"My Last Suicide" performed their song
"Personality Disorder" at Club AG in Sarajevo on March 15, 2024. The
video for the performance was shot and edited by Vladimir Sajic. The band,
originating from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was formed in March 2009.
Initially, they explored various musical ideas before settling into their
definitive style of melodic death metal after about a year.
The current lineup includes Dragan Golubovic (vocals),
Aleksandar Stjepanovic (guitar), Stefan Mitric (guitar), Daniel Knezevic
(bass), and Aleksandar Zrnic (drums). They have a discography that includes
four demo recordings from 2010, the EP "Personality Disorder" (2011),
the single "Crucified for Nothing" (2012) with a music video, the
single "I Am God" (2015), and the album "Mission FUBAR"
(2017). Recently, they released a live video for their single "Personality
Disorder" from the corresponding EP, and they are currently working on new
material for their second full-length album.
MARTYRION, a German Melodic Death Metal band from
Cologne, has released a new single called "The Great Revelation". The
single was recorded by Jannik Baur, Felix Lüpke, and Marian Freye, with mixing
and mastering done by Milan Steinbach. The band, formed in 2006, has undergone
changes in lineup and style over the years, blending melodic death metal with other
genres. Their sound features catchy melodies, powerful solos, and atmospheric
compositions, with the current members being Marian Freye (vocals & rhythm
guitar), Felix Lüpke (lead guitar), Hendrik Franke (bass), and Tobias Parke
(drums).

Δεν
μοιάζουν με Helloween, Scanner ή Rage, το μόνο κοινό με άλλο συγκρότημα
συμπατριωτών τους θα έλεγα ότι είναι οι Angel Dust της μετά 1998 εποχής αλλά
χωρίς τα πολλά πλήκτρα και μολονότι όμως έχουν κι εδώ πλήκτρα, αυτά δεν παίζουν
τον πρωτεύοντα ρόλο στις συνθέσεις. Οι Brainstorm στο τρίτο τους άλμπουμ
ακούγονται σε σημεία περισσότερο σαν τους υπερατλαντικούς ομότεχνους τους παρά
σαν τη σχολή του ευρωπαϊκού Power Metal που ανθούσε τότε στη πατρίδα τους σε
ένα ποσό 60/40 χωρίς βέβαια να έχουν το νεύρο των Metal Church ή των Jag Panzer
(με των οποίων τον κλασικό τραγουδιστή Tyrant Conclin εδώ o Andy B. Franck δεν
κρύβεται ότι έχει μία ηχητική συγγένεια) αλλά προσθέτοντας πολλά στοιχεία
europower όσον αφορά τη μελωδικότητα του ήχου τους μεο, τί κοντινότερο είναι οι Kamelot που ως
γνωστόν, έκαναν την ίδια μίξη αλλά με αντίθετη ποσόστωση όντας Αμερικάνοι. Τα
Crush Depth, Tear Down the Walls, Beyond My Destiny, Arena, Maharaja Palace,
Lost Unseen, Perception of Life αποτελούν το καλύτερο υλικό αυτού του δίσκου,
ενός απ' τα τέσσερα κλασικά πρώτα τους έργα.

Are you sure you’re German?
They don’t sound like Helloween, Scanner, or Rage. The
only band by fellow compatriots I would say they resemble is Angel Dust from
the post-1998 era, but without the heavy use of keyboards. Although they do
have keyboards, they don’t play a primary role in the compositions. On their
third album, Brainstorm sounds at times more like their transatlantic
counterparts than like the European Power Metal scene that was flourishing in
their homeland at the time, in a 60/40 ratio. However, they certainly don’t
have the edge of Metal Church or Jag Panzer (with whom their classic vocalist
Tyrant Conklin shares a sonic resemblance, which Andy B. Franck does not hide),
while also incorporating many elements of Europower in terms of the melodic
nature of their sound. The closest comparison would be to Kamelot, who, as we
know, created a similar blend but with an opposite ratio, being Americans.
Tracks such as "Crush Depth," "Tear Down the Walls,"
"Beyond My Destiny," "Arena," "Maharaja Palace,"
"Lost Unseen," and "Perception of Life" represent the best
material on this album, one of their four classic early works.
Polish black metal band PATRIARKH, formerly known as
Batushka, has released their new single "ВЕРШАЛИН VII" (Lat. WIERSZALIN VII) ahead of their
upcoming album ПРОРОКИЛИЯ (Lat. PROROK ILJA), which is set to drop on January
3, 2025, via Napalm Records. The album features eight new tracks that explore
the story of Eliasz Klimowicz, the Prophet Ilja, blending dark atmospheres with
Eastern Orthodox traditions. "ВЕРШАЛИН VII" showcases the band's fierce sound,
combining black and death metal elements, starting with a compelling narration
and transitioning into powerful blast beats and haunting vocals. The
single is available on all streaming platforms.
The Swedish band RAGING FATE returns with their third
studio album, continuing a journey that began as a solo project and has evolved
into a fully functional band. This album exudes confidence without concern for
originality or esoteric pursuits. Instead, it delivers pure heavy/speed metal,
with clear references to the German school of the genre.
Among the nine compositions in the album, the
influences from RUNNING WILD during the "Port Royal" era stand out,
with galloping riffs and a pirate-themed narrative dominating the sound. Fans
of German metal will also recognize elements from GRAVE DIGGER and early BLIND
GUARDIAN, characterized by distinctive melodies and a robust aesthetic.
Particular mention should be made of the track “Horror Movie Mania,” where the essence of RUNNING WILD meets the energy of
ACCEPT and JUDAS PRIEST in a dynamic combination that highlights RAGING FATE's
dedication to the classic values of metal.
For those who cherish this authentic sound, the album
is a must-have. Personally, I have already placed my pre-order—this is the
sound that resonates with me.
