After a hand full of demonstrational releases, Finland’s ‘Old School Death Metal Bulldozer’ Shrapnel Storm finally come up with their debut album, peacefully called Mother War. The quintet joined forces with the German (Thrash) Metal label Witches Brew to have this stuff released. It consists of ten new and older ‘songs’, clocking thirty eight minutes in its totality.
Mother War brings nothing new / renewing at all. Damn, this sounds like a depressing introduction…
“Burning bridges in a world of death” is the combination of two EP4 and a demo of the Dutch band Chain of Dogs. Folk and Metal, as if slayer got into a fight with Flogging Molly the band info says….. A mediocre folkmetal band at best I what I say…. I am sure this band will do well amidst their closed relatives and drinking buddies (even if only for the Dutch dialect used on some of their songs) but on an international level they simply fall short.
Anthology sort of means career overview, in the case of Florida”s power metal band “ SEASON’S OF THE WOLF“ it’s a rather a rerelease of two albums only available on tape when originally released end of the eighties early nineties… The band info sheet that comes with this double cd, mentions that SOTW has influences from such eighties class acts like “METAL CHURCH” and “SAVATAGE”..
