First impression. Crazy, sick, fast, awesome grind! From Warsaw, Poland, these guys are technical, fast, and aggressive. Blast beats, driving guitars, crazy riffing, guttural vocals, yet still catchy! This is cool stuff, you’ll hear it on the Mosh Pit!

HELLYEAH
HELLYEAH
Epic Records
43:50 - 12 Tracks
We’ve had a single, and EP and so far it’s been pretty cool. It’s good old straight forward hard rock/metal. It’s Vinnie’s newest project since, well, you know when. Teaming up with guys from Nothingface and Mudvayne. And actually, if you could picture mixing those two bands with some sick heavy drumming, you got HELLYEAH. There aren’t any real surprises here, although Vinnie does tear the drums up more than I’ve heard in a long time. It’s good stuff, and as with anything Vinnie Paul puts out, it deserves the respect of some airplay… You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Panthers
The Trick
Vice Records
32:25 - 10 Tracks
“Heavy Power Rock” It’s kind of Queens of the Stone Age, a bit Clutch, as any stoneresque band will be compared to, and it’s kind of raw, not too heavy, just you know, kind of there. It’s not too bad, not awesome, you may hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Sanctity
Road To Bloodshed
Roadrunner Records
45:27 - 12 Tracks
This was described to me as Trivium music/guitars with vocals that sound like Testament. So I put the CD in, and guess what? Yup, that’s exactly what it is! It’s good, catchy, and this formula works pretty good. It comes off a bit heavier than Trivium just because of the “heavier” vocals. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit

Static-X
Cannibal
Reprise Records
This is more like the older Static X.  More raw, more heavy, more, I dunno, StaticXey!?  It seems to have some catchy guitar stuff, back to their roots, most like Wisconsin Death Trip.  It’s good stuff, you’ll probably hear it on the Mosh Pit!

ZO2
Ain’t It Beautiful
Spliveycool Entertaiment
51:58 - 11 Tracks
This features one of the guys that toured with Trans Siberian Orchestra, pretty straightforward hard rock. Some pretty catchy tunes on here. You may hear this on the Mosh Pit!
