It’s a bit of a slow week due to the holiday, so there’s only three new things to review this week…
Eidolon
The Parallel Otherworld
InsideOut
68:01 - 10 Tracks
Of course you may know this bad as the band that the new guys in Megadeth are from. They are a quality power metal band. There’s some crazy guitar playing on here. The vocals are a bit like Judas Priest. A good solid release, and as I am not a thesaurus, I’ll just say the same thing I say about a lot of stuff… nothing really groundbreaking here. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Celtic Frost
Monotheist
Century Media
68:22 - 11 Tracks
I have to be honest… I don’t know much about Celtic Frost, just that they are metal pioneers, and I started to get into metal after their heyday. So, they have a new album. It’s pretty good. It does sound “classic” and that’s what I would expect from a band that’s been around as long as these guys. Why change, right? It stays heavy, raw and in your face and doomy as well. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Skinless
Trample The Weak, Hurdle The Dead
Relapse
36:42 - 8 Tracks
Brutal death metal! I’ve liked Skinless since seeing them at Milwaukee Metalfest a few years ago. The thing I did like about them, was the singer wasn’t just a cookie monster guy that would just stand there and growl, he was more like a hardcore kinda guy. Well, he is not in the band, but the music is still brutal and that’s what’s important. The new vocals sound just fine too. The production is a little raw, but it doesn’t take away from anything. It’s good solid brutal death metal! You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
