rhythmic riffs and sometimes also some more hardcore and furious rhythms that are the trademark of the band.  The sound of the band is trully modern adding to their classical influences a modern guitar sound and also original vocals that go beyond all styles. THe recording has a realy good sound, specially on the guitars that sound really crushing and fat. An original yet violent release.

9-Sweet Leaf

This is not a new album by Ancient but a collection of hard to find releases such as the "Trolltaar" MCD and the "Det Glemte Ricket" EP with some bonus tracks when Aphazel was only with Grimm on vocals and drums. this is pure norwegian black metal in its best format with all the elements that made this style almost a myth. Here we have agonic vocals mixed with viking-type epic voice in the vein of Ved Buens Ende and bands of that style and we have the more climatic elements developed by Aphazel´s guitars and keyboards. And we have Grimm destroying his drum kit with primitive and fast rhythms. There is a cover of Black Sabbath´s "Sweet Leaf" that adds the final touch to this collecible rerelease. the sound of the recording is raw as it was used in that era of primal black metal. A must have for black metal lovers.

Androvirus is pure experimentation with sounds and noises through seven intense compositions. Androvirus explores different sounds and also some rhythms, such as in "Rumour" always searching for new combinations to develope their ideas. Mechanical sounds interact heavily creating complex atmospheres that surprise with originality and with innovation. I have to remark that three of the tracks here are really long and you will not bore yourself because there is a constant change of atmosphere in the tunes so you will keep your attention to see what si coming next. pure experimentation in a weird solo project.

9-Shiva...God of Destruction

10-La Malediction Finale

"The Arrival" is a long dark intro with deep and extreme voices that opens this bestial black metal album. the music of the band is really raw and extremely fast with devastating guitar riffs and bestial drumming. If you listen the tracks here you will be blown away by blast beats played with a lot of precission and with fast accelerated thrash balck emtal patterns that this guys play with total accuracy. The riffs are raw and fast. the vocals are really black metal but with more aggression than most of the bands of the style, adding a certain death metal tonality to the voice. What I really liked a lot here is the good sound that the recording has, distinguishing of other bands of nthe style that prefer a poorer sound. And that good sound gives even more aggression to the band´s music. Pure black metal the way it must be done: with blasphemy and pure aggressive power.

6-Seductive Flame

7-Serpents Dance

8-The Passage

9-The Nemesis

We have reviewed previously some Arcana release and this is their sixth album. Peter Bjärgö is the main composer here and the music here can be called something like gothic or medieval soundscapes. Yes, this are atmospheric compositions that have a definite ancient sound that includes dark keyboards and some gregorian like voices doing passages that sound extremely dark but at the same time have strong feelings. There is also a lot of climatic instrumentation but the most characteristic has typical isntruments that couls be found in the dark ages music. The percussion in the track "Le Serpent Rouge" is almost tribal and transport you to the times of the end of the roman empire and into the medieval times. If you close your eyes you can easily transport yourself with Arcana´s music. plus, there is a lot of good compositional skills and good musicianship that allows this musicians to create this amazing soundscapes. One of my absolute favorite bands of this style !!

11-Lamento Funebre

12- Punti Invisibili

THis is pure melody done with incredible musicianship and also with a lot of strength. This band has definitely a folk feeling in their music and they are really rocking. I liked a lot the combination of male and female vocals here that is a trademark of Argine´s music. There is heavy use of violin lines which are essential to achieve the exact feeling of the music here. There are acoustic guitars all over this album and they contribute a lot to create the atmosphere that this type of music must have. If I had to define the music hewre with a couple of words I would say "beauty" and "climatic" because Argine music has this two elements being extremely beautiful and at the same time climatic and kind of mysterious, specially in  tracks like "I Nostri Occhi". "Girotondo" is pure aggression with distorted guitars showing that all the tracks here are different one from the other. A must have for any lovers of clever compositions and melodies with power..

