I was really surprised when I opened my mailbox and saw there was a new Volture album came my way. 2012 wasn’t a easy year for the band around Ryan Waste (Municipal Waste) and guitarplayer Nick Poulos (Cannabis Corpse). Their label had to quit due some problems, their vocalist quitted after the European tour and after that tour there where only depts left. But now on the start of the new year fresh material is ready.

“The Exploited” a Scottish punk band founded by Wattie Buchan in 1980. Made eight Studio albums. In 2003 they made the album “Fuck The System”. This album was even available in the US with a “clean version” censored with “F**** the System”. This is the album with the most F**** in the titles of their songs. The quality of this album is much better than their earlier work (The Massacre and Beat the Bastards). Better sound and well produced. And now they re-mastered this album and will be available at 14/03/2014.
“The Exploited” a Scottish punk band founded by Wattie Buchan in 1980. This is the seventh of the eight Studio albums they made In 1996 “Beat The Bastards”. I love the cover of this album a nice picture. This album made a change in their music. More musicianship, more professional and dedicated text. A well chosen turn to professional music makers. In some numbers is the boundary between metal and punk very thin, like “System Fucked Up”. Great guitar riffs and a great solo. The good old punk, a part of my own youth.
Hailing from Springfield, Illinois, Suffer The Wrath have created two self-recorded EP’s before, Suffer The Wrath and Buried In Blood (2009 and 2012 respectively). Right now they are working on the debut full length (which will probably be entitled Opposition Dethroned), but for now we will have to do with the band’s third EP, Divine Sign, which was recorded entirely (engineering, mix, mastering) at Manuf(r)actured Media with Jon Dale.
“Sonata Artica” a powermetalband from Finland. Named before “Tricky Beans (1996), Tricky Means (1997) and in 1999 finally they chooses “Sonata Arctica”. The sound is more Melodic than power but is well accepted in the powermetal community. They made before 7 albums with success last one “Stones Grow Her Name” sold 2100 copies in the first week of the release.
Young Greek act Satan’s Wrath (line-up: founding members Stamos K on guitars and vocalist Tas Danazoglou, with guitar player V, bassist Costa and drummer Nathan Perrier) return with Aeons Of Satan’s Reign, after last year’s Galloping Blasphemy, an album that I did appreciate a lot for its simplicity and honesty (and fun!). Aeons Of Satan’s Reign has duration of 42:28 minutes and continues the path once created via higher mentioned 2012’s debut.
This split-album entitled Operation: Enduring is rather unique, for both acts involved have something remarkable to add. When it comes to Rot In Hell, it has to do with the newly-created approach they introduced, leaving the Hardcore basement in favour of the apocalyptic Neo-Folk tradition. When it comes to Psywarfare, it deals with the first material in almost fifteen years.
Rivers Of Nihil are a pretty young quintet (current line-up: Adam Biggs, Jake Dieffenbach, Jon Kunz, Ron Nelson and Brody Uttley) from Pennsylvania, formed in 2009.
