This riff-oriented Modern Hard Rock (they add Thrash Metal elements to their Hard Rock based music) act from the town of Heilbronn (Baden-Württemberg) in Germany, was founded in 2006 by a foursome of friends sharing a same passion for hard rockin' music.
The scene from Cyprus isn’t that impressive when it comes to the number of bands out there. With exception of Arrayan Path, I can’t remember having written a review (for Concreteweb) for a band or project from that Mediterranean island. Enter Vomitile, formed in 2007, and creators of two pieces before: the nameless 2010-7”EP and Igniting Chaos, their debut album from last year.
Spanish act Retribution return with their second full length, about seven years after the debut (FYI: there was an EP as well in mean time). With this record, Retribution go on in the vein of the former material, but it sound much more refined and professional for sure. On Corpus Antichristi Y3K, the line-up, by the way, is: Noos (lead guitars), L.
Stonecast are: Franck “Kanon” Ghirardi (vocals), Seb “Cazu” Casula (rhythm guitars), Bob “Flying” Saliba (lead guitars), Lionel “Beev” Antonorsi (bass) and Kenny Earl “Rhino” ex-drummer Manowar.

Article is a Greek band formed in 2002 by Mike Dimareli as an instrumental neo-classical metal project. But with their third album ‘Illusion X’ they have transformed into a vocal power metal band with the legendary Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring of Fire, Royal Hunt) on vocals.
