Two years and a half after the cool debut Face The Evil, Flemish act Bliksem (which is Dutch for lightning) return with their second full length album, Gruesome Masterpiece, released via the alternative and independent German label Iron Will. The stuff lasts for fifty two minutes and was produced and mixed by Martin Furia.
The American band Solace Of Requiem aren’t a traditional band, nor easily comparable to one or another sub-genre whatsoever. In 2004 they released their self-called debut album, which brought very dense and old schooled Doom-Death Metal. The second one, Utopia Reborn (2006), was quite different, for adding somewhat classic Death Metal with lots of progressive elements. Then the band underwent some internal struggles, so it took quite some time before they were able to return with another album.
