Stockholm-based outfit Circle Of Chaos return with their second full length, after 2010’s self-released Black Oblivion. The band also released the mini-album Twoheaded Serpent in 2012, by the way, and last year the band was joined by former Necrophobic-member Anders Strokirk on guitar, for your information.

And straight after the new Circle album Sseennsseess, or rather, at the same day, we get a re-issue of the band's Hollywood album, originally released on CD in 2008, now put out on double LP with bonus tracks.
Well, well...a new album by Finland's Circle, but one with the original outfit...nót the members from various Finish Metal acts which last year recorded and released the Incarnation album, a review for which was posted by yours truly.
For more than twenty years, Acheron sicken our globe with their own aural vision on humanity and religion, and it isn’t a pretty view. Though, from that aural point of view, I need to say it can be very pretty. It is a band I learned to appreciate throughout the years. I wasn’t quite enthusiastic during the earliest years (even though I think the debut Rites Of The Black Mass is top!), but I am not sure if it was Vincent Crowley and his horde that stylistically changed, or if it was me who ‘grew’ into Acheron’s musical efforts.
Well, there you have it...I mean, when you start a review talking about the diversity of a certain record label (in casu : Victory Records), you'll find they provide you with the handy proof to make your point! Because as mentioned in my review of the most recent Close Your Eyes album, this label deals with out-of-the-ordinary type of bands, and the same sure counts for this “MetalCore” act from sunny South Florida (home base Hialeah).

It wasn’t quite the case during the early years of this band, but since about a decade, I find it quite an exciting experience to listen to new material by German act Eisregen. I couldn’t really enjoy the first albums they did, but as from half of the 2000’s, they do draw my attention, for the material became much more interesting. The band comes close, in mean time, to its twentieth anniversary, and with Todestage, they deliver their tenth album.
Having come across this Swedish Post Metal act at a relatively early stage in their career (namely at the occasion of their second album, 2003's The Beyond, which I reviewed at the time), I have been able to witness this band's progression (after having reviewed the band's 5th album Somewhere Along The Highway, posted 22/04/2006 and still available for your scrutiny in this site's “Archive” section, I even went out to buy the band's compete back catalog, and later even got 2008's Eternal Kingdom, even though we at Concrete Web