Tracks:

1- Swallow

2-ascaris

3-Gripes

4-Cover All

5-Fear of Tomorrow

6-La Cat

7-A Force

8-Al azif

Ascaris is a good mix of pure death metal and brutal death metal with some hardcore elements in the msot rhythmic parts. They start climatically in the beginning of "Swallow" before they unleash all their brutality. Let´s say that the band is 80% death metal and 20% hardcore, because the sound is completely deathly, specially some of the vocals that are really guttural. the good thing is that despite being extremely brutal the band adds some climatic elements in the middle of their compositions that gives a different atmosphere to their music and at the same time adds originality. The riffs are fast and furious and interact heavily with the rhythm section that sounds aggressive and solid. As I said before the band has guttural vocals but they also have a screaming one that adds a different feeling to the music, being deathly but more agonic. the sound of the recording is loud and direct making the music even more aggressive than with a more polished sound. A brutal and aggressive release !

This is the comeback of an eighties thrash metal legend !!!Assassin is one of those bands that left their mark in the mid eighties setting the path for other bands of the style, specially of the most extreme thrash metal. And here they are back with original member Michael Hoffmann also played in Sodom and original singer Robert Gonnella to deliver eleven original tunes. Plus, here there is a version of Thin Lizzy´s "Thunder and Lightning" that is a welcome addition to the band´s set. the music is pure eighties thrash but with some more modern sound than in the band´s previous releases. Gonnella´s vocals are as powerful and original as always being of the most extreme thrash vocalists of that era, screaming at the top of his lungs most of the time. The rhythms are really eighties thrash but they have been actualized in order to not sound outdated. This is a killer come back from a band that was one of the legends in german thrash metal !!

11- Temps Fumé

I have listened Ataraxia many times before and saw them live and I know what they are capable of doing: killer ethereal melodies, amazing guitar arrangements delivered by Vittorio Vandelli, climatic moments. And I specially love Francesca´s voice full of feeling and melody and with an amazing technique that allows here to deliver incredible lines. Besides she has a really particular voice that is deep and low in some parts being the heart and soul of many of the compositions. Each one of the track is full of atmospheres and you can feel the melancholy dripping on each minute. And the combination of beauty and melancholy is one of the trademarks of this killeritalian band

Autunna et sa Rose amazed me because I have never heard their music before. Opening with Simone Montanari´s cello in "L´Art et la Mort" this band shows that their music is one of the more climatic experiences ever. And there is heavy experimentation here too with melancholic sounds and melodies. The piano is essential in tracks like "Caresses Aux Coeurs", a composition that can even make you weep with all the sadness. Sonia Visentin is an amazing soprano with vocal lines full of incredible feeling besides amazing technical skills. Her voice is full of beauty and is essential for Autunna et Sa Rose. A wonderful album.

A split CD full of beauty, good musicianship and extremely melancholic and introspective moments.

8-Dirty Link

9-Breaking Down

10-Audio Crash

Audiowar is a truly original band in the industrial / ambient vein. their music despite being of this style is really aggressive because of the sudden bursts of sounds in tracks like "Negativity". Here we have also some more accesible tracks such as "One Drug" that ahs a rhythm close to dancing beats but with a distorted background that makes the tune really dense and heavy. The industrial sounds are the main thing here creating atmospheres that seem to come from an apocalyptic world full of machinery. The music is original and there is a constant search for new sounds through heavy experimentation but without leaving the aggression behind. A release that surprises with the atmospheres and with the heavy interaction of sounds, samplers and noises.

10- Breaking the Law (Judas Priest cover)

The good thing about this band from Mexico is that they combine succesfully all the brutality that is possible with good musicianship thatt is evident from the starting with "Metal Legions". The band is pure death metal with some thrash metal influences in the guitar riffs and on some rhythms. And this guys know how to combine the most brutal music with some more climatic moments created by the guitars that in some places do melodies and in others do some riffs that would not be out of place in a power metal band. There are good solos that are another sample of the good musicianship of this guys being fast and original and being like an idea within the main idea of the songs. the vocals are really extreme, in the death metal style but with a certain thrash feeling in them. The sound of the recording is good and it has nothing to envy to some of the main bands of the style. Pure aggression created with good technical skills and musicianship.

