I’ll be on vacation and Mike will be taking over the show this week. But here are some blurbs about the new stuff in the mail this week.
Lacrimas Profundere
Again It’s Over
Napalm
20:17 - 6 Tracks
Besides having a weird name, they are kind of like that doomy Paradise Lost or Moonspell in their “lame” phase. Not to take away from these guys, just a way to describe them! They are okay, just not really heavy, as I like, but it’s good stuff. You may hear this on the Mosh Pit.
Adiago
Dominate
Locomotove
42:43 - 8 Tracks
Heavy progressive black metal, along the lines of Cradle of Filth, at least musically. Vocals are a bit similar to King Diamond in parts, but other parts, just classic power metal. It’s sometimes over the top, like Dragonforce, other parts like some good ol Dream Theater. It’s good, and you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Grave
As Rapture Comes
Century Media
41:13 - 10 Tracks
Classic brutal swedish death metal! No, not the melodic In Flames/Soilwork stuff, good ol brutal stuff. No frills, just fast, growly and brutal with plenty of blast beats. Would you expect any more or less from Grave? You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Burn In Silence
Angel Maker
Prosthetic
38:09 - 10 Tracks
A new release from Prosthetic records. It fits the bill of other bands on the label. Brutal, heavy, angry and clean sounding. Some hardcore elements, but with some power metally keyboards, some clean chorus vocals. They’ve got a nice full sound with the keyboards, then break into some crazy blast beat-double kick stuff. It’s pretty cool, you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Oh The Horror
Hands Pressed Against The Glass
Play The Assassin
41:05 - 10 Tracks
At first sound, it’s yet another emo-metal-core type band. It sounds cool and brutal one minute, then some whiney clean vocal chorus. They have some whiney guitary stuff, not real great production. The kids will like that, but no so much for the Mosh Pit.
Wolverine
Still
Candlelight
52:11 - 9 Tracks
A bit like tool, but not as cool or experimental, maybe just “trippy?” … Just more or less a plain ol rock cd here. It’s more along the lines of Opeth’s “Damnation” album. Good, but not metal! You may hear this on the Mosh Pit.
Birds of Prey
Weight Of The Wound
Relapse
35:39 - 10 Tracks
A bit hardcore, a bit just metal. Hard to describe I guess. It’s kind of classic metal, but with the metalcore/hardcore edge to it. You can definately hear some Biohazard influence! You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
