AMON AMARTH: "Fate of Norns" (2004)


Fate of Norns is the fifth full-length studio album by the Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. It was released on September 6, 2004 through Metal Blade Records. This album continued their slower, heavier sound which started on the previous album Versus the World. Before Fate of Norns was officially released by Metal Blade, promo copies were distributed with CD-ROM extras including pictures, biographies, sheets and logos. The album was released in conventional LP format as well as a limited digipak edition. The latter includes a live bonus DVD, Amon Amarth Live at Grand Rokk, which features live recordings and three-camera footage of a live performance in Reykjavík, Iceland on March 5, 2004. "The Pursuit of Vikings" was also made into a music video.

OBITUARY- World Demise 1998

World Demise is a 1994 album by American death metal band Obituary. It also had the bands first video/hit in 'Don't Care'.

Black Funeral - Ordog

Black Funeral is an American black metal band, or "Grim Medieval Vampiric Black Metal" as the band call it. Despite not being too influential (that I know of), it's one of the pioneers within "USBM". Michael Ford, who is the man behind the band, has been practicing Luciferianism/occultism for many years and written several books on the subject. Black Funeral has always had a poor recording, raw sound, but on this album it's taken yet one more step, as there are a lot of industrial/noise elements here, making this album something very few people would appreciate unless they're into noise and/or really, really raw and grim music. It might take some time for some people to get used to this album's sounds, but in my opinion it's definitely worth it. It is without doubt one of the darkest, most original and straight-forward Evil sounding releases that's been made.

Dark Tranquillity - We Are The Void (2010)

We Are the Void is the ninth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity.

Regarding the musical direction of the band's new material, the band previously said,

“ It's a bit too early to delve into details, but the material feels diverse and fresh and covers all the facets of the Dark Tranquillity sound. Those who are familiar with our songwriting process know that we always keep re-arranging and experimenting with the material until the recording starts, and while we currently have the basic foundations for around 10 songs, many things are still open. The final result is likely to surprise ourselves as well as you people."

CIRCLE II CIRCLE: Watching in Silence

You could say Circle II Circle starts where Savatage leaves off, but in its own way has created its own identity as well as quite a devoted fan base. I bought the album because of Zak Stevens' amazing vocal talents, and the fact that most of the songs are co-written by Jon Oliva/Chris Caffery of Savatage fame, without ever having heard a single song on it. This album was released around the same time as Metallica's St. Anger, which I had high hopes for, but quite surprisingly, a new band still finding its walking legs has beaten out a mainstay giant like Metallica for my most favorite album of the year. "Watching In Silence" is a refreshing dive into musical integrity with brilliantly written songs that include a broad variety of guitar,keyboard, and vocal arrangements. From the classic headbanging rocker rhythms to the more semi-balladesque, this album has it all. It is quite easily an album that you can put on endless repeat and listen to over and over again. If this album is any indication of the future, then Circle II Circle will definitely have a successful journey ahead of them. I can only imagine what the next album is going to sound like since it's hard to top perfection. But one thing for sure, the boys of C2C are definitely going to turn some heads and make people take notice. See you on MTV!

Humanimal - Humanimal

Jeff Scott Soto is undeniably one of the best voices in Hard Rock / Heavy Metal. Soto’s vocals can be found in several great albums of Talisman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Axel Rudi Pell, tributes (Randy Rhodes, Aerosmith etc.), soundtracks (Rock Star, The Queen Of The Damned etc.) and many more (it’s hard to keep track to every move a workaholic like him does). When I heard that his new project, Humanimal would be in the vain of Talisman, I got so exited that I could hardly wait for this release!

Humanimal also features the Swedish guitar master Pontus Norgren, ex-Malmsteen bassist Marcel Jacob and drummer Tomas Broman of Great King Rat fame.

"R U 4 Real" is the opening track and the best way to introduce Humanimal’s style: fast guitars, heavy vocals, and great rhythm. "Again 2 B Found", my favorite, follows with a killer chorus, screaming guitars and an amazingly strong bass playing that makes my heart beat the same way. The Hard Rock hurricane continues with the "License 2 Kill" with vocals moving on various harmony trails, great energy and a fast guitar solo filled with such emotion that Mr. Y. M. would have really been jealous of.

"Find My Way Home" moves in slower paths (just slower, not slow) than the previous songs (My respects to the rhythm section once again!). "Feel The Burn" rocks hard once again. In "Road 2 4giveness" Jeff Scott Soto shows all his greatness, I really can’t believe what my humble ears listen to! Melodic "I" follows and justifies all those who believe that Hard Rock is still alive and kicking. I’m not easily impressed by guitar playing but Mr. Pontus Norgren won my heart!

"Turn Away" has a moody funky sound with great harmonies. "Who Do U Think U R" follows with it’s catchy chorus, clever lyrics and sensual rhythm. The album ends with the rocker "Way 2 Deep". Wait a minute! Is this the end? So soon? No ballads? No filler songs? Hell no! Just 100% energy! review

Mnemic - Sons of the System (2010)

Sons of the System is the fourth album by Danish metal band Mnemic. It will be released in Europe on January 15, 2010 and in North America on January 26, 2010.

The album was recorded in the bands own studio, with producer Tue Madsen (who worked with the band on previous releases Mechanical Spin Phenomena and The Audio Injected Soul). The band describes the album as "very eclectic, very diverse, and nothing that you would imagine coming from a band like us. Let's just say it has become more theatrical, more electronic, and just more catchy, as we have put all our focus on writing good songs and not being afraid of experimenting."