6-In nomine Balaam

7-Fuck you...Jesus Christ

8-Perversion of Whore

9-Infernal Decline

10-Requiem of Melancholy (outro)

A long dark introduction creates the perfect atmosphere for Balaam to unleash their extreme unholy black metal. This is really savage and raw black metal with ultra fast blast beats and agonic screams that turn everything to darkness. The compositions are really effective and violent unleahsing all the darkness that Balaam is capable of releasing. There are good rhythmic riffs combined with the fastest ones that are notes runs in the classic black metal way interacting with the mayhemic drumming that is another of the essential elements here. The band sounds really tight, specially in some breaks taht need of good technical skills to be played as tight as this band does. The sound is raw and brings to my mind classic early nineties black metal but with a more modern mix. This is pure unholy black metal of the msot balsphemic kind.

The first thing that will got your attention is the CD envelope, made of some strange plastic material full of colours. Then comes the music of the band that is heavy rock / metal with crushing guitars and with an extreme and original vocalist. the guitar riffs are trully rhythmic and with a modern metal feeling and sound that makes the songs really powerful and designed for the mosh pit. The vocals are really maniac in some parts and in others are more melodic reminding me a little bit to Mike Patton. The rhythm sectioon plays a fundamental role here creating the structure over which the guitar riffs are played (there is really tightness between the guitars and the rhythm section here). The sound of the recording is really good with a mix that lets you listen perfecly all the isntruments and feel the power that drips from the guitars. An original release with modern sound.

The five songs here are aggressive and the band shows that they are solid and really well rehearsed here. the songs are memorable, mostly due to the good work of the vocalist that creates catchy lines that soon stick in your mind.

I am really amazed by this musicians that are constantly exploring new sounds with their instruments yet retaining a "group spirit" that allows them to interact in a really amazing way. the compositions here have melodies but also have background sounds and some noises and percussive sounds that surprises the listener constantly. One good thing is that the booklet comes with full explanations about intuitive music, with web links to sites where there are explanations of this type of music, so the booklet is really instructional for people that would like to know more about Intuitive music. I recommend this to all people interested in boundaries breaker music.

Music by Benevolence

Lyrics by Benevolence

Tracks:

1- The Suicide Pillars

2-Never Stop Screaming

3-Reduced to Nothing

Crushing death metal from the first second to the last of this three devastating tracks. You can not have a voice that is more guttural than the one in Benevolence, reminding me in some parts to the almighty Autopsy. This band is fast but the emphasis is on heaviness because here you have some more mid paced rhythms that are the ones that unleash the more brutality. But we have also here some blast beats in the vein of the most brutal death metal band. The guitar riffs are devastating and the downtuned guitars sound like a crushing atom bomb that turns your brain into ashes with their intensity. the sound of the recording is raw but loud emphasizing the guitar parts and the rhythms and letting you feel all the brutality of Benevolence. Bestial death metal that blows you away and leaves you wanting more compositions from this band

9-Craving the Touch

10-Hold your Breath and Close your Eyes

there are times when the name of the band fits perfectly the music that they do. Beyond Sensory Experience is one of this cases, because their music goes beyond all senses and lets your imagination fly with the different moods that they have created here. Atmospheres are the main thing here, from the opening with "Pursuit of Pleasure", a dark depressive tunes with slow piano phrases up to the climatic, more orchestral "Affection / Devotion". Every composition here is atmospheric and dark with a strong sadness and despair element. There are some voices here and there, always spoken giving an even more sad feeling to the music. The ambient music delivered here is really of killer quality as most of the Cold Meat Industry catalog is. There is plenty of experimentation here using samples and infinite types of sounds always surprising with good musisicianship and imagination.
