CHAOS REALM is a very young three piece band from Athens, Greece delivering primitive thrash metal. It reminds me of the same direction and feelings, the same as the debut demo cdr of SUICIDAL ANGELS I received back in the 00's.

Τον Ignazio Nicastro τον γνωρίζω ήδη από το άλλο συγκρότημα του τους EVERSIN. Στους EVERSIN μουσικά κινείται σε πιο μοντέρνα και σε σημεία προοδευτικά στοιχεία του thrash metal ήχου. Οι XENOS είναι το νέο του συγκρότημα όπου συνειδητά επιλέγει να κινηθεί σε πιο παραδοσιακές φόρμες του ως άνω ήχου. Μάλιστα, διαπίστωσα ότι το όνομα του καινούριου συγκροτήματός του προέρχεται από το ομώνυμο τραγούδι που βρίσκεται στο ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ των EVERSIN με τίτλο «Divina Distopia».

The music on here is quite technical, but the album itself it pure brutality. I love it! There is just no letting up on the vocals and aside from excessive growling; there are a lot of screaming on here as well. The guitars are a little hard to hear alongside the music, but still the sound quality is top notch. The drums aren't mixed in the greatest, but the brutality of the album is the highlight to this release. Definitely worth checking out if you're feeling angry and want something to quell that anger. I'm not entirely familiar with all of this band's albums, but this one I chose because it seemed to have a higher rating than other releases.

Έχει περάσει, πάνω κάτω, ένας χρόνος από τότε που παρουσίασα το ντεμπούτο του συγκροτήματος με τίτλο «Warband». Ένας δίσκος που κυκλοφόρησε από την μπάντα το 2015 και επανακυκλοφόρησε από την Γερμανική Killer Metal Records το 2018 με 2019. Ουσιαστικά, λοιπόν, η δεύτερη κυκλοφορία της μπάντας έρχεται μετά από 3 και πλέον χρόνια από την πρώτη τους δουλειά. Ένα χρονικό διάστημα ικανό να βοηθήσει το συγκρότημα να ωριμάσει και να αναπτύξει καλύτερα τις ιδέες του και την τεχνική του.

BLACK THUNDER is an honest three piece, hard n heavy band from Italy. Nice sounding, honest to their approach if you let me explain my description about this band. “All my Scars” is a pure release in its expression throughout the CD.

Η λέξη GRAVE είναι αρκετά συνηθισμένη στην ονοματοδοσία συγκροτημάτων είτε από μόνη της είτε ως μέρος πιο σύνθετου ονόματος. Οι Ιταλοί GRAVE – T  προφανώς γνωρίζοντας την κατάστασή αυτή πρόσθεσαν στο όνομα τους και το γράμμα Τ που μάλλον προέρχεται από την πόλη καταγωγής της μπάντας, το Τορίνο. Και λέω μάλλον, γιατί δυστυχώς πέραν του CD της παρούσας κυκλοφορίας το συγκρότημα δεν έχει συμπεριλάβει με αυτό κάποιο βιογραφικό σημείωμα.

I'd have to admit that I was skeptical regarding this follow-up from BLOOD RED THRONE's previous release 'Union of Flesh and Machine'. I didn't think it possible to top that one, but this one is superb. I like everything about it. The guitars, both rhythm and lead, the production, vocals and intensity. They proved very strong here, songwriting skills for them are getting even better. The music is what grapples the most. Some of the vocals are changed up from low-end to higher-pitched screams. The bulk of the album features the low-end vocals though. It fits the music perfectly. The sound quality is top notch, too. All of the songs just crush.

This is the second release after a great EP debut independent release. We are talking about a great young epic speed power metal band from Greece. A lot of congratulations to Sonic Age Records for releasing this speed power heavy metal masterpiece 9 tracks of strong, melodic, passionate, ideal heavy metal in the veins of GAMMA RAY, HELLOWEEN, RUNNING WILD, HITTMAN, HEAVEN'S GATE, MARAUDER  and many others on the Teutonic side of the traditional heavy metal sound, just to get the picture.

LEWD PREACHER (1987)

'Ένα από τα καλά κρυμμένα μυστικά του γερμανικού μέταλ στα 1980s αποτελούν οι Lewd Preacher, οι οποίοι ιδρύθηκαν το 1985 στο Μαρμπουργκ. Οι Lewd Preacher είχαν έφεση στα στα μελωδικά και πιασάρικα ρεφρεν, χωρίς να θυσιάζουν το πάθος και το heavy στοιχείο, όπως φαίνεται ιδιαίτερα σε κομμάτια όπως το Dr.Jekyll And  Mr.Hyde.

TORTURE SLAVE (1984)

TORTURE SLAVE was formed in 1984 in Berlin/Germany and recorded four demos until 1986.Unfortunately they never released an LP.The reason for this seems to be that Berlin was not- and still is not - a hotspot for Heavy Metal in Germany or Europe. The Prussian capital featured everything, from punk, hardcore, punk, rap, electro, acid, soul ,jazz, grunge to hip hop; but Heavy metal was always living in the shadows in the 80s and 90s.A lot of stuff was released that was of questionable quality, but the latest trend is nowhere as important as in Berlin. Especially in Heavy Metal the trends are never that important as in other music genres. Good songs can convince the fans better than being a trend-setter. Today, in 2020, Torture Slave can convince us with their music; this might have helped the band to survive the trends and they are higly recommended for all fans of true German 80s Metal with good melody lines and competent musicians helping the  legacy to continue living on classic metal fans' hearts

It's sad to say that the grindcore days are over. But at least NAPALM DEATH is still making music, even though it's totally different than what they began as. 'Time Waits For No Slave' is a good illustration where they're coming 2 genres, death metal and some grind. It's odd because I was so used to the Mick Harris blast beats from the 6 years that he was with the band. But Danny is an OK replacement. This album is heavy, but the tempo changes are evident and totally there, but the blasting is limited. The production quality is a little raw, but OK. I liked the whole album.  I thought that at least for death metal fans, this is a good one.

O Johnny Frankenshred ανήκει σίγουρα σε εκείνους τους ήρωες της underground metal σκηνής που ενώ είναι εξαιρετικά ταλαντούχος και ικανός, σε κάνει να απορείς γιατί δεν χαίρει μεγαλύτερης αναγνωρίσεως στον χώρο αυτόν. Σε κάθε περίπτωση με την metal μουσική ασχολείσαι γιατί την αγαπάς κι όχι για να αποκομίσεις χρήμα και φήμη. Έτσι, λοιπόν, κι ο Johnny Frankenshred συνεχίζει απτόητος να κάνει αυτό που αγαπά. Να δημιουργεί, δηλαδή, heavy metal μουσική είτε με τα συγκροτήματα που συμμετέχει όπως τους U.S. metallers COMMANDMENT  και EXILED είτε με τις προσωπικές του δουλειές που φέρουν το όνομα του.
