Evoken - Quietus

Absolutely a respectable effort.... |

This release is Evoken's third and I have nothing else by the band to compare its lethality to, but _Quietus_ certainly captured my attention. Excruciatingly melancholy and dismal, "Embrace the Emptiness", track six, is wonderfully discouraging. The release is nearly gothic in its heaviness. I would have to say that song would totally embrace all I have come to appreciate from this group. If any day you feel like you could just run your car off a cliff, don't spin this disc; you don't need Evoken in the vehicle behind you honking the fuckin' horn! Absolutely a respectable effort.

"Redemption Process" is a success, it's hard to find something wrong in this album and really the Frenchies show us that they are surpassing the masters. If you like such music, if you don't know Anorexia Nervosa and if you want to find a great band, you know what you have to do now…. This album is a great album and I recommend it to all of you… Hail Anorexia Nervosa !!!

I was not disappointed after the album came to a close. In fact, I replayed the entire thing, still in a daze at what my ears where being assaulted with! Hyper speed, plenty of agression, huge orchestrations and Keys, fat guitars, one of the most raw voices in black metal ive ever heard are all being thrown at you in one of the most intense releases [in my opinion] in black metal to date.

Raventale - Mortal Aspirations

Black/Doom Metal |

Raventale has truly made an album that I can see as one day being considered a doom metal classic. This band takes the classic doom sound and infuses it with driving metal riffs and dissonant death/black metal vocals to make a very epic album from start to finish. Even after only hearing this album from this band I can easily say that I would consider them to be one of my top ten all time favorite doom bands. This album is simply perfect and if your a doom fan and are reading this I highly suggest you check this album out. Now if your looking to slow and brooding doom/death metal then you may not dig this as much because this album is more on the melodic side with melodies that flow smoothly. Overall this is a fantastic album from a band on the rise and I would recommend you going and giving this one a chance.

Legenda [FIN] - Eclipse

This second Legenda release is a successful attempt at perfecting the style of music found on their debut _Autumnal_, which is achieved essentially through the inclusion of three fast-paced songs that add more variety (_Autumnal_ was rather excessively uniform) and the improvement of their musical choices. The sound is very similar (recorded at Tico Tico again), and fortunately Luttinen hasn't forsaken his raspy vocals.
The music is still mostly mid-paced, sometimes doomy, and strongly based on keyboards.

Debut album by an American Band – a project of Mark Anderson from the legendary heavy rock band Manila Road. The music can be described as a combination of death/black and death/doom and is full of heavy riffs From time to time the riffs, the solo’s and the vocals approach the classic work of Tiamat “Clouds”. Excellent recording quality and superior musician craft make this album different from many others.

Kraanium - Ten Acts Of Sickening Perversity
|
Kraanium - Info: |
|
Kraanium started back around 2000 but then we played a more punkish style of deathmetal/goregrind, alot simpler stuff, and not that slam influenced. It was more just a fun project, and we made a crappy demo but got alot of good interest in it still.
Then the band broke up, cos we had other bands that we wanted to spend time on instead. But then again a couple of years later our friend and big fan Jonas (our old drummer) asked about starting up Kraanium again and doing drums so we gave it a try and the band was reborn again in 2006.
But we had gotten big fans of the slam style of brutal music, so we wanted to make something a bit more complicated and groovy than the old stuff.
In 2008, Kraanium got a label: Pathologically Explicit Records.
Pathologically Explicit Records, wanted us on theryr label, we got contract for a CD.
Influences:
Devourment, Abominable putridity, Guttural engorgment, Waking the Cadaver,Condemned, Cephalotripsy Dying Fetus.
We’re five guys, that have different backgrounds, in style of music, but we have one thing in common, Brutal slam.
Kraanium is:
Martin - Vocals
Vidar - Guitar
Ian - Bass
Mats - Guitar/vocals
Hannes – Drums
CD releases:
“Promo” - (2007) - label: Kraanium
Ten Acts of Sickening Perversity (2008) - label: Pathologically Explicit Records
The Art of Female Sodomy (2009) - label: Pathologically Explicit Records
Goresoaked slamassacre - 3 way split cd (2010) - label: Pathologically Explicit Records

Nile - Those Whom The Gods Detest
|
I like the a couple of tracks; very disappointed on the whole album... |
|
Nile has done it again; the've produced a couple of epic songs; yet, their general attitude is negative to non-existente! I wanna share the view that this album has a lot to be desired and really does not live to expectations. In the technical world, Nile had a guitar fart and I understand their shortcomming!
